Unhurried postpartum.. music to our ears!

Midwife Amy weighing this fresh newborn while the epic parents watch while cuddled in their own bed.

We feel so lucky to be able to enjoy these slow, calm, and meaningful first hours together.

Nothing better than a fish scale and beautiful wrap to do that first weigh!

Next up in our In Your Shoes series, where we share our team’s own moments of pregnancy, birth and postpartum, is the fabulous midwife Bridget.

She’s sharing some special snaps from her own journey, and her beautiful doggy doula.

We love sharing these images & hope you love seeing us in these moments too!

Research from the Australian Birth Experience Study (BESt) shows how important midwifery continuity of care is for women.

Whether you experience a vaginal birth with minimal intervention or have a planned or unplanned caesarean, having a supportive, evidence based continuity of care model with a midwife improves satisfaction with care and confidence stepping into parenting.

Have you personally felt the difference a familiar, trusted midwife made in your pregnancy or birth experience?

Sometimes small adjustments make a big difference! 
Here’s Sarah, our IBCLC, sharing a simple tip: gently make a little space under your baby’s nose while breastfeeding by hugging their bum into you! 

Have you discovered any small breastfeeding tricks that made a big difference for you?

In Australia, when people hear you’re pregnant, the first question is often ‘What hospital are you booked into?’

We’d love to see that change. Imagine if the first question was instead ‘Who’s your midwife?’

Continuity of care and a trusted midwife can make all the difference in your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. Explore your options with us through a free discovery call! Book today through our link in bio.

Your postpartum plan is just as important as your birth plan.

In our classic course we take the time to explore breastfeeding, newborn care, and the practical aspects of life after birth. For a deeper emotional dive, our dedicated fourth trimester workshop focuses on the adjustment to postpartum, helping parents feel supported as they navigate those first months.

What’s one thing you wish someone had prepared you for in those early weeks?

Ni**le pain during or after breastfeeding isn’t always ‘just part of it.’ One other cause could be vasospasm. Swipe through to learn a little more about this topic.

Midwives Kelly, Bridget and Marita popping in to remind you that this is what individualised care can look like.

Some families want extra reassurance visits, more visits to dive into the psychosocial changes during this time or multiple visits with midwives who could be the second midwife on the day of their birth.

Whatever the reason, we have unlimited visits with our midwives at our clinics in the package up until 8 weeks postpartum which has seemed to be so well received with clients!
