Today, we honour the life and legacy of Michel Odent — a true pioneer who reshaped how we understand birth.

His vision was simple yet revolutionary: create an environment where birth unfolds instinctively, without unnecessary disturbance. He reminded us that the way we welcome babies into the world shapes not just families, but society itself.

As midwives, educators, and birthing people, we continue to carry forward his wisdom: “To change the world, we must first change the way babies are being born.”

Rest in peace, Michel Odent. Your work lives on in every gentle, empowered birth. 🤍

💜 FUN FACT FRIDAY 💜 By around 13–15 weeks, your baby’s taste buds start developing, and they can taste the flavours in the amniotic fluid based on what you eat.
Garlic, vanilla, even curry — your cravings might just be baby’s first food adventures!

Studies even show babies smile more after birth when tasting familiar flavours from the womb. How cool is that!?

💜The Birth Comb: A Small Tool With Big Impact 💜

Did you know a simple comb can be a powerful comfort tool during labour?

Holding a comb with the teeth pressing into the base of your fingers stimulates acupressure points and uses the gate control theory—helping shift your brain’s focus away from the intensity of contractions.

It’s grounding, accessible, and fits right into your birth bag.

Whether you’re planning a hospital, home, or birth centre experience—this little tool can support your sense of calm and control. 💛

Have you heard of the birth comb before?

💜ADMISSION CTGs💜 Did you know many hospitals are still offering Admission CTGs, this means that if you are a low risk, healthy woman who presents in labour, continuous fetal monitoring is connected for approximately 20-30min, but this can be dependant on when it ‘meets a certain criteria’ so what is explained as a 20-30min procedure can actually eventuate into being connected longer, or even continuous throughout labour. When a Cochrane Review looked at the evidence, it stated there are no statistical benefits to baby outcomes and there was an increase in cesarean and instrumental births.

At the end of the day, it’s a woman’s choice if she wants CTG monitoring or not, but she should be given this information to help her make an informed choice?
