✨ Umbilical Cord Care | Tips for Parents ✨

Your baby’s umbilical cord stump is a normal part of the newborn period and caring for it is usually simple.

The goal of cord care is to keep it clean, dry, and undisturbed, allowing it to naturally dry and fall off (usually within 5–14 days).

Here are some gentle, evidence-based tips to support healing:
Keep it clean & dry
• No need for routine cleaning
• If it becomes soiled with urine or stool, gently clean with warm water and pat dry

Less is more
• Avoid antiseptics, alcohol, powders, or creams unless advised by your care provider
• Air exposure helps the cord dry and separate naturally

Fold nappies down
• Keep the nappy below the cord stump to reduce moisture and friction

Let it fall off on its own
• Do not pull or pick at the cord, even if it looks like it’s “hanging by a thread”

What’s normal
• The stump changing colour (yellow/brown/black)
• A small amount of dried blood
• A mild smell as it dries

🚨 When to seek advice
Contact your midwife, GP, or care provider if you notice:
• Redness spreading onto the skin
• Swelling or warmth around the base
• Pus or ongoing discharge
• A strong or offensive smell
• Your baby seems unwell or has a fever

Most cords heal beautifully with minimal intervention; your baby’s body knows what to do 🤍

If you have any concerns or questions, reach out to your midwife for guidance and reassurance.

Pregnancy and birth are powerful experiences, and guess what?

YOU are the expert of your own body!

It’s time to embrace your intuition and take back control over how you birth. At Connected Midwifery, we’re here to offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your options, ask questions, and make informed decisions that align with your vision for birth. Whether you choose a home birth, hospital birth, or another setting, we trust that you know what’s best for you and your baby. This is YOUR journey, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way; not dictate it. 💪

✨ Why Continuity of Care Matters in Pregnancy & Birth ✨

One of the most important factors influencing a woman’s experience of pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period isn’t just where she gives birth; it’s who she is cared for by.

Continuity of care means being supported by the same primary care provider or small team throughout pregnancy, birth, and after your baby arrives.

And the benefits are powerful.

🤍 Research shows continuity of care is associated with:
• Improved maternal satisfaction
• Increased trust and confidence
• Reduced interventions
• Higher rates of vaginal birth
• Better postnatal support and wellbeing
• Stronger advocacy and informed decision-making

But beyond the statistics, continuity allows your care provider to truly know you; your story, your preferences, your fears, and your hopes.

What does continuity of care look like in Bundaberg?
✨ Private Midwifery Care
Care with the same midwife or small team throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period — often in home or hospital settings.

✨ Private Obstetric Care
Continuity with a private obstetrician throughout pregnancy and birth, but still birth at the public hospital (The Base Hospital).

✨ Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) through the Hospital
A publicly funded model offering care from a known midwife or small team, with limited places available.

Each option offers different pathways, costs, and philosophies of care and the right choice is the one that aligns with your needs, values, and circumstances.

🤍 What matters most is knowing you have choice.

If you’re pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or simply wanting to understand your options, we encourage you to ask questions early and explore what continuity could look like for you.

In pregnancy and birth, relationships matter and continuity of care creates space for trust, safety, and empowered decision-making.

✨ Happy New Year from Connected Midwifery ✨
Hello, 2026 🤍

If you’re reading this quietly this morning, coffee in hand, house still asleep, heart full of thoughts about the year ahead; we see you.

A new year often brings reflection, hope, questions, and sometimes a quiet knowing that something needs to feel different.

If pregnancy, birth, or postpartum is part of your story this year, we want you to know this:

🤍 You don’t have to navigate it alone
🤍 You are allowed to ask questions
🤍 You deserve care that feels safe, informed, and deeply supportive

At Connected Midwifery, we walk alongside women with choice, continuity, and respect at the centre; whether you’re newly pregnant, planning ahead, or simply wanting to understand your options.

As this new year begins, we gently invite you to:
✨ Reach out
✨ Start the conversation
✨ Ask the questions you’ve been holding

No pressure. No expectations. Just connection.

Here’s to a year of trusting your body, feeling supported, and being held by the right care 🤍

Happy New Year,
From The Connected Midwifery Team.

✨ New Year’s Eve Reflections ✨
As 2025 quietly closes…

If you’re scrolling tonight while the world gets ready to celebrate - maybe pregnant, maybe hopeful, maybe holding a lot of questions; we want you to know this:

🤍 You don’t have to have it all figured out
🤍 You’re allowed to want support that feels personal
🤍 You deserve care that honours both safety and choice

As we step into a new year, we’re reminding women that there is another option.

🌿 Bulk Billed Shared Care with Connected Midwifery 🌿

Our shared care model allows you to:
• Access a private midwife early in pregnancy.
• Receive ongoing antenatal education, bloods, referrals & support.
• Continue care alongside the hospital.
• Have postnatal midwifery support in our clinic or home visits available with a small fee for travel.
• And for most women — no out-of-pocket cost, thanks to Medicare bulk billing.

This model is perfect if you:
✨ Want continuity and relationship
✨ Value informed choice and time
✨ Want to feel known, not rushed
✨ Are early in pregnancy or planning ahead

As one year ends and another begins, this is your reminder:
💛 You’re allowed to ask what care could feel like; not just what’s available.

If shared care has been on your heart, reach out tonight or in the new year.
Our inbox is open, and the conversation is gentle and obligation-free.

Here’s to stepping into 2026 feeling supported 🤍

30/12/2025

As we reflect on 2025, we are filled with gratitude for the families who trusted us to walk alongside them through pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period.

This year, 74 families were cared for privately through Connected Midwifery (shared care families excluded from stats). Each number represents a woman, a baby, and a deeply personal story — and we hold that with great respect.

🤍 Care & Birth Planning
• 57 families (77%) planned a homebirth
• 21 families (28%) planned a hospital birth

🏡 Homebirth Outcomes (of planned homebirths)
• 38 families (66.7%) birthed at home
• 7 families (12.3%) risked out prior to labour
• 10 families (17.5%) transferred to hospital
– 6 (10.5%) during labour
– 4 (7%) post-birth for medical review

👶 Mode of Birth (of all families)
• 66 vaginal births (89.2%)
• 8 caesarean sections (10.8%)
• 4 instrumental births (5.4%)

These outcomes reflect informed decision-making, continuity of care, timely escalation when needed, and a deep respect for physiology and safety.

✨ 2025 was also a year of growth for our team
We expanded our care model, with Nikita and Yanna stepping into primary caseload roles, allowing us to support more families while maintaining the continuity and connection we are known for.

✨ We also introduced our Bulk Billed Shared Care model, making private midwifery care more accessible; supporting women from early pregnancy through to the postnatal period alongside hospital care.

Thank you to every family who invited us into one of the most sacred seasons of their lives.
Thank you to our community for continuing to trust, support, and share our work.

Here’s to continuing to walk with women with care, choice, continuity, and community; into 2026 🤍
