✨ The Midwife-Approved Hospital Bag Checklist! ✨

You’re doing amazing, mama. Preparing for birth is all about creating a sense of calm, and a well-packed bag is a huge step! 🤍

As a midwife, I’ve seen it all, and I know exactly what you’ll actually use (and what you can probably leave at home!). My goal is for you to feel calm, prepared, and ready to meet your baby.

I’ve put together my essential list that covers MAMA, BABY, and BIRTH PARTNER!👇
Click the link my bio for the ultimate checklist for what to pack!

Pro-Tip: Don’t wait until the last minute—get this sorted around 35-36 weeks! Save this post and tag a pregnant friend!

🤝 To All Birth Support People: You Are Essential! 🤝

✨As a midwife, I’ve witnessed countless births, and I can tell you unequivocally: your support person is pivotal in the birthing room. Your presence, support, and active participation can profoundly impact the birthing person’s experience.

Here are three ways you can be an invaluable source of comfort and strength during labor:
1. Be The Advocate & Communicator 🗣️: You are often the bridge between the birthing person and the care team. Help communicate their birth preferences, ask clarifying questions, and ensure their voice is heard, especially when they might be deeply focused on labor.
2. Master the Comfort Measures 🙌🏻: Learn and practice comfort techniques before labor. This includes counterpressure for back pain, massage, guiding breathing, or simply offering hydration. Being hands-on and knowing how to help is incredibly empowering for both of you.
3. Provide Unwavering Presence & Encouragement 💗: Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is just be there. Hold their hand, offer a reassuring gaze, tell them how amazing they’re doing, and remind them of their strength. Your calm, loving presence can be a powerful anchor.

Your role is vital, and your support makes a monumental difference. You’re not just a bystander; you’re a crucial part of the birthing process!

What’s one way your support person (or you as a support person) felt most helpful during birth? Share in the comments! 👇

✨ Understanding the Golden Hours: More Than Just Cuddles! 💖

The “Golden Hours” is the incredible first 2 hours after birth, dedicated to uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact with your baby. It’s a physiological powerhouse for both of you!

👶 For Baby:
* 🌡️ Temperature Regulation: Stabilizes faster next to you.
* ❤️ Calms & Comforts: Familiar heartbeat and voice reduce stress.
* 💨 Stabilizes Vitals: Normalizes heart rate & breathing.
* 🍼 Supports Breastfeeding: Promotes an earlier, natural latch.

👩‍🍼 For Parent:
* 🥰 Boosts Bonding: Releases oxytocin, the “love hormone”!
* 🤱 Supports Breastfeeding: Encourages natural feeding cues.
* 🩹 Aids Recovery: Helps shrink your uterus and reduces bleeding.

Prioritize this special time if you can! It sets the stage for a beautiful beginning.

💖 Balancing Babies (Human & Fur), Business, and Biohacking!
Hey everyone! 👋 Just wanted to share a little snapshot of what makes up my world these days.
I’m Izzy, and I wear a few different hats that keep me on my toes—in the best way possible!
The Hats I Wear:
👩‍⚕️ Midwife by Trade: There is truly nothing more fulfilling than supporting families through one of life’s most transformative moments. I pour my heart into maternal and newborn care.
🐕 Border Collie Mum x 2: My two fluff-ball shadows are my constant source of chaos and cuddles! They keep me grounded (and busy!).
🍳 Kitchen Enthusiast: When I need to de-stress, I head straight for the kitchen. Food is my love language, and my dogs patiently wait for any accidental drops! 😉
📚 Forever Learning: Currently immersed in my studies to become a Lactation Consultant! Committed to expanding my knowledge to provide even more comprehensive support to new parents.
🌿 Consultant with LifeVantage: As a midwife, I see the importance of proactive health every single day. I’m passionate about biohacking and sharing the science behind optimizing health from the inside out. I partner with LifeVantage because I truly believe in the power of their products to support energy, focus, and overall vitality, which helps me show up as my best self for my patients, my dogs, and my studies!
It’s a juggle, but every role brings so much joy and purpose. This is my life, a beautiful balance of caring, creating, and connecting.

PCOS & Oxidative Stress: What’s the Connection?

If you’re managing PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome), understanding oxidative stress is a game-changer. ✨

Oxidative stress happens when there’s an imbalance between free radicals and your body’s antioxidants.

In women with PCOS, research shows that this imbalance may:
🔹 Worsen insulin resistance
🔹 Trigger chronic inflammation
🔹 Disrupt ovulation & hormone balance
🔹 Increase the risk of cardiovascular issues

But here’s the good news— how would you like to reduce your oxidative stress by 40% in just 30days!

Comment “PCOS” below for something that can change your life! Your hormones will thank you. 💚

I’ve learned that true wealth starts from within. 🧠💪 You can have all the money in the world, but if your health is suffering, you can’t fully enjoy it. And on the flip side, if you’re constantly stressed about money, your health takes a hit too. The two go hand in hand.

That’s why I’m on a journey to help you improve both — one healthy habit and one smart financial move at a time.

No more ‘either-or’ mindset. I’m building a life where I can feel good in my body and secure in my bank account. This is your reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other — you deserve both.✨

Let’s grow stronger, wiser, and wealthier — together. For more info comment “FREEDOM” below 👇🏻💰🧘‍♂️

🌸 Vaginal Examinations…

What are they for and how do they assist in labour and birth?

1️⃣ Used to determine labour progress, cervix length and dilation
2️⃣ They require your consent and are not compulsory
3️⃣ The best way to accurately have vaginal exams is by the same healthcare professional as they can be very subjective
