Thank you to Devon Matenity and neonatal voices partnership for this focus group. It was so welcoming and relaxed, with babies joining too. Anyone who wanted to, talked about their experiences of being discharged from hospital, what worked well, what didn’t.
I would encourage anyone to join these groups, it’s a really valuable way to share your thoughts or experiences, and influence change.

Share your experience or thoughts to help make a difference to the process of discharge from hospital after birth. 💜

This podcast is such a good resource. Listen to different birth stories from the UK on Spotify.

It can be so inspiring and informative listening to birth stories, it can also prompt conversations around birth preferences or options.

Hear this
💕POSITIVE TWIN BIRTH STORY 💕from Layla. She advocated for herself all through, navigating consultant care and Covid restrictions, and she had what she describes as a beautiful birth.

It was an honour to witness her ‘in her power’as her Doula.

These words-
‘Active birth’
‘Labour positions’
‘Birth partner support’

sound like a physical workout, or a set of exercises, or perhaps some mysterious combination of postures to be done.
To simplify things-

🫟it means any position or movement that the person who is birthing is doing.
They might use ‘props’ or people to support them in the position they choose for themselves, for comfort.

🫟Ideally, they can move about freely, however they wish. They don’t need to do lots of different prescribed movements.

🫟Props may include furniture, walls, pillows, stairs, rebozo scarf, birth ball, peanut ball, water/pool, slings/rope, or loving hands arms or shoulders to lean into. Anything!

🫟If there are reasons that their instinctive movements are disturbed (e.g epidural, monitoring, physical or clinical restrictions) then knowledge of some adaptation or alternative positions may be helpful.

🫟There are some movements or positions that may be beneficial in labour in some circumstances (e.g baby not in an optimal position, prolonged labour).

🫟Free movement includes resting when needed.

In ‘The Snug’ at GOODBIRTH I offer private antenatal sessions, for pregnancy support, for Birth discussion, for Hypnobirthing, for labour, postnatal or parenting preparation.

My aim is to create a space where you have the opportunity to let it ALL out. You and birth partner or friend. Whatever is on your mind.

Then, my support is based on evidence, science, practical experience and gathered wisdom.

It is for those who want to prepare for birth, those wanting relaxation and nurturing during pregnancy, those who want to navigate the maternity system or are having a complicated pregnancy, or those who want science based facts.

We plan the session around what is important to you. Each session is for 3 hours and you can choose to have one or more.
Location-Brixham South Devon, or in your home.

ALL WELCOME, whatever your story or circumstances.
I’ve been around a while, so I’ve gathered different skills. I’m a Doula, registered Hypnobirthing teacher, NNEB Nursery nurse and former NHS Midwife.
Biomechanics, Rebozo techniques.

It’s so good to see these statistics in visual form, thank you Torbay and South Devon Maternity Services
I know it says 26% of pregnancies were included, and it must also take time to collect information.

Just adding another birth to your info,
💜a home water birth in Torbay this May.

It would great to know about VBAC births too.
⭐️Congratulations to all the families.

Each birth is different.
It is the most wonderful feeling to be invited to attend a birth. Yes, it is my work, but that doesn’t mean that I ever take it for granted.

It takes a lot of trust to choose a Doula. We start from a place of feeling that we are a good fit for eachother, aligned with what they feel they want and what I feel I can offer, comfortable in eachother’s space.

It begins with a connection that is already ‘fizzing’ with a good energy. There is a knowing that we are meant to be on this birth path together. It’s about trust and respect.

That beginning develops into a unique relationship, and my support will be different for every pregnancy, and each birth.
It may be practical, physical, informative, emotional, or something else, it will always be about sharing birthing wisdom, listening, nurturing and honouring what choices they make for themselves.

It’s always a privilege.
When I’m asked to be their Doula the second, third or fourth time. Well. That’s a whole other story of deep joy!

Pregnancy takes you on a path that will gradually change every part of you, your body, your mind and your way of life.

New life grows, and your body unfurls and your organs shift. You may find a new confidence within yourself, deeply rooting in your innate wisdom, or find ways to ground yourself by seeking knowledge or support.

You will blossom and be most glorious, before ultimately birthing yourself as a parent.

offering Doula Services, Hypnobirthing, practical information, and nurturing support, if you seek it ✨
