25.01.2022 If you haven't already, check out the Positive Birth Australia podcast for a collection of positive birth stories (now including mine)! An excellent idea if you are planning your own positive birth

25.01.2022 I'm so big. . There's no more room in there. . I'm so sore.... . I can't wait any longer. . Is this baby ever going to come out? . I can't move. . I can't sleep. . I just want this baby out. . But, soft cheese. . I'm so ready. . . . How many weeks were you when these thoughts started creeping in? . . . Sometimes, these thoughts lead us to booking a medical induction or at least trying natural induction methods. . . . This is a gentle reminder that birth by induction is very different to spontaneously going into labour. . . . Babies are born when they are ready and when our bodies are ready. . . . LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS Have you been induced? . What did you like/dislike about the experience? . What natural methods of induction did you try? . . . #birthstorytime #inductionbirth #birthbyinduction #saferoutthanin #inductionmatters #thirdtrimester #4weekstogo #20weekstogo #readytopop #10weekstogo #hellothirdtrimester #readywhenyouare #naturalinduction #inductionacupuncture #inductionscheduled #12weekstogo #30weeks #32weeks #34weeks #notlongnow #knowtherisksandbenefits #maternityaustralia #pregnantmum #pregnantmumsaustralia #pregnantandperfect #instapregnancy #pregnancyjournal #pregnancydiary See more

25.01.2022 ' ! The voice in my head tells me I can't, I won't, I'm too scared. It asks me "what if?", and "how on Earth would you do that?".... I run through the worst case scenarios. My heart races, I sweat, I feel the walls closing in. But then, I remember. . Long. Slow. Deep. The other voice enters my mind. "But what if you can?" "You can do this" " " #positivepsychology #liveyourbestlife #meditatedaily #takecareofyourself #experiencelife #positivequoteseveryday #makethechangetopositivethinking See more

21.01.2022 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

20.01.2022 All those images of beautiful spaces filled with fairy lights, positive affirmations and loving energy, aren't just for show. :... = increased melatonin which will help with your surges = increased oxytocin which helps with your surges too. = Less fear and more security means you are more likely to allow your body and mind to surrender to birth. My dream birth space would include an inflatable birth pool, lots of lush indoor plants, my @younglivingaunz diffuser with lavender and frankincense, ALL the fairy lights, positive affirmations, and of course, @Hypnobirthingaustralia tracks playing. What does your dream birth space look like? Let me know in the comments If in doubt, remember, what helps baby get in, helps baby come out Describe your dream romantic night in #instagramunmuted #fairylights #oily #dreamspace #relaxedbirth #waterbirthdreams #romanticnightsin #candlelight

19.01.2022 When can I come see the baby? A question new moms might hear over and over. At least at first. ... Sometimes before she has left the hospital. Before she has had a chance to sleep. Before she has even showered off the blood. When can I come see the baby? Her phone dings while she settles back in to her home with a brand new human - to her brand new normal. Her estrogen and progesterone levels are plummeting from the highest they’ve ever been to the lowest. She is shaky and hot and cold and sweaty and weak. Whether she chooses to breastfeed or not, her milk is coming in and she is sore and engorged. Whether she delivered vaginally or by c-section, her uterus will be contracting for days and weeks. Sometimes it’s as painful as labor. She’s bleeding and will continue to bleed for up to six weeks post-delivery. Her crotch is swollen and puffy and sore, or her incision is painful, or both. She is struggling to go to the bathroom - and she pees her pants (or pad) when she laughs, sneezes, and coughs. Her core muscles are weak, making lifting ANYthing hard. She’s starving. Endlessly starving. She has stretch marks and varicose veins, hair loss and acne, blurry vision and dry eyes. She sees a stranger in the mirror. She is totally and utterly exhausted. She hasn’t slept for more than an hour at a time in days or weeks. Any independence she had - to run errands, go to work, shower, eat, pee, sleep - has been suspended for now. So when you walk into her house, look at HER first. Give her space to heal, to bond, and to rest if she needs it. Be there if she needs it. Offer to help her. And then help her. Admire the baby, sure. But don’t forget to nurture the mother. . . . . .

17.01.2022 WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? . . .... Like in Happy Gilmore... do you have a happy place? . . . A place where you can imagine yourself and instantly feel safer, calmer, happier? . . . My happy place is a nice quiet beach, the clean sand under my feet, cool waves tickling my toes, the sound of the waves breaking, the feel of the cool air on a warm evening. I feel like the air is cleaner, more refreshing. I love watching the waves dance, the colours in the sky magically moving and changing. . . .

14.01.2022 A lot of women tell me that part of their birth trauma occurred when they felt like they weren't listened to or had their choices respected. They are often lef...t feeling like a mere incubator, second to the well-being of their baby. Alone in a room full of people, not fully present or involved in the birth of their child. And this isn't the way it should be. Unfortunately, if you choose to birth within the system then you need to be prepared to stand up for yourself, your choices and your human rights. This is part of what I teach my doula clients. It is a sad fact, that the opportunity for true informed consent is rarely given to women these days. Instead their is often blatant ignorance of legal rights, bullying, coercion and abuse. This free resource is for everybody. You are welcome to share it with anyone you know who may be giving birth soon.

13.01.2022 Step one . . .... . . Often, building our self belief takes work and consistent effort. . . . Daily affirmations. Spending time with people who believe in you. Spend time visualising. Write out your goals. Listen to self-hypnosis tracks. Keep repeating. . . .

12.01.2022 How did you start today? . . . Ready to take on the world OR ready to go back to bed?... . . . We all have our days, but remember, you can choose to change your attitude... it can take time and practice but is 100% worth the effort. . . . Think positively as much as possible and take note of all the extra good things that enter your world! . . . Imagine how different birth could be if we went in to labour with a new and improved attitude... what a difference it could make . . . . #positivequotes #positiveattitude #goodattitude #attitudechange #winstonchurchillquotes #powerofpositive #powerofbirth #powerofpositivethinking #powerofpositivity #happythoughts #choosehappy #thinkhappy #empoweringquotes #empowertedtobirth #changehowyouthinkaboutbirth #transformativethinking #birthdifferent #powerofchange #enlightenedthinking #adelaidemum #supportlocal #supportsa #adelaide See more

12.01.2022 TAKE A MOMENT TO PAUSE AND CONSIDER..... . . . .... . Are you acting/choosing/wanting in a certain way because that is what you have been conditioned/programmed to do? Or because it actually supports what you want as an individual? . . . I always bang on about how Lincoln is my greatest teacher. One of the biggest realizations I've had since being blessed as his mum is that we are programmed over the course of our lives to believe that a lot of things are normal/should be expected when that's not always the case! . . . It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realise that he was the expert on the baby that he was. He was born with more wisdom than I could imagine. He knew what he needed and my preconceived beliefs about how a baby should behave had no place in our lives if we wanted to be happy . . . So take a moment, consider, if you hadn't heard those stories, read that anecdotal information, watched a dozen tv shows/movies that portrayed your experience in a certain light, how different would you feel? . . . #perceptions #innatewisdom #letyourmonkeydoit #innatepower #bornwithit #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #ig_motherhood #ig_pregnancy #motherhoodintheraw #greatestteachers #everybabyisdifferent #babyexpert #unitedinmotherhood #adelaidemums #aussiemums #mumssupportingmums See more

11.01.2022 If you experienced your birth as traumatic, you are not alone. Sadly, you are 1 in 3. It hurts my soul that the statistics for birth trauma are so high. Birth is a normal physiological function and is remarkably well designed to benefit mum and baby. Yet here we are. There is a lot of work to be done to reduce this statistic. But by supporting one another, by listening, by caring, we can make a difference.

10.01.2022 Thought of the day... . . . Fear certainly has an impact on birth.... . . . If you are feeling fear about the pending birth of your baby start acting now to reduce that fear. . . . Read quality and empowering books and articles. . . Read positive birth stories. . . Book in to a Hypnobirthing Australia Class. . . . You will remember the birth of your baby for the rest of your life.

02.01.2022 I listened as my friend told me her care providers had scheduled her induction. I listened as she asked others what to expect. I remember she was not told what to really expect. I stayed by my phone, waiting, unprepared, excited, but unknowing.... An entire day went by. Her baby was not here. The next day, I was still waiting, clueless to what she was going through. Until, finally, I got the message that her beautiful baby boy had made his way Earth-side by emergency C-section. I went to visit her in the hospital. She's one of the strongest women I know. There she was. But this was not what I had expected. She laid there, in pain, confused, looking traumatised, without her baby. I watched as she continued to ask the midwives about her baby, about what she could be doing to help. I left the hospital feeling so much. I was confused, this was not the picture of love and happiness I'd been conditioned to expect. This was the opposite. This is not how we are suppose to feel after birth. If it was, how would we still be dominating this Earth? How was I supposed to do this? There had to be another way. And so, I found it. I learned. I birthed. Incredible doesn't even begin to describe it. But it wasn't enough. No woman should have to feel that way after the birth of their baby. So now I teach you, so you know before it's too late. #instagramunmuted #youdontknowuntilyouknow #youdeservebetter #takecontrol #readyforbirth

01.01.2022 You only get one chance to birth your beautiful baby. Your experience of birth will stay with you for the rest of your life. You deserve for it to be magical. Whether you desire a natural, physiological birth or a birth with intervention or c-section, you can have a positive and empowering birth.... Birth can be utterly wonderful. You can be knowledgeable, prepared, positive, excited and confident about your birthing day! DM me for more info or to book!

01.01.2022 HAPPINESS brings me so much happiness. It's as if it just seeps out of Lincoln constantly. The way he . The way he . The way he in every puddle. The way he lives life .... He doesn't let anyone limit his happiness. And now I wonder, as adults, why do we let so many other people limit ours? Let's journey back to living our lives and sharing happiness. #spreadhappiness #sharingiscaring #peaceloveandhappiness #messagesofpositivity #happyquotes See more
