A big thank you to the Women's Wellness Project for sharing their knowledge on perineal tears during childbirth.
Childbirth is an incredible experience, but it can also come with physical challenges — one of
the most common being perineal tears. These occur in the area between the vaginal opening and the a**s (the perineum) during vaginal birth.
While minor tearing is common, particularly for first-time vaginal births, some can be more
serious and affect your recovery.
The good news?
There are steps you can take to reduce your risk — working with a pelvic health Physiotherapist (also known as a Women’s Health Physio)
can be one of the most effective.

Please note that P2B is based on the Gold Coast, QLD and operates on Queensland time (AEST).
Queensland does not observe daylight savings, so our schedule remains the same year round. If you're in a state that does use daylight savings, please make sure to adjust your clocks for P2B appointment times.

This month marks 12 months since my wonderful mentor of over 20 years, Helen Green, joined me in supporting P2B families on their breastfeeding journeys.
As a midwife through P2B, I’ve always wanted parents to feel truly supported in every stage of birthing, feeding, and early parenting.
Over the years, I noticed that while many families felt well-prepared for labour and birth, there was often less confidence and knowledge around breastfeeding and those early weeks.
That’s why I adapted P2B services last year to give parents the antenatal education they need to feel confident and empowered in breastfeeding before their baby arrives.
Because breastfeeding is more than just nutrition. it’s a relationship between mum and baby.
With the right knowledge and support, families can step into this journey with confidence, connection, and care.
Did you feel that you had enough breastfeeding education before your baby was born?

My inbox is full of emails from parents having a hard time with this weather and what to dress their little ones in.
It is hot during the day but still quite fresh (even cold) overnight.
So this may look like running 2 different togs of sleeping bags (day different to night) or the constant on abmnd off of blankets from night to day.
Remember, always dress your little one for the temperature inside the house.
I often go to homes running air-conditioning at 24 degrees with little ones going down just in a singlet for sleep. When we talk about it, parents tell me/say "but it's 30 degrees today Michelle". Yes, it is, but that's outside, not inside where your little one is sleeping.
In the evening, if your little one is sleeping through the night, when your little one is going down, always dress them for the coldest part of the night and turn the fan on to cool the room down. Then, when you go to bed, turn the fan off.
If they are waking for a feed, then add warmth after that first feed.
I know it's hard, but try not to overthink it. If you are under a blanket, then your little one still needs warmth.

My name is Michelle Jackson and I am a Registered Midwife, Registered Nurse, Infant Sleep Specialist and Childbirth Educator. In the past 20 years, I have worked extensively in both private and public practice in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast. My experience includes all facets of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting. I am also a mother of 3 children, and as a mother and midwife, I realise that life is busy.
I am passionate about supporting families which is how P2b was founded.
PRIVATE ANTENATAL CLASSES
I have a passion for antenatal education and saw that there was a need for more personalised and private antenatal classes on the Gold Coast. Not everyone has the time to attend large groups of childbirth classes over 4-6 weeks. As a result, I started P2B offering a unique service on the Gold Coast providing practical, unbiased, evidence based and personalised antenatal education ….. all in the privacy and comfort of your own home. Classes take anything from 4 - 5 hours. They can be done over 2 days/nights or on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon.
My personal birth and parenting experiences are vast. They include a vaginal delivery and caesarean section. As a result, I strongly believe that individual birthing and parenting options / choice is paramount. I aim to support, respect and inform parents to be of their birthing and parenting choices no matter what that may be. Labour is a amazing journey into the unknown. It is important to focus on what awaits you at the end of your long, hard journey!
SLEEP & SETTLING ADVICE
I also believe that one of the most important lessons we can teach our baby's is the art of sleep. I know from personal experience how stressful it can be when your baby doesn't sleep. My sleep and settling techniques are age dependent. I offer assistance with routines that are flexible yet structured and most importantly adapted specifically to you and your baby.
I offer online advice - This service includes an initial phone consultation and then follow up emails, text and phone support as required.
I also offer in home visits for up to 2 hours or up to 4 hours. All in home consultations include 1 week ongoing support.
EARLY PARENTING SUPPORT
Being a parent is an exciting and rewarding experience and P2B offers a range of parenting support services including weekly weighs and early parenting education. Continuity of care is essential for new parents and this service allows for P2B to support parents through their transition into parenthood – all from the comfort of their own home.
P2B postnatal support includes 5 x 1 hour (in your home) visits post hospital discharge. These visits need to can be utilized within the first 10 weeks’ post birth.
Topics covered during the visits include: Weight, Common misconceptions and myths of parenting, Normal infant behaviour & understanding and recognizing your baby’s needs, how to avoid sleeping problems & the crying and unsettled baby, practical swaddling and settling techniques, feeding & newborn baby care and establishing a routine.
Online support (fair play policy applies) is included with this package. It is recommended the first visit is a 2 hour visit (using 2 of the 5 visits) to establish a rapport.
TODDLER + 1
The thought of bringing baby #2 home can for some parents feel a little overwhelming. P2B Toddler + 1 class (up to 2 hours) aims to prepare & support parents though this transition. P2B’s Toddler + 1 class includes a review of the current routine and sleep habits of baby #1 – having a non sleeping or sleep issues with your toddler when bringing #2 home makes that transition even harder! These issues should be sorted BEFORE your baby arrives. (Please note this is a review only and is not a sleep consultation). Also covered are handy hints on bringing baby #2 home: basic recap of labour (if required), introducing your baby to their sibling, nursery set up, feeding, routine, getting out of the house with 2 children, adjusting your routine with baby #2 to incorporate your toddlers activities … and of course sleep.
BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT
Just because you have had a baby doesn’t automatically give you the knowledge on how to successfully breastfeed. Although natural and obviously the best for our babies – breastfeeding doesn’t always come easy. Breastfeeding is a learned skill by both parties: – mum & baby. It takes time, patience and plenty of practice. It is essential to have the support of family and friends.
Prices and more details of all P2B services can be found www.parents2b.com.au. To book your consultation please email, private message or phone Michelle.
