To the Highland Mama reading these stats & feeling that little knot of worry in your stomach… please know this — numbers do not define your birth. 🤍✨

Every story is unique. Every Mama deserves to feel calm, confident & supported as she meets her baby. 👶🏼✨🌿

Yes, the stats can feel overwhelming, but you are not just a statistic. With the right preparation — knowledge, relaxation tools & supportive birth partners — you can step into birth feeling ready, no matter how your journey unfolds. ✨

You’ve got this Mama. Your body, your baby, your birth 🤍

Do you know your local maternity stats? 🗺️ 👶🏼✨

Here in the Highlands, between April & June 2025:
✨ Vaginal birth – 47.6%
✨ Caesarean birth – 52.4%

Compare this to Scotland-wide figures from around 2015:
✨ Vaginal birth – ~70%
✨ Caesarean birth – ~30%

That’s a near 20% increase in caesareans in just 10 years.

So the big question is… what has changed?
Why are we seeing more surgical births than vaginal births here in the Highlands?

Understanding your local stats matters. It helps you ask informed questions, see what options are available & feel confident when navigating the maternity system.

🤍 What are your thoughts, Mama? Did these numbers surprise you?

Mama, birth is not something you have to just get through.
It’s a day you can actually feel calm, confident & even excited about 🤍

If you’ve been told birth is scary, painful, or something to “survive” – I want you to know there is another way. With the right preparation, tools & support, you can walk into labour feeling ready, not fearful.

That’s exactly why I teach Hypnobirthing. My Group Course gives you & your birth partner everything you need to prepare for a positive birth experience – however your story unfolds.

When I was pregnant, I realised something important… I needed to prepare my mind just as much as my body.

I wasn’t sick or unwell, but mentally I felt the toll of all the information, decisions & overwhelm that come with pregnancy. What helped? Approaching birth like an athlete. 🏃‍♀️🤍

✨ Athletes train their bodies and their minds
✨ Stress can slow things down, relaxation helps things flow
✨ Breath, visualisation & mindset are just as powerful as physical stamina

Once I started using these tools, I felt calmer, more confident & in control about birth. That’s why I now teach Hypnobirthing – because preparing both your body & your mind really does change everything.
