🔥 We are now offering Sneak Peek early gender testing, in your home, as early at 6 weeks gestation!

Sneak Peek clinical is proven 99.9% accurate as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy!
There is also a money back accuracy guarantee. If your Sneak Peek results are proven wrong at birth, you will be refunded the cost of the test!

Results are typically available in 24-48 hours of testing and can be sent to someone else of your choice, if you are planning a gender reveal.

The cost is $199 for testing performed in your home, within a 50 mile radius of the 44203 zip code. If you are beyond this radius, an appointment may still be possible at an additional charge.
Contact us for mileage fee information if you are beyond a 50 mile radius and would like an appointment in your home.

Birthing the placenta is a joint effort between mother and baby. Disrupting physiology by distracting mother/baby or removing baby from mother = active management of the placenta may be a better option.

“It seems that in our twenty-first century modern world, many women have become estranged from their primal brain and the knowledge that lies within it. Women too often hand their power over to the medical world long before they enter labour and have the idea someone else will do it for them.”

In the 1930's Caldwell-Moloy classified the female pelvis into four types – gynaecoid, anthropoid, platypelloid and android. This nonsense is still taught to care providers and parents. More recently a study by Kuliukas et al. (2015) analysed 64 women's pelvises. They concluded that '…there was no obvious clustering into the four distinct types of pelvis (gynaecoid, anthropoid, android and platypelloid) in the Caldwell-Moloy classification, but rather an amorphous, cloudy continuum of shape variation.'
It is time to stop categorising and defining women's bodies according to incorrect culture-based ideas.
REF: Kuliuka et al. (2015) Female pelvis shape: distinct types of nebulous cloud? British Journal of Midwifery, vol 23, no. 7, pp. 490-496. (thanks Dr Sara Wickham for helping me track down this article)

How’s our conception journey going?

We answer that question in today’s podcast episode. It’s been about 13 months since we actively began “trying” to get pregnant. There have been ups and downs. We first opened up on this topic on the podcast back in September 2020 with part 1, then followed up with a part 2 in February 2021. Now here we are in May 2021 with some new experiences and insights.

From how we feel about medical interventions, to changes in our bodies. Plus how you can learn from a breakdown, while in the middle of it. 

Then we share how we’ll be moving forward and how our intimacy has been impacted by everything.

If you haven’t listened to part 1 and 2, we definitely recommend doing so (links to both of those episodes are in the show notes for this episode).

Listen to Doing It At Home wherever you get your podcasts ❤️

Medical textbooks are full of anatomical pictures of the p***s, but the cl****is barely rates a mention. Many medical professionals are uncomfortable even talking about it

Family centred birth ✨

This incredible mama worked so hard to bring her second babe into this world.
Every time her beautiful midwife would say “you’ve got this mama” her sweet little boy would repeat “you’ve got this mama”

🏡 Thinking about home birth?

It’s my preferred place for clients who are low risk and healthy!♥️

It’s private and intimate and you can decide who is present (or not). Some of the advantages of giving birth at home are :

☑️ being in familiar surroundings where you feel more relaxed and can progress.

☑️ you don't have to interrupt your labor to go to the hospital 🏥

☑️ You will not need to leave your other children, if you have any.

☑️ you will not have to be separated from your partner after the birth

☑️ you are cared for after birth by the midwife you have gotten to know during your pregnancy

☑️ you are less likely to have intervention such as forceps or ventouse than women giving birth in hospital.

☑️ You can have a Waterbirth 💦
