Most of our frustration as new parents doesn’t come from our baby, it comes from our expectations of them. How many of us have been asked “Are they good for you” through the night 😂 We’re told “good babies” sleep long stretches, settle easily, and feed on schedule. But the truth is… most newborns don’t.

When we let go of the myths and lean into what’s normal, frequent waking, constant feeding, needing closeness, everything starts to feel lighter. Of course, this doesn’t make things easier; the sleep deprivation and emotional rollercoaster are real. However, this thinking certainly allows us to let go of those undue stresses and frustrations.

It’s not that your baby is difficult. It’s that society’s expectations are unrealistic.

The one question I would always ask before agreeing to an induction:

“What’s my Bishop Score?”

Most people have no idea what this is - and yet it’s one of the strongest indicators we have of how an induction is likely to go.

But they rarely share it unless you ask.

It’s literally a score based on your cervix and baby’s position.

A low score? That body is not ready. You’re signing up for a long, hard, sometimes traumatic experience.

A high score? Your chances of a smooth vaginal birth go up significantly.

Please don’t say yes to induction without this number. And don’t be afraid to ask for it.

Have you ever been told your Bishop’s Score? Did you know to ask? Share in the comments 👇

Save this if you want to make truly informed decisions about induction and share it, tag a friend who needs to know.

Stillbirth is real—and heartbreaking.

But using broad statistics out of context to pressure healthy women into induction isn’t informed care.

It’s fear-based control.

Every woman deserves truth, nuance, and support—especially when navigating risk. Your body isn’t broken.

You deserve real care, not coercion.

This sport is 🫣

This weekend, we were so lucky to witness an incredibly inspiring achievement from and her family at 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🏃‍♀️

Not only has Stephanie won the 100k race after giving birth to her daughter 6 months ago. 😳

Not only has Stephanie breastfed her girl several times along the way at the aid stations. 🤱🏻

But she has also won the race starting her race from far behind, with no access to an elite bib. Just wow. Kudos for the rest of your life Stephanie 🎩

What a story. What a sport ! 😍

While every birth that I have the honour to attend is special, there are some days that simply fill my cup and reaffirm why I LOVE this work. This work……It’s hard, it’s tiring, it’s stressful, it’s messy, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, it’s uncertain, but it’s also inspiring, fulfilling, empowering, affirming, redemptive and leaves me in a state of wonder and amazement in the capacity of people in birth. Thank you to those who entrust me to share in their journey and support them in any way that I can.

This one got me right in the feels today. These words perfectly capture the season we are in and how each day I am clutching on to my babies as they grow so fast and the days whiz by before our eyes.
