“If induction truly protected you and your baby, they wouldn’t need to use fear to make you agree.” Power in Birth

This quote points to a simple truth: when we’re told our baby is “too big,” “at risk,” or that going past a certain date is “dangerous,” the real tool in play is fear—not evidence.

Fear can feel urgent, but it isn’t a substitute for clear information or meaningful informed consent. In most healthy pregnancies, induction carries its own risks—increased interventions, longer labours, and potential for surgical birth.

True protection comes from understanding the evidence, asking the right questions, and trusting your body’s timing. Stay tuned for a carousel post where we’ll dive into exactly what the research says—and the five questions to ask when someone tells you “it’s safer this way.”

You deserve care that invites choice, not coercion. 🌿
Follow Power in Birth for grounded and practical support that honours your body—and your baby—every step of the way.

Love,
Magdalena

Birth has its own rhythm.
Your job isn’t to control it—but to meet it.

There’s a time to surge. A time to soften.
A time to know. A time to ask.
A time to let go.

In a system obsessed with doing, surrender becomes radical.
But in birth, it’s everything.

(Reflection inspired by Lao Tzu, and the physiology of real, undisturbed birth.)

Where you give birth matters.
But what matters more is this: who holds the power there?

If the answer isn’t you—your birth space may not offer what you need most:
🌀 autonomy
🌀 safety
🌀 trust
🌀 respect

Birth isn’t meant to be a battlefield.
It’s not supposed to be a negotiation.
It’s meant to be a sacred space—where you and your baby meet in presence, peace, and power.

A doula can help you prepare, advocate if you wish to, and stay rooted.
💥But let’s be honest—no one person can undo the systemic failures of maternity care.
Not even the best-trained, most compassionate support cannot prevent a system from doing what it was designed to do (i.e. adhere to protocol first and centre parents last).

💖That’s not a reason to give up—it’s a reason to prepare wisely.
To choose with clarity.
To reclaim your power early.

💖 For honest, grounded, truthful doula support in Leeds and Yorkshire, follow .in.birth
Support that centres you and your baby, above everyone else.

I'm birthing an OBC baby 🙂😆. Obviously a happy moment for me. 😍💚

Still learning. Still listening. Still soaking it all in (literally this time - minus the water 💦).

As part of my doula training with the OBC I’ve been getting hands-on with the practical tools that support birthing families—including the pool set up and alllll the other important elements.
There’s something special about learning that way and connecting to the space where birth unfolds.

Birth work isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about being present, prepared, and always growing.
Loving every bit of this journey.

Thank you for today Alex and Leanne!
It was great to meet you and the doula pals from Leeds and Bradford ( if you wish to tag yourself, please do so below so we can keep in touch 💚).

Love
Magdalena

Birth is not a clinical event—it’s a dance between you and your baby. 🤍

In my latest blog, “Building Trust: A New Path to Physiological Birth,” I explore why tuning in to your body and opening a two-way dialogue with your baby can transform your entire experience. From learning to honour your body’s subtle cues, to listening for that tiny tap that says ‘I’m here,’ it all starts with trust.

Comment "cards" or tap the link in bio to discover simple daily steps and pregnancy and birth connection cards I co-created with wonderful Leonie .doula 💚

These beauties are designed to guide you towards a grounded, confident birth and beyond. 🌿✨

It starts with that one breath, one dialogue, one moment at a time....

Love

Magdalena

What if you can transform your pregnancy and birth worries into a meaningful connection with your baby and deep inner knowing? 💖✨

A beautiful, intuitive way to connect with your baby...

We’ve been quietly crafting something that sits in your hands and whispers strength—just like this mama and her baby. 🤍

From the very start, Leonie Leonie - birth at peace - doula and I dreamed up this deck together. We even reimagined the whole concept halfway through—then I began hand-painting each mama figure and arranging them into a collage. It was a true pleasure, and we moved very carefully, slowly, calling in the experience and memories of connecting with our babies in pregnancy…

And then life happened. Leonie had twins and I had various family events...
We meant to launch a million years ago, but we didn’t push. We waited for the right moment. We truly wanted this to be a connected experience, a meaningful work.

Because the world—and our babies—need true connection now more than ever. That’s why these cards exist.

Can you guess what’s on its way?

We can't wait to show you these Beauties this Saturday in our Instagram Live.

With love,

Magdalena and Leonie

The news about Leeds maternity services are devastating — and they’ve left many mums-to-be and parents feeling anxious, heartbroken, and unsure who to trust.

If you’re a Leeds parent or expecting a baby here… you’re not overreacting.
And this isn’t a one-off scandal. It’s part of a long, painful pattern in UK maternity care — one that so many families have already lived through.

So what can you actually do if you're preparing for birth in Leeds?

Know your rights.
Understand birth physiology.
Recognise what’s normal — and what’s not.
Prepare for choices you might face.
And find care that centres you.

That’s a lot to hold. But it’s not all on you. There are people who will walk alongside you — and resources that make this easier to navigate.

I’ve written a longer reflection on this — keeping it real.

📰 You can read it on Substack: link in bio or simply DM with "Leeds".

You deserve care that’s human, grounded, and respectful. Always.

Love,

Magdalena

Birth is not a box to tick.
It’s not just the final hurdle of pregnancy.
It’s your beginning — and your baby’s too.

How it feels, how you’re treated,
how you’re supported… all of it matters.

✨ Birth shapes your nervous system
✨ Birth shapes your baby’s welcome into the world
✨ Birth shapes your story, your recovery, your bond

You don’t need a perfect plan.
But you do deserve a grounded, conscious, supported start.

So if you’re asking:
How do I want to begin?

Start with presence.
Start with connection.
Start with care.

Birth is not just a day...
It’s the beginning of everything.
It's the most important day of our life...

🤍 Follow .in.birth for in-depth, grounded birth preparation rooted in respect, nervous system care, and connection.

Love,
Magdalena
