BIRTH CENTRE FEEDBACK 🩷

“Hi, I just wanted to send a quick message to share some feedback and gratitude to everyone at the birth centre but especially to Abby and Izzy, who delivered our son Alfie on Friday. It was a pretty fast birth and I was 8cm when we arrived so things happened quite quickly.
I’m so grateful to Abby and Izzy for their care and encouragement, they were truly amazing. They kept me completely informed and calm about every decision, even when things were a bit chaotic and I felt so supported and uplifted by them both to get through the birth. Thank you so much for helping me deliver our son safely, the job midwives (and all the staff) do is incredible and I feel so grateful for the positive experience I’ve had. ❤️ THANK YOU ❤️”

🌸 We’re looking for women and birthing people to take part in a research study! 🌸

The study is exploring healthy lifestyles after having a baby to help improve postnatal and preconception services across Greater Manchester 💜
Who can take part? Women and birthing people who have had a baby in Greater Manchester in the last 12 months, are over 16 years old and speak English, Arabic or Urdu.

📝 What’s involved?
You can complete a questionnaire and/or take part in an interview - whatever works best for you!

Your experiences could help shape the future of postnatal support for women and families 💬

📧For any questions please contact: Kylie Watson 07929759975 Thank you for helping us make a difference!

Physical touch can be one of the most powerful ways to support someone in labour! 🤍

Touch isn’t just comforting, it actually helps release oxytocin, the love hormone that drives contractions! It can help boost natural endorphins (hormones that help reduce pain and stress) and can help labour progress physiologically.

But remember! It’s not one size fits all.
Always check what feels good, and follow her lead.

Examples of physical touch in labour:

• Light massage (with hands or tools)
• Gentle strokes along the back or arms
• Firm counter-pressure (hip squeezes, sacral pressure)
• Holding her while she sways or leans forward
• Abdominal lift and tuck (with midwives guidance)
• Massage oils or warm scented flannels
• Brushing hair away from her face
• Holding hands or offering a steady shoulder to lean on

Support that isn’t direct touch but still comforting:

• Pouring warm pool or shower water over her back
• Helping position a TENS machine
• Using acupressure balls or a birth comb
• Adjusting pillows, wedges, or birth balls for comfort
• Supporting upright positions and movement

We’ll be sharing 5 labour love languages over the fortnight💛
Send this to your birth partner for some Valentine’s inspiration!

Yesterday the team came together to wish farewell to our birth centre hero (& January Employee of the Month) as she leaves for the postnatal ward, C2.
It was only fitting to celebrate with a meal & pornstar martini cake (baked by midwife Cressie)🍸🎂 Wishing you all the best on your new start - C2 and the families are lucky to have you! It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later 💛
Did Julie care for you on Birth Centre? We’d love to share with her if you comment below.

“Julie for always being so supportive & bubbly to be around !! She has the ability to make the worst shifts that bit better and makes everyone smile 😂 We will miss her”
“Julie is such a fabulous human! She is always up for a laugh or an adventure! She really makes the BC feel like home! I’m so sad to see her go but I know she’ll glow on C2.”
“Julie - She has been such a wonderful support during some super busy shifts. Being there to support birth after birth, helping with absolutely anything we needed with a smile on her face. She brings such a special presence to the team & I highly value her kindness and care. Everyone needs a Julie in their life.”

BIRTH CENTRE FEEDBACK 🩷

“A special thank you to Aisha and Alice as well as student midwives Liv and Laura, who were exceptional. Their calm, compassionate, and professional approach gave me so much confidence and comfort. I felt listened to, respected, and completely supported through every stage of labour.

The facilities at Wythenshawe Birth Centre are beautiful and thoughtfully designed — the birthing pool, mood lighting, and peaceful environment really helped me stay calm, focused, and relaxed throughout labour.

I feel incredibly lucky to have had such a positive and empowering birth. I can’t thank the team enough, for helping make this experience so special. I would highly recommend Wythenshawe Birth Centre to any expectant parent.”
