I heard the term ‘informed compliance’ in a book yesterday, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it… because it names something I know so many parents experience in pregnancy, birth and postnatal care.

It’s that feeling of saying “yes” — but not because you truly chose it.

When information is presented in a partial, biased, or one-sided way, it isn’t real informed consent.

If you’re only told the benefits but not the risks…
If alternatives aren’t discussed…
If the framing makes one option feel like the only safe or reasonable choice…

Then what’s happening isn’t consent.

It’s informed compliance.

It’s being gently — sometimes subtly, sometimes not — guided toward the decision someone else wants you to make.

And when that happens, you’re not being given the full picture… you’re being shaped to agree.

True informed consent means:

- You are given balanced, complete information
- Risks, benefits and alternatives are all discussed
- There is no pressure or agenda
- Your questions are welcomed
- Your decision — whatever it is — is respected

Information should be shared in a way that is free from personal bias and judgement and you should be genuinely free to choose. Otherwise, it’s compliance masquerading as consent.

WELCOME TO ALL THE BABIES BORN IN DECEMBER

⛄🎅🎄🎁❄️👶⛄🎅🎄🎁❄️👶

We’re happy to share these birth numbers with you. Please remember these numbers are about real women and birthing people, real births, and real experiences. Many things affect the decisions made during birth.

The infographic reflects the number of registerable births. This includes all babies born alive at any gestation, and any babies stillborn after 24 weeks gestation.

Our statistics come from our data system where all information from pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period at inputted. We understand that occasionally inputting errors can happen.

The answer is…ALL FO THEM!

Before any procedure is booked, it should first be offered with an in-depth discussion of the rationale, risks, benefits, and alternatives. You should also know exactly what is involved — otherwise, how can you really know what you’re agreeing to? Getting informed consent is not optional. It is a legal obligation for healthcare professionals. These conversations must be explained clearly and documented so there is evidence of what was said.

Induction of labour is not a single step, but a series of procedures that usually flow into each other. It’s not enough to say “we’ll do a balloon induction” when we know most people will also need hormones or an artificial rupture of membranes. This should be made clear from the beginning, because it might influence your decision.

At every stage of induction, the midwife should explain the procedure that is about to happen, including risks and benefits, and invite questions. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, so revisiting the discussion before each step is essential. Saying yes at the start does not mean you cannot change your mind later.

You don’t have to remember everything all at once, and you don’t need to have all the answers straight away. It’s completely okay to pause, ask for more information, or take time to think. These are your decisions, and you should feel supported throughout the process. 💪🏻💪🏻❤️🫶💜

My Parent Hood is officially 3 years old… THREE YEARS! 🥳

When I started this little side project, I honestly thought it would just be “a small antenatal class side thing.” But… it’s become so much more than that. It’s changed how I practice as a midwife, how I see birth, and how I view maternity care.

This year has brought some exciting changes too — with every course fully booked (and a few even overbooked), plus the launch of a new course book and my own Hypnobirth tracks. The feedback has been so encouraging, and I’m really grateful for the way these additions have been received. I’ve also been busier than ever with 1:1s — supporting families to feel empowered, confident, and heard in their care.

That’s only been possible because of your ongoing support. Every share, like, message, and recommendation truly helps this little community grow, and I’m so thankful for it. 💛

Over these 3 years, I’ve learnt so much. Hearing birth stories and experiences has opened my eyes even more to what maternity care feels like through women’s perspectives. I’ve been stretched, challenged, humbled — and I keep learning. I’m always reading, always growing, always trying to do better.

And as if that wasn’t enough excitement, 2025 began with a new role: Multiple Pregnancy & Preterm Birth Midwife. 🌟
I’m loving developing services that work for families, and the joy of following the same faces through pregnancy is just… soul food.

Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and celebrating the power of birth and parenthood. 🫶
