This gets said a lot. It’s not that simple.

If I wasn’t afraid to hurt your feelings, I’d tell you this:
“big baby” on ultrasound is not a diagnosis.

Estimated fetal weight is exactly that — an estimate.
RANZCOG states prenatal prediction of birthweight is imprecise, with variability up to 20%.

And when we look at the evidence:
Induction for suspected macrosomia
does not clearly reduce caesarean birth
and does not clearly reduce serious injury.

It may reduce some risks —
but it also relies on a prediction
that isn’t always accurate.

So the conversation shouldn’t be:
👉 “baby looks big, therefore induction”

It should be:
👉 what do we actually know?
👉 what are the risks, benefits, and alternatives?
👉 what matters to you?

That’s informed choice. Not fear.

Were you ever told your baby was ‘measuring big’? What did you decide?

✨ Bookings Update ✨

Thank you so much for the ongoing support, referrals, and trust in my care — it never goes unnoticed.

Due to a very full calendar, I am now fully booked until March 2027 and will not be taking on any new clients during this time.

This period will allow me to take some planned time with my family over summer, alongside continuing care for those already booked.

I appreciate your understanding. For those currently looking for a midwife, I recommend reaching out to the other amazing midwives who may have availability 🫶🏼

Ngā mihi,
Renee

Tiny humans, big privilege. Feeling pretty lucky to do what I love every day… even when it gets turned into a cartoon version of me 😂💚

🎄✨ Merry Christmas ✨🎄
To all the incredible wāhine, pēpi, partners and whānau I’ve had the privilege of supporting this year — thank you for trusting me with such a special chapter of your lives.
Birth is powerful. Families are magic. And I’m endlessly grateful to walk alongside you.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with rest, love, cuddles and a little bit of calm 💕

✨ Did you know? Even if you transfer to hospital, outcomes are often better when your birth was planned as a homebirth. 💕

Planned homebirths are linked with lower intervention rates, higher chances of spontaneous vaginal birth, and more positive birth experiences — especially when supported by a skilled midwife and clear transfer pathways.

It’s all about preparation, teamwork, and trusting the process. 🌸

Pregnancy and birth can feel overwhelming at times, but remember — you were made for this. With the right support, knowledge, and care, you can feel confident in your journey.

✨ You’ve got this, māmā ✨

🩷 Experience Birth Differently: Helensville & Home Birthing 🩷

When you choose a primary birthing centre—or even your own home—you’re choosing more than a place. You’re choosing care that honours you. Here’s what research shows about the benefits, especially for women with low-risk pregnancies:

— Greater sense of safety, calm & control in the environment you know & trust. Studies show labour progresses better when mums feel safe.
— Lower intervention rates: fewer caesareans, fewer assisted births, fewer routine interventions.
— Better maternal outcomes: less postpartum haemorrhage, fewer severe perineal tears.
— Better neonatal outcomes: higher Apgar scores, fewer transfers to NICU when births are planned in primary units or at home.
— More satisfaction: women report feeling more seen, more heard, more in control of the birth journey.

Choosing Helensville or your home means you get continuity of care with your midwife, in the places that feel like you. More comfort, more ownership.

If you’re low risk and want a birth full of connection, respect & real choices—let’s talk about your options. Because birthing should feel amazing, safe, and powerful.

✨ A Special Catch-Up ✨

It was such a joy to catch up with Miss Zoe and her lovely whānau at Milk Café here at HBC today. Moments like these – seeing the little ones growing and thriving – are such a treasured part of being a midwife. 💛

🌏 World Breastfeeding Week 🌏
This week, we honour every māmā and every journey.

To those who are breastfeeding, who have breastfed, who tried their very best, and to those who longed to — you are seen, respected, and celebrated 💛

Breastfeeding can be beautiful, messy, emotional, empowering — and every experience is valid. Whether it lasted moments, months, or years — your efforts matter.

Let’s keep lifting each other up with compassion, connection, and good kai 🤍

Did you know your thyroid needs iron to function?
No iron = no T3 conversion = sluggish metabolism, fatigue, low mood, irregular periods.
🩸 It’s not just about feeling tired—it’s about hormonal balance too.

✨ Midwife tip: Get your ferritin tested, not just haemoglobin.
✨ Ideal for hormone health? Ferritin above 50 is a great start.
✨ Start working on ferritin stores before pregnancy and from conception (not just the third trimester!)
✨ Nourish with iron-rich foods, and pair with vitamin C for max absorption 🍊🍓
