You don’t need everything for postpartum — but having the right things within arm’s reach can make those early weeks feel a whole lot easier.

Postpartum isn’t the time to be problem-solving, you'll be doing some of that with your new baby! Being able to to reach what you need without thinking too hard is where it's at.

Time for a reintroduction! We’re Georgie & Fleur — two mums, two Doulas, and the two humans behind Postpartum With Georgie.

We both know firsthand how tender, overwhelming, and life-changing it is to enter motherhood. The love is huge… and so is the adjustment. The exhaustion. The questions. The moments where you wonder am I doing this right?

✨ Georgie is a postpartum Doula, boy mum, latin dancer and matcha lover — she brings calm, nurturing support and a whole lot of reassurance when things feel heavy. Georgie has availability from May onwards.

✨ Fleur is a birth & postpartum Doula, girl mama, world traveller and coffee lover — she offers grounded, practical pregnancy, labour and birth support and reminds you to trust yourself and your body. Fleur has availably for birth support from August/September and possibly towards end of the year.

We’re here to support you — not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you during one of the biggest transitions of your life - Matrescence. To hold space, hip squeeze, lend a hand, answer questions, and remind you of the incredible job you’re doing 🤍

That’s a wrap on 2025! 🎄

What a year!! Here are just a few things that I’m really proud of: walk club with a bunch of lovely mamas, a beautiful mothers day breakfast and other social events, being a finalist for the Small Buisness and Australian Women’s Champion Awards, but the best by far has been welcoming the wonderful Fleur to PwG to support families through pregnancy and birth. I’m so pleased to have her!

We’ve supported 15 families this year with birth and postpartum support. My heart is so full.
To the families who trusted us, welcomed us in, and said YES to support, we are so glad to have shared in your journey this year.

We will be taking a much-needed break over the festive season and coming back fresh in 2026! We have availability from May onwards, so if you’ve been thinking about it, make 2026 the year you say YES to support ❤️

Happy holidays x

Walk Club is back! 🚶‍♀️✨

Did you know that walking and talking isn’t just good for your body — it’s amazing for your mind too?

With daylight savings coming soon, fortnightly Walk Club is returning! Everyone’s welcome — come for some solo mum time, bring your baby, or bring a friend/partner💞

Just 30 minutes of walking a day can:
✨ Reduce stress by boosting brain chemicals that help moderate our response to it
✨ Release endorphins (aka your feel good chemicals) for a natural mood lift
✨ Ease anxiety and support calmness
✨ Improve relaxation and even help with sleep

If you’d like to come along, send me a message and I’ll add you to the chat for details. Can’t wait to walk with you!

Exciting news 💥

I’m so thrilled to share that I'm in the running for the Local Business Awards again this year ❤️

Last year, I was honoured to make it to the finals in my category—it was a great way to get the word out about Doula support and a beautiful reminder of why I do this "work". Supporting families as they grow and settle into parenthood is truly at the heart of everything I do.

If I have supported you, or if you believe in the importance of postpartum care in our community, I’d be so grateful if you could take a moment to cast your vote.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me—none of this would be possible without this amazing community!

Some mothers come out of birth feeling strong and filled with joy.
Others are changed in ways they never expected.

My birth was nothing like I had imagined.

It was full of intervention. It felt messy.
I had very little control over what was happening to me.

After birth, I had to hand my baby to my partner.
I couldn’t hold him. I felt weak.
I needed a few minutes to process everything that had just happened.

Even now, thinking about that moment brings sadness.
But I’m grateful my partner was there by my side, and my student midwife too.

You can have a "healthy baby" and still feel shattered. You can have a textbook birth and still feel violated or dismissed. It doesn't have to start or end in an emergency to be deeply impactful.

Birth trauma is a physiological response to a situation that felt overwhelming, unsafe, our out of your control. It stays with so many of us — in our minds, our bodies, our relationships, and in the stories we don’t always feel safe to tell.

Birth Trauma Awareness Week is held each year to help people understand that birth can cause physical and/or emotional trauma — and to highlight the need for better funding, care and support.

💛 If you’d like to share your story, my DMs are always open.

✨ Say hello to Fleur! ✨

I am so excited to welcome Fleur to the team as she joins me in offering birth support for families.

Fleur is a local Canberra mum and is currently finishing her studies to become a Doula. We both went to the same school, both had our babies within months of each other and we work in very similar day jobs! From the moment we connected and started getting to know each other, I knew she would be such a wonderful addition.

“I am passionate about women feeling empowered to lead and own their birth journey. Being a Doula is an amazing opportunity to support you through what is truly an incredible time in your life. Motherhood is a bit of a leap of faith, and I think many women feel out of their depth as they step into this new phase – I know I did!

I want to help you learn about this amazing process, so you can make informed decisions about what happens during your pregnancy, birth, and those first months of motherhood.”

🤍

You might be wondering – why birth support?

I'm often asked if I attend births, and in this season of my own motherhood journey, it’s something I just can’t accommodate. But I knew I wanted to bring on someone who is deeply passionate about birth, and who could provide families with the very best support.

I am so excited for this new chapter, working alongside another wonderful mama and Doula. Stay tuned for more info.

Welcome to the team, Fleur! 💞

What is a placenta?

This temporary organ (yes, an organ!) grows with your baby and is absolutely vital for a healthy pregnancy. It’s your baby’s lifeline — and it works around the clock.

So what does the placenta do you ask? Lots of cool things!

✨Delivers oxygen and nutrients – Everything your baby needs to grow is passed through the placenta from your blood.
✨Removes waste – It clears out carbon dioxide and other waste products from your baby’s blood, sending them back to your body for disposal.
✨Acts as a filter and barrier – It helps protect your baby from some (but not all) harmful substances.
✨Transfers antibodies – Especially in the third trimester, the placenta passes on your immune protection to help your baby fight infections after birth.
✨Produces pregnancy hormones – It makes hormones like hCG, estrogen, and progesterone that help maintain pregnancy and prepare your body for birth and breastfeeding.

There are also 2 sides to the placenta: the fetal side and the maternal side!

Once your baby is born, the placenta follows shortly after. Some families choose to honour it in special ways:

🌟Placenta encapsulation – steaming, dehydrating, and turning it into capsules to be taken postpartum (it's believed to support mood and energy, reduce bleeding and help with milk supply, though evidence is mixed). The amazing Ash from offers this service!
🌟Lotus birth – Leaving the umbilical cord and placenta attached until it naturally detaches from baby, often over a few days.
🌟Placenta prints and cord art – Creating a ‘tree of life’ artwork using the blood vessels and shape of the placenta. Or drying the cord into a shape to keep.
🌟Burying the placenta – Often under a tree or in a meaningful spot as a symbol of life, connection, and new beginnings.

It’s so easy to overlook this incredible organ — but the placenta truly deserves it's moment after birth! Ask your midwife to give you a placenta tour and see the amazing organ you grew up close!
