Born to Birth Cornwall

14/01/2026

Chatting all things birth & baby with your non-pregnant friends can feel awkward. But other expectant parents? Well they’re here for it!

The stories, the questions, the what-if wonders: chances are they’re thinking it, feeling it & living it too. When you start talking, they’ll start talking and by the end of it everyone will feel far less alone.

… and if the last two and a half years of these pregnancy events have taught me anything, it’s that it's unlikely to end there. I can’t remember the last Bump Club I walked away from where people weren’t swapping numbers and creating whatsapp groups.

Sound good? We welcome all pregnant people at any stage of the journey, so whether you’re 2 weeks in or 2 weeks over, we’d love to meet you.

Bump Club is free to attend (just pay for your order), but booking is essential. To join us, grab your space here…

The Buttermarket, Redruth
Saturday 7th Feb at 10.30am

I'm not here to convince you to use Hypnobirthing, to have a homebirth, or to avoid induction, or to schedule a C-section. .

I'm here to give you the knowledge, confidence and tools to do labour, birth and postpartum your way.

On your terms.
To your priorities.
HOWEVER that looks for you.

Whether this is your first, your second or your tenth baby my mission is to help you prepare to meet them positively, no ifs or buts or policies.

Sound good? My first group antenatal course starts next week and only has one space left! Want it?

FYI, just turning up and 'doing' an antenatal class isn't going to get you the positive birth you want... there's more to it that than.

Sure, our sessions will give you the vital groundwork you need, but then it's up to you to build on everything you've learnt, discovered and realise to figure out how to do this your way. That's where the game-changing magic really happens.
.. which is why I'd be an idiot to let you tackle this without support (even though I'm not with you in person).

After all, that's what you've come to me for, right? Guidance? Support? The insider knowledge on Cornwall's birth and baby world that really makes a difference.

When you sign up to one of my antenatal courses, be it private or group, you get access to SO much more than the hours we're together in person...

- a carefully structured and easy-to-use bank of online resources
- relaxed and social spaces to build your parent community
- access to my doula brain (and support) for pregnancy, birth and postpartum
- a gateway into Cornwall's network of skilled birth & baby professionals

Why? Because I know just how much all of this makes a difference.
I see it working every single week, building the confidence, connections and capabilities of the families who trust me to help them prepare for birth.

And if you're investing time and money into this, you deserve nothing less.

Another night-feed scroll? Plan some TLC time for you and baby with a January session of 'The Nest'...

Twixtmas, trimesters, transition: the never-ending-ness needs to be savoured, not rushed.

It seems odd, doesn't it: this time of anticipation is building up to the main event. We want to get to New Years Eve, to that pregnancy announcement, the baby shower, the birth.

But to rush it is to skip the most important part.
The rest that allows you to reflect.
The reflection that allows you to accept.
The acceptance that allows you to sink into your reality.

And then find your next step, your strength and your conviction for what comes next.

That's the magic here.

So please, be you pregnant or postpartum or a fully-established parent (who FYI is still postpartum...): don't rush the stretches of time between the milestones. Relish the reality and the rest that they provide.

Happy Twixtmas, everyone.

🌟 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT🌟: In 2024, Lauren arrived at my door for a spot of antenatal; she stayed for the long-haul...

Put simply, I am not just here for a single session. My whole mission is to give people the support they need during their journey through pregnancy, for their birth and throughout their postpartum.

Lauren did just that.

From our three-session group antenatal course in 2024, to Whatsapp messages of support in her late pregnancy, to the announcement that her beautiful baby had arrived, helping her navigate her journey to meeting her beautiful baby girl, on her terms and to her priorities was the best.
.. and then she came back.

Arriving when her daughter was just a few weeks old, Lauren and her girl came to 'The Nest' virtually every week for the chance to take a breath, talk, make new friends (baby and adult) and to ask the questions that sat heavy on her mind.

Feeding. Sleep. Identity. Rants. Celebrations. Milestones. Fears.
We covered them all over endless cups of tea, hundreds of flapjacks and the odd brownie.

Now her little one is on the move, Lauren has graduated from 'The Nest' but not from my support. She knows where I am should she need me, my knowledge or the network of reliable professionals I can refer her family to.

In Lauren's words: "If you are having a baby, do not pass up the opportunity to make your birth and postpartum experience the most positive it can by speaking to Gemma...I can promise you won’t regret it!"
