24.01.2022 The new birth space at Wollongong Public Hospital. Due to open on Tuesday

23.01.2022 A baby born after miscarriage, or the loss of a baby is referred as a rainbow baby. Today we remember all these sleeping babies, those we carried but never met, those we held but couldn't bring them home, those who came home but didn't stay .... ... Make this status if you or someone you know has suffered from losing a baby. Majority won't, because miscarriages, stillborn babies, and home dead babies are still a taboo topic. BREAKING THE SILENCE. In the sweet memory of all these angels too perfect for this earth. Hold your finger on the screen, copy and paste

23.01.2022 b i r t h c o u r a g e Do you think you know what your body is truely capable of? You don’t. Noone knows what they are capable of until you are pushed to your absolute limit and succeed at something never thought you could possibly do. ... #withknowledgecomesconfidence #knowledgeispower #strongwomen #stronginmindandbbody #strongmind #mindovermatter #positivebirthmovement #birth #pregnancy #labour #positivebirthexperience #calmbirthwithlyndal #empowering #embracebirth #creatingpositivebirth #changingbirthoutcomes #birthwithconfidence #birthwithoutfear #theresnobirthlikeacalmbirth #yourbirthisyourbirth #consciousparenting #childbirth education #registeredmidwife #haveyourbestbirth #trust #surrender #innerwisdom #innerpower #innerstrength See more

22.01.2022 Isn’t birth just incredible!

21.01.2022 v a g i n a l e x a m i n a t i o n Did you have one? Did you need one? Did you want one? ... While vaginal examinations are regularly used during labour to assess progress, they require your consent and you can say no! In labour you will most likely be offered a vaginal examination every 4 hours. Remember it’s an offer and you don’t have to accept it, you can say no! A vaginal examination is attended by a midwife or doctor inserting 2 fingers into the vagina and reaching back to the cervix to assess dilatation, effacement, position, decent of the baby and consistency of the cervix. For some women this could be traumatic and you can say no! A lot of people find them helpful and are happy to know their progression through dilatation but if that’s not you you can decline a vaginal examination, you can say no! #bethechange #culturalchange #strongwomen #stronginmindandbody #withknowledgecomesconfidence #strongmind #mindfulness #positivebirthmovement #naturalchildbirth #birth #pregnancy #labour #positivebirthexperience #empowering #embracebirth #naturalbirth #becomingparents #creatingpositivebirth #birthwithconfidence #birthwithfearlessness #toolboxforbirth #theresnobirthlikeacalmbirth #yourbirthisyourbirth #childbirtheducation #registeredmidwife #haveyourbestbirth #innerwisdom #innerpower #innerstrength See more

16.01.2022 v e r n i x That white cream substance that covers your baby in utero, it is called vernix. This decreases as a baby approaches their due date. It’s a moisturiser and protective barrier so they aren’t all wrinkly like my kids when they get out of a bath. After all they are swimming in fluid for about 42 weeks. #withknowledgecomesconfidence #strongwomen #stronginmindandbbody #strongmind #mindovermatter #mindfulness #positivebirthmovement #naturalchildbirth #birth... #pregnancy #labour #positivebirthexperience #calmbirthwithlyndal #empowering #embracebirth #connectingpartners #becomingparents #leadersinculturalchange #creatingpositivebirth #changingbirthoutcomes #birthwithconfidence #birthwithoutfear #toolboxforbirth #theresnobirthlikeacalmbirth #yourbirthisyourbirth #lettherebelove #itmustbelove #childbirtheducation #registeredmidwife #haveyourbestbirth See more

15.01.2022 b i r t h s t o r y Let’s kick off 2021 with a beautiful and empowering @calmbirth story from @karinafrangos and her loving partner Josh. Here is how Xander’s birth unfolded. In November 2020, we welcomed our baby boy Xander George Frangos into the world with a beautiful, unassisted calm birth.... Josh and I are so thankful for Calmbirth! Learning how the body physically works during labour and birth and how to work with our body using techniques we learnt made all the difference. I had premature rupture of membranes and was given 24 hours before having to return to hospital and be placed on a drip if labour had not progressed. I trusted my body to do what it needed to do and kept the house dark and relaxed with Josh watching movies during the day and evening. Early Saturday morning I began experiencing period like cramps that progressed into the morning. I was lucky enough to be under the care of an amazing midwife who understood exactly what birth we were after and allowed us to come into hospital later that morning (rather than 7am when we were meant too). This allowed me to labour in the comfort of my own home and utilise the techniques we learnt at Calmbirth. We got to hospital to find out I was 7cm dilated and was told I was presenting symptoms of someone who is 2cm dilated (I thank visualisation for this!). Josh knew exactly when I needed his support and when I needed to be left alone. Josh and my midwife helped guide my breath when I was struggling and wanting to push (I could actually feel the baby’s head moving down!). With a 2nd stage labour of 2 hours and 12 minutes we welcomed Xander into the world. I am so happy to be able to report a positive birth story. The thing that stuck with me through my whole labour was to surrender and trust my body to do what it needs to do. It was honestly the most magical experience and I can’t thank Lyndal and Calmbirth enough.

15.01.2022 b i r t h p h o t o g r a p h y It’s about time I give these birth photographers some more exposure than just a tag. Not only are they amazing at what they do, the hours they work can be ridiculous. ... This is something I wish I gave more thought to before giving birth. It’s not necessarily for everyone but now all I have are the memories and the amateur iphone snaps my husband or midwife took. My three births were, without a doubt, the three most powerful experiences of my life and although my memories are with me forever sometimes I wish I had something more. Are you torn between maintaining your safe space and having the memories of this incredible experience to last a lifetime? All of the birth photographers I have met are professional, discreet, respectful and the outcome is nothing short of amazing. Its not everyones cup of tea but worth more than a fleeting thought. @mjfbirthphotography @ashleighjanebirthphotography @exist_images @scribbly.gum.photography @katekennedybirthphotography @nina.photography_ @hannahillphotography #bethechange #culturalchange #strongwomen #stronginmindandbbody #strongmind #mindovermatter #positivebirthmovement #naturalchildbirth #birth #pregnancy #labour #positivebirthexperience #calmbirthwithlyndal #empowering #creatingpositivebirth #changingbirthoutcomes #birthwithconfidence #birthwithoutfear #toolboxforbirth #theresnobirthlikeacalmbirth #yourbirthisyourbirth #consciousparenting #childbirth #education #registeredmidwife #haveyourbestbirth #trust #surrender #innerwisdom #innerpower #innerstrength

14.01.2022 r h o m b i s o f m i c h a e l i s Just another sign your body knows exactly what it’s doing. When you see this insane lower back bulge you know the female body, the pelvis, is working perfectly as it was designed to do so. This bump indicates the pelvis is opening up, exactly as it is meant to, creating up to 30% more space for this baby to pass through. ...

13.01.2022 h o l d o n Hold them near, enjoy the moment and let them spread their wings. ... I love my children dearly. Part of that love is knowing when to hold & protect and knowing when to let them grow through experience.

12.01.2022 c a l m b i r t h s t o r y Congratulations to the amazing @remonaflowers and @deadbeat___ on welcoming baby Jude into this world. I just love a positive birth story. Read below ... All the tools you gave us were so helpful, I started having irregular contractions from the morning prior, they were 10 mins then 18 then 5 apart so we knew it was all the pre labour parts happening but in that time we tried to keep the house nice and dark and calm and I was using the counting through every contraction. Shan took that time to stress clean the whole house and get all the bags and everything else ready. That night around midnight it all kicked in, started having regular contractions every 4 mins I switched to the working breath then because the contrations were alot more intense. I ended up in the bath with essential oils and candles which put me in a awesome headspace for a few hours before we headed to the hospital around 4.30am, when I knew I had had enough of being at home! I was 6cm dialated when we got there, and just used my breath to focus through the rest of the contractions. Shan put my breathing back on track if I started to lose my cool, and he used the pressure points and the robozo to try help me with my lower back pain. He was an awesome support and said he felt alot more prepared and useful knowing what he learnt from the course. We ended up having a baby boy named Jude at 9.51am that morning with no pain relief at all and I am pretty proud of how we worked together at a team with everything you taught us through Calmbirth! Definitely helped us both with Shan feeling like he had jobs to help and knowing what was happening throughout the stages and kept me in a great headspace! See more
