It is so important to be aware of the link between induction and intervention.

Whilst both have their place, elective induction is proven in yet another study to increase the caesarean rate, as well as other unwanted outcomes.

Happy Birth Your Way is here to help birthing people be informed and empowered in their knowledge. To ask the right questions and consider their options...and to know that they have them!

A wealth of knowledge is available from Sara Wickham - go check it out!

New name! I thought I'd update the grid with the new name, and a little bit of info as to why. So, Calm Waves Birthing was the old name. I loved the connection with my location on the North Devon coast but it somehow never felt quite right. Happy Birth Your Way gives me a warm fuzzy feeling, an inner smile 😊. I want to support and empower women to feel confident, strong, calm and positive about their pregnant body, and their ability to birth.
I will also be expanding my offering in the future, so watch this space! This will be the birth of something beautiful 🥰

Such an important message from Sara Wickham .

Your body, your baby, your choice.

Informed choice is at the heart of Calm Waves Birthing. When you have all of the relevant information, you can then make the best choices for you and your baby.

You get to choose.

I'm starting my posting this year with this quote, which might be the most important sentence I've ever written.

Your birth decisions and experiences are nobody's business but yours.

You have the right to make the decisions that are right for you and your baby.

No matter whether that's to do with where you give birth, who you have with you or what you want going on around that.

We need to ensure that ALL birth decisions are respected.

No-one should be hassled, groomed, shamed, coerced or bullied about pregnancy and birth decisions.

Before, during OR afterwards.

This quote comes from my book, "What's Right For Me? Making decisions in pregnancy and childbirth."

That and my other books have helped tens of thousands of women and families for more than 20 years.

If you need information on induction of labour, Anti-D (RhoGAM), group B strep, vitamin K, placental birth or any other birth decision, I have a website full of information at www.sarawickham.com

I also have books on each of these topics, which are written to help you make the decisions that are right for you.

Your body. Your baby. Your decisions.

Happy 2023 💜💜

Happy Mother's Day to everyone.

It can be a painful day for some, but no matter whether you're a mum to be, longing to be a mum, a step mum, a mother figure, a broken hearted mum, you are seen.

Thanks to for the visual

Yes to this from The Calm Birth School !!

Hypnobirthing is self-hypnosis.
By using relaxation techniques, visualisation and positive affirmations, we can teach the mind to relax so that the body follows suit.

Being relaxed and prepared for birth is always going to help you to have a more positive experience, regardless of what that birth looks like.
