One of the biggest questions many people have about becoming a parent is:

“Will I be a good parent and know what to do?”

The truth is, no one has it all figured out from the start. Parenting is learned day by day, moment by moment, as you get to know your baby and yourself in this new role.

Love, patience, and showing up matter more than having all the answers. You’re already on your way 💗

How will I know if I am in labour?

Signs can look different for everyone, but you may notice:
• Irregular tightenings of your belly
• Back pain or pelvic discomfort
• Loose bowel motions
• Your waters breaking
• Feeling restless or very uncomfortable

Trust your body and reach out to your care provider if you’re unsure - you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Have a read of this interesting article X

We see more comments, queries and concerns about induction of labour than about any other single pregnancy and birth-related topic.

It's too hard to put everything that women and their families need to know in one post (which is why I have written two books about this!)

But here are some of the key facts.

Induction of labour is absolutely the right decision for some women, and absolutely not the right decision for others.

Some women are delighted that they had their labour induced, and some women regret this decision for decades.

Induction is often suggested for a risk factor rather than for any medical reason. This risk may not be greater than the risks of induction itself for you - only you can decide that.

It is for those reasons that we encourage anybody who might be affected by this to get lots of information about induction of labour or any other birth intervention before making a decision.

The mass media is not a good source of information about birth. Newspapers spin stories to make headlines and often fail to discuss the nuances and complexities of the issues.

Like many of my colleagues, my primary concern is that people who need to make such decisions can get good information from a credible source and make the decision that is right for them.

That’s why I’ve written two books about this. They have both helped tens of thousands of women and families make the decisions that are right for them.

I also have more than twenty articles and blog posts to help you understand the issues.

If your baby has a longer break between feeds, they may want to feed more often later to catch up 🤱

This is normal and helps them get the nourishment and comfort they need. Babies don’t always follow a predictable schedule - and that’s okay.

Watch your baby, not the clock.

Surprising fact: babies communicate long before they ever say their first word 👶

Through cries, facial expressions, body movements, and eye contact, your baby is already telling you what they need and how they feel. Learning their cues is the beginning of your unique connection 💛

You’re already having conversations - just in a different language.
