A landmark Australian court ruling just changed birth rights forever. 🇦🇺
In Gawthrop v Bendigo Health, a woman arrived at hospital with a birth plan stating: “I DECLINE ALL vaginal examinations unless there is an urgent medical reason to do so. Informed verbal consent MUST be given from myself prior.”

This wasn’t a last minute decision. She had spoken with staff multiple times, explained her personal history and been reassured her wishes would be respected. They weren’t.
She was coerced into a vaginal examination as a condition of receiving pain relief, admission and access to her midwife. It triggered a severe reactivation of her pre-existing PTSD, causing lasting harm to every aspect of her life.

The Supreme Court of Victoria found the hospital guilty of assault (threat of unwanted contact), battery (unwanted physical contact without genuine consent) and negligence (failure in duty of care) — on two grounds. They failed to follow their own informed consent policy. And she was given false reassurance her birth plan would be supported.

Saying yes when you have no other choice is not consent. If you are not told you have a choice — it is NOT informed consent.

Your rights are real. They are legal. They can be upheld in court. 💛

59% vs 13%. Let that sink in. 🤍

A randomised controlled trial gave women a doula when they arrived at hospital.During induction, the caesarean rate was 59% with a partner alone…and 13% with a partner and a doula.

Same hospital. Same staff.Different support.

And yes — this is solid research.The McGrath & Kennell (2008) trial was published in Birth and is included in the Cochrane Review on continuous labour support — the gold standard of evidence.

What makes this even more important?These weren’t women without support.They already had a partner there.

So this isn’t about doulas replacing partners.It’s about what a doula adds that no one else in the room can.

I’ve been a doula for over 20 years.I’ve seen this play out in real birth rooms, again and again.

The evidence has always been there.Most women just haven’t been told.

That changes this week.She Births — my book — is available for pre-order from next week.

Everything I know. Everything the research shows.In your hands before your birth.

I changed the very last word in the She Births book yesterday.

At this stage — fifth pages — everything is already typeset, illustrated and designed. Changing just one word can be tricky.

So it has to matter.

This book is not only about avoiding intervention.

It’s about how we make birth beautiful — whatever path it takes.

We’re living in a time where complex experiences are reduced into short, simplified content.

But birth is not simple. That is WHY you need to read a great book. 📕

Birth is shaped by your nervous system, your history, your environment, your care, and the system you’re moving within.

It’s a confluence of factors.

And yes — we are now at twice the caesarean rate we were 25 years ago, with most of that increase happening in the last decade.

But this book isn’t driven by that statistic alone.

It’s about understanding why and how we can grow and change.

Only the She Births book gives you the space for that.

To reflect on your own experience, while also stepping back and seeing the broader picture.

Next week I’ll be revealing the cover and opening orders.

I’ll also be sharing excerpts from the book and offering giveaways in the lead-up to launch.

Stay tuned for more juicy book and birth love ❤️

There’s a new podcast episode out with sharing her birth journeys - and it’s practical and inspiring.

Jacqui speaks about how there wasn’t one dramatic turning point for her... It was a gradual shift. Listening to birth stories. Training in prenatal yoga and pilates. Learning more about her body. Immersing herself in conversations about pregnancy.

Over time, she realised she wanted to aim for a natural birth with thorough preparation and minimal intervention. Not from pressure. From alignment.

As someone who is goal-oriented, she set her sights high — preparing her body and mind so she could meet birth with capacity and trust.

There is a lot of wisdom in this conversation about preparation, exposure, and how our values quietly shape our choices.

Comment JACQUI and we’ll send the link to your DM.

A caesarean is not the “easy way out.”

For many women, it’s a significant and often unexpected journey that asks for flexibility, strength and surrender. There is still pain. There is still recovery. There is still a profound physical and emotional transition.

There is no bypass in birth.

Whether your baby is born vaginally or via caesarean, your body works hard. Your nervous system is activated. Your heart expands. Every birth asks something of you.

At She Births®, we don’t just focus on birth by the mode of delivery. We focus on how you feel in the room — informed, supported, connected. When there is love, respect and teamwork between you, your partner and your care providers, birth can be beautiful in any form.

It is about values, agency, respect, care and the tools.

Preparation is not about controlling an outcome. It’s about strengthening your capacity to meet whatever unfolds and make it beautiful.

Midway through our She Births Masterclass in Byron, we cooled down in the river.

A reminder that birth, like water, moves when we soften and trust its flow. The river is a metaphor for labour itself - powerful, intelligent, and always moving to the ocean of oneness.

Our in-person Masterclass is about more than information. It is connection, conversation, and practising the tools and techniques together so you can work as a calm, steady team. We rehearse breath, bodywork, acupressure, positioning and practical strategy. We ask questions. We build confidence.

And your preparation does not end there.

Every couple also receives access to our Full Online Course — the world’s only scientifically verified birth education program — plus an integration session and ongoing support as you continue your birth prep at home.

If you are wanting to meet your baby and feel steady in the current rather than overwhelmed by it, join us for an upcoming course. Sydney Byron Newcastle & Ocean Grove VIC

Hi, I’m Nadine

I’m a mother, childbirth educator, doula and have been a prenatal yoga teacher for over 20 years. I am the director of The Birthing Institute and creator of the She Births® program.

She Births® is a holistic, evidence-based birth course for pregnant couples that I developed within my local community of Bondi Beach, Sydney. Since its humble beginnings, She Births® has now grown into an internationally recognised, and scientifically verified, birth course that has been completed by thousands of expecting parents around the world.

When my son was born I have to say, like many women do, the experience of labour shocked me! Even after 12 weeks of birth education I felt like my partner and I were not prepared to navigate the intensity and complexity of birth, or, for the challenges that came along afterwards.

After many years of attending births, and influenced by my medically trained family, I became inspired to develop a comprehensive birth course that makes a real difference.
