This review says it perfectly.
They didn’t need to go hunting for more info.
No late night Google spirals.
No conflicting advice sending them sideways.

Not because their birth was “perfect”. It wasn’t.
Plans changed. Things got intense.
And still, they felt calm, informed, and involved.

That’s what proper birth prep does.

We don’t teach you how to control birth.
We teach you how birth actually works.
What interventions mean.
How decisions are made.
And how to stay steady when things shift quickly.

So whether birth unfolds smoothly or goes off script, you’re not left feeling confused or powerless.

If you want to see how we do that, comment PREVIEW and we’ll send you the first module of our birth prep course for free.

Being told not to eat in labour.
Physiological birth or induction.
Still happens. Still weird. Still not okay without a proper reason.

Labour is hard work.
Like, Olympic level hard work.
Your body needs fuel to do it.

If someone tells you you cannot eat, you get to ask questions.

Why exactly?
Is this about me personally?
Or is this just a blanket policy?
Are you expecting a caesarean?
Is there a medical reason right now, or is this about convenience?

Because those are very different things.

During an induction, eating is often absolutely fine.
Being told “you’re not allowed” without explanation is not informed consent. It’s just control dressed up as safety.

At no point should food be taken off the table without a clear, individual reason being explained to you.
You are not a passive patient.
You are doing the work here.

And for what it’s worth, we know loads of midwives who would never tell someone not to eat in labour.
Physiological birth.
Induction.
Home. Hospital. Birth centre.

Your body knows how to labour.
It also knows when it needs fuel.

You’ve got this.
Ask the questions.
You’re allowed to.

Pregnancy can feel loud.
Advice everywhere. Opinions you didn’t ask for.
And that low-level anxiety that creeps in at 2am when your brain won’t switch off.

This journal was created to give you somewhere to put all of that.

A few minutes a day to slow down.
To get informed without scaring yourself.
To process what you’re actually feeling, not what you think you should feel.

It’s not just a keepsake.
It’s birth prep that works on your nervous system, not just your to-do list.
Because when you feel calmer, your body responds differently.
And yes, your baby feels that calm too.

You don’t need to do more.
You don’t need to be “positive” all the time.
You just need space to think, breathe, and prepare in a way that feels safe.

Comment JOURNAL and we’ll send you the link straight to your DMs.
Use code SHOP10 for 10% off.

You’ve got this.

Absolutely not!
The people who make a decision to go for a homebirth often do so with lots of knowledge and even if they do it cause it sounds nice, that’s no one elses business.

Homebirth is a beautiful choice for many, and that should be respected like all birth decisions ♥️

Antenatal education and hypnobirthing can help in making these choices ♥️

Birth happens in your nervous system as much as your body.

If your brain thinks you’re unsafe, fight or flight kicks in.
Birth can slow down.
Not because you’re failing, but because your body thinks it’s protecting you.

Your nervous system reacts to perceived danger too.
Bright lights. Being watched. Rushed decisions. Scary stories.

Feeling safe in birth isn’t a bonus.
It’s physiology.

This is entirely up to you. Students often give amazing care but it’s your prerogative and that’s what matters.
And honestly no, the majority of midwives totally get it.
Hypnobirthing and antenatal education really help with making these types of decisions in labour.

Just because someone makes a different choice in their pregnancy or birth doesn’t mean they’re attacking your decisions. We all have our own preferences and experiences, and that’s perfectly fine. If we treated every choice a friend made as a personal insult, we’d be friendless—like the bellend in the video.

Think of it like this: just because someone else wants pizza doesn’t mean they think you’re wrong for having the burger. They just prefer pizza. It’s not a reflection on you, it’s just what works best for them.

The amount of times we’ve been told that a friend has really lost it with them when they are simply stating their own preferences is crazy.

For us personally the amount of weird comments we both got from other parents when they found out we were starting our summer born children in school a year later was wild, as if we judged them for starting their kids when they did, we didn’t, we just did what was best for us, it’s really not that deep.

As hard as it may be, in the words of the great Ru Paul ‘if they ain’t paying your bills pay those bi***es no mind’

Hypnobirthing gets written off as woo.
It isn’t.

It’s neuroscience, psychology and physiology.
Understanding hormones, the mind body connection, and how birth actually works.

It’s not a replacement for midwives or doctors.
It works alongside them and makes a huge difference when you get it. When your birth partner knows their role. When you can advocate without panic.

It’s not about a “perfect” birth.
It’s about feeling informed, prepared and positive no matter how your birth unfolds.

That’s hypnobirthing.

Labour slowed down or feeling a bit stuck
The Miles Circuit is the first thing we recommend. Every time.
It helps baby wiggle into a better position and gives your body the space it needs to get things moving again.
You don’t have to do it perfectly and you don’t have to do all three steps in one go.
Just start.
And check the official Miles Circuit website if you want the full breakdown.
We love biomechanics for birth and it works brilliantly along hypnobirthing.

Maternity care is on its knees right now and this petition shows exactly why.

Midwives across the UK are being worked to the point of exhaustion. No legal right to rest. No protected breaks. No limits on how long they can be kept on shift while supporting people through some of the biggest moments of their lives.

If bus drivers get legal safeguards to stop them working tired, why are midwives expected to carry on with none?

This petition was created by Leah Hazard, a midwife of 12 years, who has seen the impact of exhaustion on staff and the people they care for. She’s calling for legal limits on working hours so midwives can work safely and sustainably, and so service users aren’t put at risk by a system that refuses to protect its own workforce.

It’s a simple, reasonable, long overdue ask. And it needs numbers behind it.

Comment PETITION for the link to sign. Let’s back the people who show up for us every single day.

What is Hypnobirthing

Giving birth is an incredible empowering experience. You’ve grown this whole new person from scratch and can’t wait to see their little face for the first time. But before that life changing moment you’ve got to give birth. You are not alone if this thought fills you with anxiety and thoughts of women laying on their backs screaming.... HOWEVER I’m here to tell you that doesn't have to be your reality. Through series of techniques aimed at dismantling your fear and showing you what a badass you really are, you can have a positive birth that you’ll harp on about for years.

And don’t worry, at no point am I going to align you’re chakkra or tell you your va**na is going to open up like a flower (because it won’t) I’m a science kind of women, so you’ll get fact, science and a sprinkling of girl power!

You’ve got this! And I can’t wait to tell you why!!!
