Be reassured that when the cord has finished its work, it shows you.⁠
⁠
No rush, no guesswork, no timing; just witnessing the natural transition & supporting the family to cut the cord when it feels right for them.

This is one of the many ways we honour physiology, intuition and the unfolding of birth in its own time.⁠

Six weeks earthside!
That special final visit between 6-8 weeks where we check in, reflect on the journey, and of course... say yes to all the baby cuddles on offer.
⁠
Watching families grow and settle into their new rhythm is really such a joy of private midwifery.

“How do I know if my baby is getting enough milk?”

It’s one of the most common questions we’re asked in appointments, classes and groups. You can’t see how much milk your baby is drinking, so it’s easy to second guess sometimes.

Swipe through for some of the signs that show that your baby is feeding well and getting what they need.

And remember, every baby is different, and you’re not meant to figure it all out alone. We’re here to support you if you feel like you need some help!

The amazing Kat shares the story of her daughter Lucille’s birth; a calm, water birth at the Royal Women’s Hospital, just an hour after arriving.

She writes about the overwhelm of navigating an unfamiliar system, and how, with the support of midwife Marita and her stepping into her own power, that uncertainty transformed into an experience of confidence, clarity, and deep trust.

From early labour at home to a gentle birth in water, Kat and Doug share their wonderful story.

It’s okay if tuning into your intuition doesn’t come naturally, especially if past experiences have made that inner voice feel more like worry than wisdom.

As midwives, we often ask questions like “what feels right for you?” because we trust that you know your needs and your baby’s best. But it’s also okay if that feels unfamiliar at first.
⁠
Pregnancy is a powerful time to start building that connection with yourself, not just for birth, but for the journey into parenting too.

After birth, there is so much joy in pausing to honour the placenta.⁠
⁠
This incredible organ nourished and protected your baby for months.⁠ Taking a quiet moment to look at your placenta & to acknowledge the work it’s done can feel like a full circle moment.
⁠
There is just so much to wonder at when you look at placentas & we love giving a guided tour to parents- you grew this amazing organ after all!

Feeding journeys don’t come with maps and manuals - but they can come with support.

Whether it’s troubleshooting, encouragement, or just a comfy chair and someone to listen, our lactation clinic is here for it all.

Feeding your baby shouldn’t be something you have to figure out alone – especially when this is how happy LC Sarah looks doing her work!
