Informed #consent is a critical principle in healthcare. Only 35% of Australian women reported being asked for consent for fetal monitoring. This highlights a significant issue in #maternity care, and it is well past time it was addressed. birthsmalltalk.com/2024/12/04/fet… #EFM #CTG

Investing in a high-quality birth education programme is a much better use of your money than buying a fancy nappy bin!

Home fetal dopplers sold for personal use are deeply unethical. They prey on vulnerable parents, offering false reassurance or creating unnecessary panic. Without clinical training, they can do more harm than good. Ditch the doppler and focus on your baby’s movements.

The way we talk about #birth needs to change. First up - “failure to progress”. Let’s stop laying blame at women’s feet and recognise that every labour has its own unique rhythm.

Labour and birth only make up a few hours or days of our lives; postpartum is forever. When you’re researching birth education programmes, choose one that helps you prepare for BOTH. #practicalbirthpreparation #ComingSoon

Feeling anxious about birth? Two birth partners can make all the difference! From handling travel logistics to sharing the load & ensuring constant care, a strong birth team means more love, less stress & unwavering support when it matters most. #BirthSupport #BirthPartner

We need to stop coercing women with outdated and frankly dangerous hospital policies and guidelines. They’re not in place to protect women and babies. Phrases like “it’s our policy that…” does not reflect autonomy or individualised care.

Giving birth is nothing like pooping out a watermelon. The vagina is designed to expand (and return to size!), while the anus… isn’t. So, let’s retire this bizarre fruit analogy and give your amazing body the credit it deserves!

A positive birth experience is personal and unique. It’s about feeling informed, supported, and in control, no matter how your birth unfolds. In my classes, we explore what makes birth positive for you. Book today! #PositiveBirth #BirthEducation #BirthingChoices #BirthYourWay

We have an abundance of clinical research outlining the advantages of upright positions for labour and birth, so why are women still being encouraged to lie on the bed? It’s certainly NOT for women’s benefit.

Birth is just the beginning. We spend so much time getting ready for birth, but what about postpartum? It’s more than just healing & newborn care—it’s a huge emotional & mental shift. My classes go beyond the basics to help you navigate the highs & lows no one warns you about.

Did you know your uterus expands over 500 times its size during pregnancy? After birth, it gradually returns to its pre-pregnancy size, which takes around 6-8 weeks. Your body is incredible — trust the process and give yourself grace. #birth #postpartum”

Pregnancy comes with a lot of advice - some helpful, some overwhelming. For research-based info, look to experts like Rachel Reed & Sara Wickham, not just hospital policy. Trust yourself, explore the evidence, & make the choices that feel right for you. #Pregnancy #InformedChoice

Coached pushing (holding your breath & pushing as hard as you can) is still the norm in many hospitals, but it’s not best practice. Women’s bodies are hardwired to birth. We need to trust in women’s instincts rather than always acting as “experts” & taking over unnecessarily.

“Healthy mum, healthy baby” has been used to silence women for too long. Survival is just the baseline. #Birth should uplift you, not undo you. It’s time to change this outdated narrative. Women deserve better.
