We often put playlists together for birth, but are you underestimating the power of the playlist? Take a look at what the research says about how music during labour can really help with more than just feeling relaxed!

What’s your favourite song? Will you be listening to it during labour?

Here’s what I had on MY playlist:

💜 Jason Mraz - Im Yours
💜 Corrine Bailey Rae - Just like a star
💜 The Muppets - Rainbow Connection
💜 Birdy - Skinny Love
💜 The Script - The man who can’t be moved (our first dance at our wedding!)
💜 Ludovico Einaudi

Yup you read that right… an obstetrician told a client baby would run out of room if she stayed pregnant.

I wonder if people carrying twins or triplets just genetically have more roomy uteruses to be able to grow multiple babies to term then…?

The “reasons” for induction are numerous and dubious often! Check out my induction quick guide for the facts and evidence. Available via the link in my bio! Or come join next month's group online 4 week hypnobirthing and antenatal course. Details on my website www.better-birth.co.uk!

It’s almost impossible to not be offered an induction! Over 35 years old? Higher BMI? Not white? Perhaps you’ve been told baby is measuring too big? Or too small? IVF pregnancy? Or do you have gestational diabetes? Maybe it’s literally just because you’ve stayed pregnant “too long”! So how do you know if induction is right for you?

3 out of 4 people induced aren't given enough information to prepare them for induction, and 65% of people are not given sufficient information to decide whether to agree to an induction. And many more don’t realise it’s not compulsory! So get clued up and make the decisions you feel are best for you and your baby by downloading your copy of my induction of labour quick guide! Providing evidence based information on the situations induction may be offered, the methods available, and the risks and benefits!

Home birth services unavailable or MLU closed? A concerning number of Trusts and hospitals are still suspending home birth services or closing their midwife-led units due to staffing shortages. For women and birthing people, this is a breach of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights which includes the right to choose where you give birth and who is present.

The impact of restrictions on choice is forcing families to birth in places they do not wish to, triggering distress, PTSD and anxiety in some cases, or forcing people to freebirth unassisted.

With home birth being under attack once again in the news, it’s more important than ever to have the actual FACTS! A 2025 retrospective review once again confirmed that home birth has many many benefits! If you are on the fence about a home birth, or simply curious, download my Mythbusting Homebirth Quick Guide, available on Etsy. It summarises the research, reasons for transfer and the benefits of birthing at home. It’s an essential read for anyone considering birthing at home! https://betterbirthuk.etsy.com/listing/1453220932

Google “Insights from a publicly funded homebirth program - Sidery et Al 2025” to find the paper!
