Pregnant women — your good girl conditioning is NOT going to help you in birth 👇

All that people-pleasing? All that "I don't want to be a bother"? All that staying quiet so no one thinks you've notions?

It won't serve you in the labour room.

Birth requires you to advocate for yourself, ask hard questions, and sometimes say no to other people and yes to yourself.

Start practicing now — in small ways — so it feels natural and safe when it matters most.

Comment VOICE below and I'll send you a free audio + journaling prompts to help.

Pregnant women you can learn ALL the things but if you can't connect to your own power, your wisdom and intuition then the knowledge won’t help you.

This is what I often see is missing from birth education and why I created my Birth Empress Course.

If you can connect into your own inner Empress then you will be unstoppable.

This is what I teach in my Birth Empress Online Course. Available to access immediately at the link in my bio. If you want to know more comment EMPRESS below and I will send you the details.

Augmentation is the practice where hospitals put you on an artificial oxytocin drip called syntocinon/pictocin when they feel labour is too slow or you are “failing to progress”.

The World Health Organisation recommends that labour only be augmented if you are dilated >5cm because research shows that augmenting before 5cm dilation increases risk of
• vacuum/forceps birth
• cesarean section
• and epidural use.

For women who were between 0 and 4cm dilated they found an increased risk of fetal scalp monitoring and suspected fetal hypoxia in other words a serious risk of oxygen deprivation to your baby.

Use your B.R.A.I.N analysis to decide what interventions you want to refuse in labour and put them in your birth plan.

I know that a big fear 😨 for most first time mums is how they are going to cope with their contractions or surges.

And I am not saying that your labour is going to be 😒 pain free but knowing this information about your contractions can make it easier to manage.

ESPECIALLY when you are in the middle of one.

If you can, visualise it as 🌊wave with a peak.
Know the peak is going to be short lived usually around 10 seconds.
And then you are going back down the other side of the wave so the feeling is less intense.

It does make it easier I promise you.

Pregnant women – you need to know these👇

Newborns have no tears until about 3 weeks as their tear ducts don't fully form then. Unfortunately they still howl just without the waterworks.

And when they do howl it's in your accent!

Babies can hear from about 4 months in the womb. So if you play the same music you played when pregnant to your newborn it might help calm them down as they will recognize it.

They don't have kneecaps but have a structure made from cartilage. They don't develop full bony kneecaps until they are older.

In rare cases babies are born with teeth! Can you imagine??

Research has found that you are more likely to have a 3rd or 4th degree injury with an episiotomy than with a natural tear.

Research also shows that
• if you allow the body to tear naturally it will heal faster than episiotomy scars
• natural tears are at less risk of infection and blood loss compared to an episiotomy.

Use your B.R.A.I.N analysis to decide what interventions you want to refuse in labour and put them in your birth plan.

Honestly I am so over the way other people feel entitled to opinions on women’s choices.

It is always your body, your baby and your choice.

Protect your peace during your pregnancy and refuse to discuss your birth plan with anyone who is not going to be in the labour room with you. It is nobody else’s business.
