Every time anything is offered to you in labour (whether from a midwife, doula or partner) it should be for you.

Not to tick a box or protocol, not for someone to feel useful, not to show knowledge, not to feel in control. The lines here are blurry and suggestions can be with the best intentions on the surface but dig deeper and they are not always about you.

All of these examples even those that seems less intrusive can affect the birth process, stimulate thinking and have consequences. Sometimes these consequences seem subtle but can be powerful. They can all affect mindset massively and how that birthing person perceives how well they are doing or how ‘normal’ everything is.

From the routine VE that can cause a compete overturn of confidence to an oil that is being used for someone to feel ‘useful’ in the space but isn’t what the labouring woman needs and in fact makes her ‘come to’ and affects her flow - all things have an impact

Consider your wants and wishes and your support carefully antenatally and always ask yourself - is this really about me?

March energy! One of my favourite months.

Nurturing those plans from the last two month as everything wakes up around us

Where’s your energy at?

24/02/2026

Channeling energy into what we don’t want will more likely lead us there.

It is not always easy to choose faith, to choose trust but the choice is there nevertheless.

Start small. Identify what you do want and start expanding this in your life, in conversations, in writing, in images, in thoughts, in what you read and what you think. A little each day. Be consistent.

If you would like help, contact us at Babies In Waiting.

We are ready to support you.

Where is the safest place for you to birth your baby? Well, that depends. It depends on YOU. On how you FEEL when you set foot in your home or hospital.
Because how you feel about that place matters!
We know that hospital offers us medical security but does it offer you emotional safety?
Emotional safety for most birthing people is the key ingredient that enables us to birth safely. It allows hormones to flow as nature intended and let the physiological process of birth unfold and so then we are way less likely to need medical support.
Research is now readily available to show homebirth is equally and often safer than birth in a hospital setting .
If you are making the decision about where to birth your baby, have an honest, open, two way conversation with someone you trust. Your doula, your midwife, your hypnobirthing teacher, yourself!

Make your decision based on facts, biology and evidence, not fear.

There is a lot of negative energy around especially on social media

Yes there has to be change (though honestly if one more person mentions how it’s apparently rained every day so far this year 🤪)

But the change we want starts with us, our own individual energy and our own nervous system and when you’re pregnant these are worth protecting.

As a group of women at Babies in Waiting we are mindset focused.
We will be supporting you to keep your focus where you need it to be, giving you tips and support to do this and opening up positive energy for you at a time when you need it more than ever!!

So if you want that ‘I needed to hear that’ kind of vibe, book in, grab your coat (and a brolly if necessary) and come and join us.

And d’you know there were blue skies on Tuesday and Saturday this week.

Have you ever seen or heard a birth story and thought well I’d love to do that but it’s just not me…

If you find yourself doing this
is it possible to loosen your identity of who you think you are as a birthing woman?
Sometimes we very quickly write off options or possibilities because - ‘oh that’s not me’
Homebirth? Intervention free birth? Birthing with children around? Birthing loudly? Birthing quietly? Birthing alone?
You see a video, hear a birth story or consider a scenario and think ‘I couldn’t do that, that’s not me’
Except it is. There are infinite possibilities open to all of us. Quantum physics tells us this.
We just have to open our mind to them.
What if it is you? What if even a small part of the feeling of that ‘type’ of birth is you? Be open to it all and you never know where it might lead you

Well I could say the obvious - environment - choosing homebirth was for me a key component

It could be my partner, though the same lovely man, he was way better prepared the second time round.

I could say practising my tools and techniques. Yes absolutely. Game changing.

Opting out of routine procedures - one was intervention free which had a huge impact post partum.

But do you know if I strip it back before all those things fell into place it was that someone who believed in birth, believed in me

And that created the ripple effect that meant I chose the homebirth, that meant my husband felt confident and backed me 100%, that meant the tools made sense and it meant I started to believe in me.

So thank you for sharing your belief with me 💜

…and you understand how the mind affects the body during labour and how you can use this to your advantage!!

After all birth is not simply something to get through - it’s a life changing, beautiful, transformative event that will stay with you and your baby always.

It is designed to be a positive experience.

It’s always worth the prep in my mind:)
