✨ Let’s talk about it… Commenting on a women’s size during pregnancy✨

Why do people think it’s okay to comment on a pregnant woman’s body?
“Wow, you’re huge!”
“Are you sure there’s just one in there?”
“You’re so small … is the baby okay?”

We would never say that to a woman who isn’t pregnant… so what makes it okay when she is?

Pregnancy isn’t an open invitation for public commentary on a woman’s body.
Every comment even when “well-intended” lands differently when you’re carrying life, feeling every change, every emotion, and already questioning so much within yourself.

Your body is doing something miraculous.. it doesn’t need to be compared, measured, or commented on.

Let’s normalise saying things like:
“You look radiant.”
“How are you feeling today?”
“How amazing is your body growing your baby”

Because she already knows her body has changed …what she really needs is compassion, not commentary.

So tell me… have you ever had someone comment on your body while pregnant?
⬇️ Drop your story below — it’s time we talk about this.

✨Birth Video

This birth video is of my beautiful client Asheligh for the birth of her 3rd baby.

Ashleigh and her husband came to see me for the birth of her second baby and had such an amazing birth using the Hypnobirthing techniques that for their third baby they decided to do a homebirth.

What are your thoughts of birthing at home?

Home birth is safe when you know your options and have good support through a midwife and doula and also Hypnobirthing.

I birthed my second baby at home and LOVED my birth.. I would do it all again in a Heartbeat.. I just wish I had a beautiful birth photographer to capture the moment.

I love watching birth videos and especially those taken by the talented Kirby from Do make sure you go and give her a follow.

✨ If there’s something you need to do, want to do, and can afford to do… then what’s really holding you back?

Sometimes the decision has already been made deep within you…your heart already knows what’s right, your body already feels the relief of moving forward, and your future self is whispering… thank you for choosing me.

So as you read this, you may begin to wonder… what shifts the moment you stop waiting? What opens when you give yourself permission to say yes? Because not only are you saying yes to yourself, and you are saying yes to your baby!

Because when you know it’s possible, when you feel it’s time, and when you choose to step in then everything begins to change.

🌸 The question isn’t can you?
The question is will you allow yourself to?

Your empowered birth begins the moment you decide. DM me to explore how the Journey to Birth program can support you.

My October group courses are coming up soon and I have limited spots available.

The incredible umbilical cord 😲🤩⁠

Shared from .birthphotography
⁠
🔷 What you can see here is two arteries and one vein surrounded by Wharton’s jelly. They’re responsible for getting oxygenated blood ⁠
via the vein to baby and low oxygen blood back to the placenta via the arteries! ⁠
⁠
🔷 Here are some other cool facts about the umbilical cord –⁣⁠
1. On average they are between 45cm – 60cm long.⁣⁠
2. They genetically belong to baby, having formed from the yolk sac.⁣⁠
3. During the last trimester, the umbilical cord delivers half a litre of blood to baby every minute.⁣ ⁣⁠
⁠
🔷 Did you know these facts about the umbilical cord? ⁣⁠

Even better are you ready to commit and go all in on yourself and your baby and educate yourself for your birth? Those who are ready comment READY below ⬇️ and I’ll tell you how I can support you like I with thousands of parents over the past 13 years!

💦Did you know your waters don’t always “break” the way movies show?

For many women, the amniotic membranes release at some point during labour — not before. In fact, research shows that only around 10–15% of women experience their waters breaking before surges begin.

Sometimes, the membranes remain intact right up until birth (mine did for both of my babies). This natural protection supports the physiology of labour, cushioning your baby and helping maintain optimal pressure for the cervix to open with ease whilst protecting the umbilical cord from compression.

And then there’s the rare and sacred moment when a baby is born en-caul (I actually have a birth video of one of my clients that I show in my program of a baby born en-caul) within the unbroken amniotic sac. Across cultures, this has been surrounded by myths and meaning: some say it’s a sign of special gifts, others see it as deep protection for both mother and child. What if this was simply another way that birth shows us its mystery?

What would it mean for you to make sense of the fact that your body holds many ways of working with nature… and that your baby’s journey into the world may not look like anyone else’s?

When you prepare with knowledge, you dissolve fear. When you learn about your options, you grow in confidence. When you understand birth physiology, you step into your power.

🌿 This is what we explore inside the Journey to Birth course where I teach you the tools, the questions, and help you gain the confidence to navigate your birth the way YOU want to go.
