Mumma G Midwifery and Lactation Support

This season can hold a lot.
Joy. Chaos. Expectation. Nostalgia. Overwhelm. Love.

As we gather with family and friends, I hope you feel free to honour your needs — whatever they look like this year.

🌿 It’s okay to say no to what doesn’t feel peaceful.
🌿 It’s okay to create space, take a breath, and step back when you need.
🌿 It’s okay to prioritise your rest, your baby, your boundaries.

There’s no one right way to do Christmas.
Quiet moments count.
Small traditions matter.
Presence, not perfection.

Wishing you time to be held, to breathe deeply, and to come back to what matters most.

Let this season meet you gently.

Full Journey Midwifery Care 🤎

From the first appointment to the first weeks at home, I walk beside you.

With Mumma G Midwifery, you’re not just receiving checkups, you’re building a relationship. Every visit is relaxed, unhurried, and tailored to you. Together, we prepare for birth, reflect on your experience, and honour your choice, all while creating a sense of safety and deep trust.

You’ll have continuity of care through pregnancy, birth, and up to 8 weeks postpartum, because your story doesn’t end when your baby arrives.

This is your care, your space, your voice and I’m here for the full journey.

One of the most valuable skills you can begin before your baby arrives?

Learning to hand express colostrum.

In the first 24-48 hours, your baby’s stomach is about the size of a cherry, but the size of their feed might be smaller,  perfectly matched to the rich, golden drops your body makes just for them.

Colostrum is full of antibodies, easy to digest, and made for this season.

In Part One we’re talking about:
▪️ Baby’s stomach size in the early days
▪️ Why small volumes are just right
▪️ How colostrum supports feeding and bonding

🤎Stay tuned for Part Two, where we explore how to express colostrum and why it’s a skill worth building before birth.

Sliding into the birth pool is often the moment everything shifts.

Your breath deepens. The noise softens. You feel held.

Water has this way of supporting you while giving you space.

It relieves pressure. Eases pain. And invites your body to move how it needs to -intuitively, instinctively, freely.

This isn’t just about comfort (though that’s a gift too).

Water supports your hormones, your rhythm, and your baby’s gentle transition into the world.

And when birth happens at home?

You’re not limited by hospital policies. You can immerse on your terms, in warm, calm water, in your space, with your people.

If you’re curious about water immersion or birth in water? Drop your questions below..

Sometimes birth asks us to let go, not as a loss, but as an opening.

For Chelsea, Leo’s birth was just that. A sacred shift. A surrender of one vision, met with something just as powerful: the birth her soul truly needed.

Healing. Soulful. Deeply held.

However your baby is born, your experience matters.

And you deserve to feel supported through all of it. Thank you for sharing with us Chelsea and Leo 🤎

A little midweek reflection…🤎🤎🤎

Two days ago looked like this:
- Start in Townsville, end in Ayr, with a whole lot of love and midwifery in between.

- There was time with Clare, Peter and the girls.
- A dentist appointment squeezed in.
- A capstone presentation at JCU with Rachael, sharing what it really looks like to care for women through the Private Midwifery Model.

- A beautiful afternoon with my mentorship crew.
A drive to Ayr.
- Time with Isabel, the grandbabies — and Harry.
- A home visit in Home Hill to prepare for a birth at home.
- A pathology request for someone just beginning their journey.

And let’s be honest… that list was ambitious.
Some things happened. Some didn’t.
But the things that mattered most? They always do.

Driving back down the coast last after a swift and steady HBAC.

Still feeling the bliss of it all. 🥰

There’s something so powerful about being back in tropical North Queensland, where women birth their babies in the heat, the humidity, and the wild rhythm of this land.

Lightning flashing in the distance.
Rainforest canopy overhead.
Frogs croaking.
Lady and Mabel Duck peeking through the window, curious as ever.

Birth and nature, side by side - as they’ve always been.

You can say no.

To a procedure.

To a test.

To a timeline that doesn’t feel right.

In pregnancy, labour, birth and well beyond you have the right to pause, to ask, and to choose.

It doesn’t make you difficult.

It doesn’t make you non-compliant.

It makes you informed. And in charge.

As your midwife, I’m here to support you through every decision, every moment, with respect and without pressure.

Because your body deserves nothing less.
