You’re in the hospital.
You’re told it’s time to push.
But your body is quiet. There’s no urge.

“Lie on your back.”
“Push now.”

And suddenly, you’re expected to perform, even when your body isn’t ready. This is where antenatal preparation (Lamaze childbirth prep) makes all the difference.

When you understand how pushing works, you know it’s not something to force on command. The urge to push is your body’s reflex and when you follow it, birth is often more effective and less overwhelming.

You also learn that you don’t have to be on your back just because you’re told to. Other positions, like squatting, side-lying, hands and knees, can feel more natural, more comfortable, and more in sync with your body.

In this clip from our conversation with Shezzi, we explore this exact scenario: when instructions don’t match what your body is telling you. How do you respond in that moment?

Preparation gives you more than just information. I t gives you the confidence to pause and say:
“I don’t feel the urge yet.”
“Can I try a different position?”

It helps you ask your careprovider how they approach pushing, what positions they support, and whether they follow your body’s cues... before you’re in the middle of labor. Because advocacy doesn’t begin in the labour room. It begins with understanding your body, your options, and your care.

If you want to walk into birth feeling informed, confident, and able to trust yourself, our Lamaze class starting on the 4th is a good place to begin. DM us to join.

Every year, we share our birth statistics because we truly believe families deserve transparency. When you’re choosing where and how to give birth, clear and honest information matters.

For us, these numbers are never “just data.” They represent the women, babies, and families who trusted us during one of the most important moments of their lives — and that trust means everything to us.

Publishing our statistics is also about something bigger. It helps show what respectful, evidence-based, autonomous midwifery with collaborative care can look like in real life, and why it matters.

Research from around the world consistently shows that when families receive good continuity of midwifery care, outcomes improve in so many meaningful ways — better Apgar scores, lower rates of postpartum haemorrhage, fewer NICU admissions, stronger breastfeeding rates, and even lower rates of postpartum depression.

When care truly holds mothers at the centre, it doesn’t just improve outcomes on paper. It helps women feel safe, respected, and confident in their own bodies, leading to more positive birth experiences, and thrival of the MotherBabyFamily as a whole unit! 💛✨

Somewhere along the way, birth became something to “perform.”

😕 Will I dilate fast enough?
😕 Will I push correctly?
😕 Will my body cooperate?

And when things don’t go as expected…it can feel like you failed. Even when you did everything you could.

But birth is not a performance. It’s a physiological process. Your body is not being judged. It is adapting, moment by moment.

Repeat after me:
🌟 Slow labor is not failure.
🌟 Pain relief is not failure.
🌟 Interventions are not failure.
🌟 Changing your mind is not failure.
🌟 Needing support is not failure.
🌟 Not following a timeline is not failure.
🌟 Not having the birth you planned is not failure.
🌟 Listening to your body is not failure.
🌟 Doing what feels right for you is not failure.

The only thing that matters is this: You and your baby, safe and supported.

Diapers don’t just absorb p*e.
They can also dull awareness.

Babies are born sensing elimination — but when that signal is repeatedly muted, the brain adapts.

That’s where EC comes in — helping your baby stay connected to their body.

And no, this isn’t about ditching diapers completely.

It’s about not relying on them full-time, while you rely on EC to go diaper free with time!

Can you imagine a baby just a few days old communicating their needs!?? Amazing, isn't it?

Our EC mamma and pediatrician, Dr Manasa Pola, shares her EC experience. It is always wonderful to see our mammas be able to put what they have learnt into effect and it is extra special when one of them is a child specialist! This goes to show how smart babies really are, and all we need to do is respond to their needs.

Interested in exploring EC? Join our upcoming class happening this Sunday, 29 March.

When the bag of waters breaks, the clock starts—but not in the way most people think.

Labour often begins on its own:
• By 24 hours: ~75%
• By 48 hours: ~85%
• By 72 hours: ~95%
• By 96 hours: ~almost all

So yes, labour does start. But the timing—and how active it is—can vary.

What’s important to understand:
✨ The risk doesn’t suddenly spike at 24 hours—it rises gradually
✨ Risk is not a single number—it depends on multiple factors like vaginal exams, hygiene, and duration of labour
✨ There’s a difference between absolute risk and relative risk

Here’s the perspective:
• Before 24 hours:
– Maternal infection: ~1–2%
– Neonatal infection: ~0.5–1%

• After 24 hours:
– Maternal infection: ~5–10%
– Neonatal infection: ~1–3%

So while the risk increases, the absolute risk remains small.

This is where the approach matters:
👉 Watchful waiting vs fearful waiting
👉 Counselling for safety vs only highlighting risks

With proper monitoring—maternal temperature, baby’s movements, heart rate, and the colour/odour of fluid—many pregnancies can be safely observed while waiting for labour to begin.

The goal isn’t to delay or rush.
It’s to make informed, evidence-based decisions—for both mother and baby.
