Sully’s Beautiful HomeBirth 🩵
In June last year I was honoured to be asked by one of my previous amazing clients who is also now a trained Doula to be at the birth of her third baby - excited doesn’t come close ✨ Susie’s last birth to Stella (who is now 4) was a stunning home birth but this time round it was even more magical with both Stan and Stella there to experience the birth of their little brother Sully. The birth was intense and fast and Susie just tuned into her body and baby and surrendered to the process, she was incredible 🙌🏼 The photos are just amazing by Abbie Susie’s friend and also gorgeous doula who offered amazing support and was such a star to work alongside 🌟 I’ve never been to a birth with so much love and support including husband Jack (who is just a gem) Stan & Stella (they’re living proof that siblings are amazing at birth), Susie’s mum, myself and Abbie and two amazing midwives, what a team and a what a dream ✨Thank you to for letting me be part of your beautiful birth story once again ✨💕 xx

Another incredible home birth, another amazing doula family who I just adore 💜this one was special for me as I supported Orla with her first birth to Theo two years ago which was a really positive induction. So this time Orla planned to birth her baby girl in her beautiful home 💕🏡 And what a birth it was 🙌🏻 a slow build up and a super quick active labour (typical of second babies) Orla went from 50-100 within half an hour. Baby Hallie was born in the pool with just a little gas and air 🙌🏻Straightforward, uncomplicated, no stitches, baby feeding soon after birth, just wow 🤩 Thank you for trusting me to support you again along your pregnancy and birth journey Orla and Brad, I always enjoy spending time with your beautiful family. Big brother Theo is in love with his little sister and everyone including me is super proud of Orla ✨💜

Big love and thanks to the amazing Susie Snook for backing me up once again, you’re one in a million Susie Mind-Body-Birth ✨💕🥰

When I received a message from Amy, 32 weeks pregnant with twins, enquiring about my birth doula support the stars aligned as my previous client had birthed early. With back up support from my wonderful doula friend Susie Snook who put her heart and soul into being prepared (just in case) we were all fully invested. Amy and James were keen to try for a vaginal hypnobirth for their twin girls and although Amy’s pregnancy was physically straightforward - she ticked all the criteria to plan for a vaginal birth and had consultant support for this, maternity services
were not always forthcoming with their support, leaving James and Amy feeling like they had to justify and advocate for themselves and the babies at every appointment. However we made sure we were up-to-date on all the latest research and evidence and Amy and James were confident that their decision of planning a vaginal birth was the right one!
So we were thrilled and over the moon when Amy had an incredible birth using her hypnobirthing techniques and an amazing team of midwives on the day 🙌🏻
Ivy was born head down and Eloise followed beautifully in the breech position. Amy was strong, brave, focused and just incredible. She blew us all away and really showed that vaginal birth for a twin pregnancy with the right support, preparation and mindset is absolutely possible. Her husband James deserves huge credit, the way he supported and cared for Amy throughout was unwavering, absolute hero 🙌🏻 Ivy and Eloise both latched on pretty much immediately and are thriving more everyday. I couldn’t be prouder and feel so grateful to have been part of this amazing experience.
Thank you Amy and James 💜 and thank you to Susie for being my back up, you’re a superstar ✨💕

So I recently had the privilege to support an incredible HBAC (home birth after caesarean) 🏡💙

Emma is truly inspiring and was faced with many challenges along her antenatal journey which she faced head on. After an elective C-section with her first birth, hospital guidelines recommended a consultant led birth on the labour ward, but armed with up to date evidence based information and the belief that home was where she felt safest Emma knew she wanted to plan for a HBAC. With the Bedford home birth team being disbanded last year and with what can only be described as a huge lack of transparency and communication initially from her local trust, we were left unsure as to whether midwives would even be available to support Emma at home. But with determination and drive Emma made sure she got the support she needed to plan her home birth with the support of the community midwives and Doula (me ☺️)

🙌🏻 To say proud is an understatement, we were all crying and so happy and relived that Emma got the HBAC she so wanted and so deserved. A real journey of inner strength, determination and triumph, what a bloody superstar. Baby’s placenta was born with ease within a couple of minutes and Emma, Paul, Baby Joshua and Baxter their dog 🐶were all snuggled, drinking tea and eating toast in no time. Joshua is thriving and such a happy little boy, surrounded by love including his brilliant and caring big brother Alexander 💙

Birth doesn’t have to be perfect, it doesn’t have to be pain free, it doesn’t have to be plain sailing. Birth is raw, it unpredictable but its incredible and Emma and Paul are now feeling so empowered and overjoyed at their choice to have their HBAC - Magic ✨

💜 If you or someone you know could benefit from my support then I’d love to hear from you.

🏡Do you have a busy life and not enough hours in the day to keep on top of the smooth running of your home?

🤩 How amazing would it be to have someone reliable, honest and experienced to come and help so you can keep your house organised and balanced. Instead of spending your free time sorting laundry, food prepping, decluttering, sorting life admin and trying to keep on top of all the chores that family life brings. Wouldn’t it be AMAZING to spend your free time to do things you enjoy!

Make sure you question everything! A seemlessly harmless urine sample can really restrict your birth choices, not just for this pregnancy but subsequent ones too❗️

I hear from many women who really wish they had understood the consequences of having certain tests carried out.

One of those that has the most impact is GBS or Group B Strep testing.

These days, it is all too common for women to be handed a urine pot by a GP’s receptionist without being given appropriate information.

They aren't told that they are being offered a screening test.

No-one tells them that the outcome of the test that will be carried out might have a huge impact on the options and care that will be available to (and in some areas denied to) them and their baby.

They aren't told about the long-term consequences of antibiotics.

Or that the result of their test may affect their options for years to come.

Even in future pregnancies.

As I often say, this isn’t about telling women what they should or shouldn’t do.

None of us can decide what’s right for someone else.

Some women really want GBS testing.

But others don't.

Or wouldn't if they were given the full facts.

It’s about ensuring that everybody has all the information before they decide whether or not to have a test.

Any test.
