Scales, doppler, measuring tape.. angle grinder?

Veronica's midwife basket last month had some unexpected items while she also helped out with renovations in our Caulfield clinic in between appointments! It made for some interesting chat with her first client of the day as she unpacked!

Private midwifery really is a bit of everything some weeks!

There are no words for this moment..so we won't try.

Somewhere along the way, six weeks checks became known as sufficient postpartum care. And most families don't question it because they don't know anything different is possible. This is different in private midwifery, extended and deeply supported postpartum is not considered a 'nice extra', it's actually an essential.

If you know somebody pregnant and planning ahead for postpartum, share this one!

We think you deserve both!
Being cared for means that the clinical side is thorough, evidence based and in safe hands. Being cared about means somebody remembers what you said last appointment, notices when something feels different today and shows up for you as a whole person.

If you're curious about our model of care, book in a chat with us!

A very interesting question we hear in discovery visits for those who are exploring support from a private midwife for a planned hospital birth.
It's such a good question so we wanted to answer it here too for anybody else wondering.

“Then my beautiful midwife Ellie arrived, and everything shifted. She gave me space while holding me in complete support. She asked what I was feeling and trusted me when I said my baby was close. In that moment, she helped me trust my own instincts, and I felt an overwhelming sense of power. So different from my first birth experience.”

We are so grateful to Katie for sharing this powerful experience with us.

These are some of the questions we explore together in our childbirth education classes.

Not because you should arrive at your appointments with your guard up, but because understanding what's being recommended, and why, is one of the most powerful things you can bring into your pregnancy and birth.

When you know helpful questions to ask, informed decision-making stops feeling overwhelming and starts feeling like something you're capable of. Because you are.

Multiple birth classes are available each month in both of our clinics if you're hoping to join!

We'd love to know; is there a question you wish you'd known to ask? Drop it in the comments for others to read!

Private midwifery care is hard to explain until you've experienced it.

So instead of explaining it, we tried to describe how it feels. The best way we know how to tell you what we do, is to show you what it's like to be truly looked after.

Swipe through, and let us know if this resonates!

If you've been wondering whether private midwifery is right for you, a bulk-billed discovery appointment is a good place to start. There's no out-of-pocket cost, there's no pressure, and we'll answer every question honestly.

Birth isn’t something the body needs to be “taught” how to do ( in fact, birth education focuses on preparing the mind & support team)

Labour is a dynamic and natural process that prepares both mother and baby for the moment they meet. While textbooks describe neat stages, real birth often flows in its own rhythm.

A physiological birth mindset means trusting the body, supporting the process, and allowing birth to unfold as it was designed to.

Did labour look like you expected it to?
