Empowering Women Through Education

Knowledge is one of the most powerful tools a woman can carry into her pregnancy and birth journey. At Connected Midwifery, we believe that informed women are empowered women; and that education should be easy to access, trustworthy, and supportive.

That’s why we’ve made our entire collection of educational resources available through our app. You’ll find beautifully written ebooks, evidence-based research papers, guidelines and practical tools to help you navigate every stage of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum; right at your fingertips.

✨ Learn about:
Birth preparation and labour support.
Breastfeeding and postpartum recovery.
Newborn care and maternal wellbeing.
Trimester expectations.
Holistic health, nutrition, and mindset.
Community support & resources.
Qld Guidelines.
Evidence based research papers.
Hospital bag list and homebirth prep list.
And More!

Because when you understand your body, your options, and your choices, you can approach birth with confidence and calm.

Education isn’t about replacing intuition; it’s about strengthening it.
And now, you can learn, grow, and prepare anywhere, anytime. 💛

Bonding with Your Newborn: It’s the Little Moments That Matter 🤍

Bonding doesn’t happen in one magical moment; it’s built slowly, through everyday care, touch, and love. Whether you’re a mum or a dad, these early days are about connection, not perfection.

✨ For mums:
You’ve already built an incredible bond through pregnancy, birth, and feeding — but it’s okay if it doesn’t feel instant. Skin-to-skin, eye contact, gentle talking, and simply holding your baby close all help strengthen that connection over time.

✨ For dads and partners:
Your presence matters more than you know.
Hold your baby. Talk, sing, or hum softly. Take part in bath time or nappy changes.
These simple, repetitive moments build safety and trust; the foundation of your relationship.

Bonding isn’t about doing it “right” it’s about being there.
Your baby doesn’t need perfect; they need you; your voice, your warmth, your love.

At Connected Midwifery, we believe that every cuddle, every gaze, every moment shared is helping your baby feel the world is safe and full of love. 💛

Epidurals in Labour: Empowered Birth Looks Different for Every Woman 🤍

When it comes to birth, there’s no single “right” way; only your way.
And that includes choosing (or needing) an epidural.

✨ Epidurals can be incredibly beneficial, especially for women experiencing:
Long or exhausting labours.
Inductions where contractions are strong and close together.
High levels of stress or tension that hinder progress.
Medical conditions that make rest essential.

For some women, an epidural provides the calm and clarity they need to be present for their birth experience. But like all interventions, it’s important to know the facts.
Potential benefits:
Effective pain relief.
Reduced stress and fatigue.
Can support relaxation and allow the body to progress.

Potential risks:
Limited mobility and upright positioning.
May increase need for assisted birth (forceps or vacuum).
Drop in blood pressure or changes in baby’s heart rate.
Occasionally impacts pushing sensation.

✨ Here’s the truth we hold close at Connected Midwifery:
A woman who births with an epidural is no less powerful than one who births without.
Strength isn’t measured by pain; it’s measured by presence, courage, and love. 💛

Birth looks different for everyone; and that’s exactly as it should be.
Informed. Supported. Empowered. Always.

Acupuncture in Pregnancy & Birth 🌿

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to support women through every stage of pregnancy; and now, more and more mothers are turning to this gentle, holistic therapy for balance, comfort, and preparation for birth.

✨ How acupuncture can support pregnancy:
Helps ease nausea and morning sickness.
Relieves back and pelvic pain.
Supports better sleep and emotional wellbeing.
Encourages optimal baby positioning.
Can help prepare the body for labour naturally.

As you approach the end of pregnancy, acupuncture can be used to encourage ripening and relaxation; helping the body and mind prepare for birth. Some women also find it helpful for postpartum recovery, supporting hormone balance and energy restoration.

Acupuncture is safe when performed by a qualified practitioner experienced in pregnancy care, and often integrates beautifully with midwifery and holistic support.

🌸 At Connected Midwifery, we love seeing women explore all the gentle, evidence-based tools that honour their body’s wisdom and promote wellbeing during this transformative journey.

In those early weeks, newborn behaviour can feel confusing but so much of it is normal and biologically expected.

Newborns:
-Need to feed frequently (every 1–3 hours)
-Love to be held and close to you (this builds secure attachment!)
-Wake often at night, as their tiny tummies and immature sleep cycles simply aren’t designed for “sleeping through” yet
-Cluster feed in the evenings to boost milk supply and prepare for longer stretches

At times, you might feel worried that your baby is “too clingy” or “not settling properly.” But as Karitane explains, these behaviours are survival instincts and signs of healthy development, not problems to fix.

Learning to read and respond to your baby’s cues helps you feel more confident and reduces unnecessary stress. Remember, you are your baby’s safe place, and responding to their needs builds lifelong trust.

You’re not spoiling your baby; you’re giving them exactly what they need to thrive. 💛

Birth Photography: Capturing the Moment Life Begins 🤍

There are few moments in life as raw, powerful, and sacred as birth.
It’s not just the first cry; it’s the strength, the surrender, the support, the tears, and the overwhelming love that fills the room.

Birth photography is about preserving those once-in-a-lifetime moments that words can never truly describe.
The look between partners, the first touch, the relief, the joy; all captured quietly, respectfully, and beautifully.

At Connected Midwifery, we believe birth is art. It’s emotion, courage, and love all woven together.
Having a birth photographer allows you to relive that story; not just for yourself, but for your child in years to come.

✨ Our midwife Nikita works gently alongside your midwife, ensuring you remain the centre of the story. Check out .birth.photos
✨ No bright lights, no intrusion — just authentic moments frozen in time.

Because your birth deserves to be remembered.
Every detail. Every feeling. Every breath. 💛

Many women swear by gas & air (nitrous oxide) as pain relief during labor, but did you know its effectiveness isn’t just about the gas itself? The secret lies in the breathing technique!

When using gas & air, women take slow, deep, controlled breaths through the mouthpiece, which naturally lowers stress, regulates pain perception, and promotes relaxation. This is why some believe that using a snorkel mouthpiece mimics the same effect—helping women breathe deeply while biting down for a sense of grounding.

Birth is fascinating, isn’t it? We often underestimate the power of breathwork in labor, when in reality, our breath is one of the strongest pain management tools we have.

Have you tried gas & air before? What was your experience like? 🌬️😂

Did you know there's now a new non-invasive fetal Rhesus (Rh) blood group test available? This test allows us to determine your baby’s Rh type during pregnancy from a simple maternal blood sample.

Why is this important? Traditionally, all Rh-negative women received anti-D injections during pregnancy to prevent sensitisation. But with this screening, we can see if your baby is Rh-negative too, meaning you may not need anti-D unnecessarily.

✅ Evidence-based support:

Ask us about this option at your next appointment; we're here to help you make choices based on your body and your baby.
