25.01.2022 I have some exciting news to share! This past week I have received my Medicare Provider number which means women can now receive a Medicare rebate when receiving pregnancy support counselling through Connected Journey Yay! Stay tuned for information about this service in the coming weeks.

24.01.2022 Check out this podcast about Sarah’s journey to homebirth with gestational diabetes. I was so privileged to be a part of this journey as Sarah’s doula

24.01.2022 I am noticing a big shift in the number of routine ultrasounds offered to women over recent years, particularly in the third trimester. A new study has been recently released which may interest you.

23.01.2022 Great reason to hire a doula!

23.01.2022 Twin homebirth story and photo-series

23.01.2022 Some mainstream media attention

21.01.2022 Looking forward to this amazing conference again

21.01.2022 I haven’t read this article for a few years now but want to share as I commonly hear women on social media etc about going with the flow in birth.

20.01.2022 Happy New Year! What a challenging year 2020 has been. Looking forward to moving in to 2021, stay tuned for some new offerings

19.01.2022 ‘A history of multiple cesarean births is not associated with an increased rate of uterine rupture in women attempting vaginal birth compared with those with a ...single prior caesarean’, from the 2006 research article by Landon et al called ‘risk of uterine rupture with a trial of Labor in women with multiple and single prior caesarean delivery’. Landon found that uterine rupture occurred for 9 out of 975 (0.9%) women who had multiple previous cesareans and 115 out of 16 915 (0.7%) women who had one prior cesarean birth. So whether you’ve experienced one or more prior births by cesarean, your chances of uterine rupture while attempting a VBAC is less than 1%. Landon et al concluded that ‘maternal morbidity is increased with trial of labour after multiple cesareans, compared with elective repeat cesareans, but the absolute risk for complications is small’. Landon et al were also able to report the success rates of VBAC in a hospital setting and found that women with a single prior cesarean had a success rate of 74%, 67% success rate if they had two prior cesareans, 63% for three prior and 55% for four prior cesarean births. Risk factors for uterine rupture identified in this study were oxytocin augmentation, induction of labour, epidural and less than a 2 year interval from previous cesarean. Both prior vaginal birth and prior successful VBAC were associated with lower risk for this complication... Landon et al conclude by stating, ‘vaginal birth after multiple cesarean deliveries (births) should remain an option for eligible women’. #vbac #vbacsuccess #vbacwithoutfear #vba2c #vba3c #hbac #nextbirthafterceasarean #transformativebirthwork

18.01.2022 I am a survivor of Hyperemesis Gravidarum along with my two sisters. It is a relatively unknown pregnancy condition and I am so pleased to see this documentary highlighting the struggles and barriers women face with this condition. Good news that two genes have been identified and with some promising research, may eventually lead to a treatment. This short documentary is free for the next 6 days and well worth a watch.

17.01.2022 Locally hospitals are denying women the right to have the support of the Doula, but not all hospitals are taking this position. Good to see mainstream media reporting the impact of this decision by hospital administration.

16.01.2022 Could the AMA spokesperson be more offensive in this article! Seriously, the AMA really needs to accept that women have the intelligence to make informed decisions about their care, place of birth and their own bodies. Social media is really good if you want to find out the latest trends for applying eye makeup, or what Kim Kardashian wore to the latest award ceremony," he said. But when it comes to detailed scientific and medical information, it's complicated.

16.01.2022 Happy International Midwives Day

14.01.2022 We are getting some traction! If you are in Victoria then please sign this petition so women can have the support of their Doula during their birth.

12.01.2022 Homebirth during Covid-19

11.01.2022 Doulas are an important part of a women’s professional team and hospitals need to recognise this. We should not be blocked by hospitals, women deserve the right to be supported.

11.01.2022 Ground breaking discovery? Ummm, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about this research. Pity the scientists didn’t have a quiet chat to homebirth midwives these past few generations who have been practicing this for such a long time.

07.01.2022 40+10 weeks is the magic number for induction in majority of hospitals in Australia. Check out this new study for information about outcomes of women who wait till 42 weeks.

06.01.2022 What a great photo - got to love a big juicy cord

06.01.2022 Well this looks amazing

06.01.2022 If you are looking for childbirth education that explores more than just physiology, that offers the opportunity to go deep then this group is perfect for you. My beautiful sister Cristy has spaces available, starts this weekend. Held in her new studio in Churchill, it is only a short drive out of Melbourne. Xx

05.01.2022 Happy World Doula Week! Our annual Doula Conference has adapted and moved online in response to Covid-19. Although we couldn’t gather together in person, I have had the great privilege of weaving the threads together with the other doulas on the Conference Committee and birthed an amazing online Conference

05.01.2022 How interesting is this?

03.01.2022 The Business of Being Born and More Business of Being Born is currently streaming for FREE! If you haven’t watched it, then now is your chance.

01.01.2022 We are excited to be moving the Doula Conference 2020 online, if you couldn’t make it in-person this year then it is a great opportunity to join this exciting Conference from the comfort of your home, wherever you are in the world

01.01.2022 I applaud the Australian College of Midwives swift and clear response to RANZCOGs blanket ban on waterbirth and use of showers during labour and birth. There have been hospitals in Melbourne who have banned waterbirth for months now, it is not ok.
