Our heart has always been, and continues to be, full private midwifery care. While our clinic has allowed us to expand how we support individuals and families, we remain Private Practising Midwives who come to you and provide true continuity of care 💜

Whether you are planning a home birth or a hospital birth, our focus remains the same: personalised, relationship-based care that supports you from conception through to six weeks post-birth. The clinic is simply another way for us to offer care through additional services, not a change to how we practice.

We offer midwifery throughout the Adelaide metropolitan area, the Barossa, the Fleurieu Peninsula, Murraylands, and the Adelaide Hills. Complete Midwifery care includes both home birth and hospital birth options👌

Love this!

Summer days don’t stop babies from needing to feed ☀️

Breastfeeding is welcome everywhere - at the beach, on a picnic rug, and wherever your day takes you. Thanks Natalie, for sharing this great snap with us!

As school goes back and routines shift, many mums of babies and young children feel like the mental load quietly doubles overnight. Between lunches, uniforms, school runs, class WhatsApp messages and remembering baby feeds, day sleeps and appointments - it can feel never-ending.

And for many families, it’s not just older kids and babies or toddlers in the mix. Some mums are doing all of this while pregnant, navigating a changing body, bone-deep tiredness, nausea or morning sickness, and still showing up every day for everyone else 😩

That invisible 'mental load' - the constant planning, organising, remembering and anticipating, often sits with mums. It’s not just the physical tasks but holding everything together emotionally and mentally too.

Even when kids are excited to head back to school, behind the scenes mums are often managing:
• school routines, uniforms and lunches
• baby or toddler sleep schedules
• pregnancy fatigue or sickness
• childcare juggling around school hours
• emotional transitions for big kids and little ones
….and the list goes on!

This kind of ongoing mental effort adds up, especially during seasonal transitions like back-to-school. It’s real, it’s heavy, and it’s something many mums silently carry.

If this is you, you are not failing, you’re carrying a LOT.
Whether you’re packing lunches while settling a toddler, chasing a preschooler while pregnant, or running on broken sleep, it’s okay to acknowledge that this season is demanding 🥵

Let’s be gentle with ourselves and each other.

Membrane sweeping is a form of induction of labour.

A membrane sweep is also called a stretch and sweep, or sometimes just "a sweep."

It's an intervention that you may be offered towards the end of pregnancy.

As with all interventions, it's up to you whether you have it or not.

How does it work? A midwife or doctor will, while doing a vaginal examination, sweep a finger around and/or within the opening of your cervix (the lowest part of your womb).

As with all interventions, there are pros and cons. Membrane sweeping can cause pain, discomfort, bleeding and infection.

We don't really know if it works. Some studies show it may work. Others don't. The evidence is of low quality.

It is always a good idea to get informed
before you decide what's right for you.

If you'd like to know more, there's a blog post on membrane sweeping on www.sarawickham.com

It's called "What is a stretch and sweep?" and you can find it at https://www.sarawickham.com/articles-2/what-is-a-stretch-and-sweep/

In it, I explain more about membrane sweeping, the pros and cons and some of the things you might want to know before you decide whether or not it's right for you.

I hope it helps.
