What’s meant for you will never pass you by ✨

I’m not sure how to start this, or what to write if I’m honest.. but I suppose the biggest thing I want to say is THANK YOU.

I am so grateful for everybody that has supported me on this journey, but the biggest thanks of all is to my clients 🤍 I wouldn’t be here without you. All of my current clients will of course continue to be supported, as will any past client.. my love for you all is too big to let that slide. But otherwise, I will no longer be taking bookings ❌

There is change ahead for our family & with that, I’ve made the difficult decision not to continue teaching. Albeit hard, I’m learning to trust myself and truly believe that if it’s meant to be, it will find its way back to me when the time is right 🙏

Support & love always 🤍

3 things you won’t want to forget 👇🚗

Do you keep hearing that Labour slows down on your way into hospital? There’s good reason.

Your birthing body needs to feel safe. Any potential ‘threat’ that you’re exposed to in labour has the ability to slow down, or completely stop your progress.

I get it, a ‘threat’ sounds drastic.. but your unconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between what is real or not and therefore responds by protecting itself from any potential harm.

Your birthing body is vulnerable, it’s job is to protect and safely birth your baby.

Here’s three things that will help on your transition into hospital:

1. Headphones - block out any external noises / chatter 🤫

2. Eye Mask / Sunglasses - keeping your environment dark/dimly lit will help the production of Oxytocin. Oxytocin is going to keep those contractions going 💪 

3. Essential Oil - create an anchor for relaxation. Use essential oils during pregnancy when relaxing. This positive association will trigger relaxation during Labour. The more relaxed you are, the more your body relaxes, supporting the uterine muscles to birth your baby 👶

Feeling like a spare part? 🧩

If only every birth partner knew just how important they were. Women are at their most vulnerable in labour & their partner is the biggest source of comfort and confidence they could wish for 💪

Stop ✋ downplaying your part in this.

What if you believed it was possible?

Just think about that for a moment. What if instead of doubting your ability to birth your baby, you actually believed in yourself.

If you were planning any other life event, be that your wedding, a special birthday party.. you wouldn’t set out for it not to go how you wanted.

So pause. Start to think about what you want for your birth. Visualise every aspect in detail. Like other life events, you may not have experienced birth before.. but you can make your mind believe it has.

Your mind likes predictability, it wants to know what’s going to happen, it’s what makes you feel safe. Get it clear in your head and start to play your birth out in your head. In doing this, when labour starts, everything will feel familiar. In planning, you are setting yourself up for the birth you want.

Things to know about your ‘Estimated Due Date’👇

Picture this. You’ve found out you’re pregnant & you’re excited to find out when baby will arrive. You go onto Google and search for a ‘due date calculator’. When you go to your antenatal appointments / scans this date is talked of & sometimes changes.

The more you hear this date, the more expectation is placed on it. As the date nears closer, the anticipation & pressure builds. But why? What does it really mean?

Your ‘due date’ is calculated using Naegele’s rule. A rule that is not based on evidence. Things such as varying lengths of gestation & menstrual cycles aren’t taken into account. Pregnancy is typically viewed as lasting between 37 & 42 weeks and with only 4-5% of babies arriving on their ‘due date’ it’s important to understand what all of this means for your care.

You have the right to make decisions about your care. Often nearing or going past your ‘due date’ comes with the offer of interventions to encourage the start of labour. Know your options & make the decision that is right for you & your baby.

Don’t forget to ask about the Benefits, Risks and Alternatives about any suggested intervention 🙏✨

Support always, Nicole x
