My Private Midwife - Hypnobirthing Adelaide

So many mums doubt themselves in those first few weeks wondering if their baby’s getting enough milk, or if their body is producing “enough.” The truth is, your baby tells you through their behaviour and growth.

Wet nappies, steady weight gain, visible swallowing, and a calm, content baby are all reassuring signs. But beyond that, feeding is about connection, not perfection. Your baby’s comfort at the breast, your sense of ease, and the rhythm you find together are just as important.

If something feels off, please don’t wait or blame yourself. Support exists and a small adjustment or reassurance makes all the difference.

Movement during labour is an essential part of helping your baby find their best position for birth. Staying upright and mobile gives your baby space to move and encourages gravity to assist the process.

Here are four powerful positions to support progress:
✨ Forward-leaning helps open your pelvis and relieve back pressure.
✨ Hands and knees encourages baby’s rotation for optimal positioning.
✨ Side-lying perfect for rest while maintaining pelvic alignment.
✨ Squatting uses gravity to help baby descend naturally.

Your body instinctively knows what to do, follow its cues. Move, sway, rest, and breathe. When you work with your body, you create the conditions for a smoother, more supported birth.

Fear often grows from the unknown. When we don’t understand what’s happening in our bodies during birth, it’s easy for that uncertainty to spiral into tension and anxiety. That’s where education becomes so powerful, it helps bring clarity and confidence into what can feel unpredictable.

Through hypnobirthing, women learn about their body’s physiology, the stages of labour, and practical tools to stay calm and in control. With understanding comes trust, trust in your body, in your instincts, and in your ability to navigate challenges with composure.

Birth will always carry intensity, but when you approach it with knowledge and support, that intensity becomes purposeful rather than frightening.

The fourth trimester is where transformation truly begins. It’s the twelve weeks after birth where everything, your body, hormones, identity, and relationships begins to shift and settle. I like to think of it as a rebirth for both you and your baby.

Your body is healing from one of the most profound physical experiences imaginable. Your brain is restructuring itself to tune into your baby’s needs. Emotionally, you may feel everything more deeply, the love, the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the joy.

So instead of striving to “bounce back”, try softening into the new rhythm. Ask for support, rest without guilt, and honour the change. Because becoming a mother isn’t losing yourself, it’s finding a new version of you.

Ironic that you might be pumping because your ni***es are cracked BUT that the wrong fl**ge size can make it even worse
It’s really important to measure your ni***es and get correct size to reduce pain and trauma

Your body already holds powerful tools for comfort and relief, you just need to know how to use them.

🌬️ Breathing
Deep, rhythmic breathing stimulates endorphins, your natural painkillers.
🤲 Touch
Gentle massage or partner support boosts oxytocin and releases tension.
💧 Warm water
Immersion helps relax muscles and ease intensity.

When you work with your body rather than against it, you discover strength in softness. Pain becomes less of an enemy and more of a message guiding your movement, breath, and surrender.

The space you birth in deeply affects how your body behaves. Your primal brain, the part that governs birth is sensitive to light, sound, temperature, and privacy. When you feel safe, oxytocin flows. When you don’t, adrenaline rises.

Small changes make a huge difference. Try dimming lights, playing calm or familiar sounds, using comforting scents, and keeping interruptions minimal. Warmth, privacy, and gentle communication help your body stay relaxed and open.

I’ve worked with many women preparing for a VBAC, each one with her own story, her own fears, and her own quiet determination. Hypnobirthing can be such a powerful support in this journey.

Through relaxation, breathwork, and positive mindset tools, you can release fear from your previous experience and reconnect with trust in your body. The more you understand how your body works, the easier it becomes to feel safe, calm, and capable.

As an IBCLC, I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of women through their breastfeeding journey, from those first uncertain feeds to the quiet confidence that comes with time and understanding.

Together, we explore positioning, latch, and comfort. We troubleshoot challenges gently, celebrate progress, and build confidence in your body’s ability to nourish your baby. Sometimes, small adjustments make all the difference, turning frustration into connection.

In the height of labour, when waves feel strong and time seems to blur, your words can become your anchor. “My baby will soon be safely in my arms.” It’s a mantra that softens the mind and steadies the body.

When you focus on safety, your nervous system shifts from fight-or-flight into calm and surrender. Muscles soften, adrenaline lowers, oxytocin rises. You’re creating the perfect conditions for birth to unfold gently and efficiently.

This affirmation isn’t just about hope, it’s about trust. Trusting your body to know what to do, trusting your baby to find their way, and trusting the process to carry you both toward the moment you finally meet.

How true this is
Many parents will ask about dad giving a bottle so mum can sleep 💤
The problem with this is
Mums supply can be affected
Mum needs to spend extra time during the day to fill a bottle
Sometimes baby doesn’t settle so well after that bottle because feeding is about comfort and bonds with mum 👩
