Follow along for a day in the life of midwife Olivia!
Bright mornings, blood tests, admin, home visits, catch ups with epic colleagues, return clients, and ending the day on the couch with a well-earned cuppa ☕️

The first weigh in for this gorgeous baby born at home, surrounded by soft material, lovely lighting and the voices of the people who love them the most. There is something very special about this moment when it’s not rushed & we’ll never get over the cuteness of little fresh feet sticking out of the end of our scales!

Rest and sleep are genuinely one of the best things you can do in early pregnancy, because exhaustion makes nausea significantly worse. Your body is building a whole human and the first trimester is when so much of the heavy lifting happens.

However, telling a person with a 3 year old to “just rest more” is basically a comedy bit, so the midwifery couch in between appointments it is some days! ❤️

Midwife Veronica spotted in the wild!

She drives past this international grocery store regularly and has apparently been referring to it as “the clinic’s husband” in her head the whole time & only told us! We’re very happy to know that our clinic’s husband can supply delicious food, great pick by us if we do say so ourselves!

The big move from the shower to the couch, it can feel like a marathon after birth!

We love these raw moments of homebirths, seeing Midwife Ellie’s smile while holding this beautiful babe as epic mum is using her strength and the support of her partner to stand up from the bathroom floor with TENs machine still in place after a very powerful and quick birth.

Is there anything else like it?

Some words from beautiful Midwife on her pregnancy MVP’s so far..

“The vomit bucket (we’ve all got one) has been my new handbag!
Lemon (either to eat a wedge or put into soda water) helps make hydrating slightly easier and gets an awful taste out of my mouth (IYKYK).
My pill box with all of the first line treatments for the nausea and heartburn I struggle with (B6, doxylamine, nexium, small folate/folic acid tablet in exchange for a big multivitamin that can make nausea worse for me; of course chat with your own care provider about your own needs & history). Having one of these helps avoid forgetting meds one day which can lead to a very rough day following.
Not pictured: a big MVP is a midwife like who you can sit on a couch with an cry for an hour antenatal appt about how s**t you feel, be held, seen and figure out how to survive it.

So grateful to Bridget for sharing her journey for other parents to see the realities of and possibly feel less alone!

Have you been thinking about private midwifery but not sure where to start?

Maybe someone mentioned it, you read something, you heard it in a birth story or maybe you just have this quiet feeling that you want more than what standard care is able to offer like more time or more continuity
If you’re ready to ask some questions or hear more, our discovery appointments with a midwife are bulk billed, no referral needed and no obligation to book any care.

Tell us that you’re a midwife without telling us you’re a midwife.

Midwife Veronica recently shared this pic in the group chat of her notetaking during an apt before she had time to sit down and write it all down & we couldn’t relate more. We’d love to hear your version of this in the comments!

Midwife Bridget has been trying everything under the sun to budge this nausea, including weekly acupuncture in the first trimester with our very own Lara Bloomer, and moving fortnightly in the second trimester. Bridget didn’t try this in her first pregnancy but she feels like it has been of the strategies that has kept her functioning this time around. Thankful to Bridget for sharing her journey, which so many of our clients can relate to!

We had a final postnatal visit with the wonderful Emilee and Matt recently who are both musicians & kindly gifted all of the midwives who attended their birth (4 of us as it was a marathon labour!) their own personal records! Midwife Marita brought hers home to her son Joel as a special gift, as she missed most of his birthday supporting this beautiful family. We feel so lucky to do this work, and even luckier when we get to do it for people like Emilee and Matt. Thank you both for such thoughtful gifts.

Thinking about the kind of support you want around your birth? We’d love to walk alongside you ❤️ check out our website for more info!
