24.01.2022 August Hypnobirthing Australia Group Classes Done. And thats a wrap for this month. What an absolute joy watching these mamas and their birth partners / teams working together and learning together. Releasing and letting go of fears surrounding birth. Opening their minds and hearts, understanding more than they even knew they needed to know about their bodies and birth.... Gathering a whole heap of tools for their birth toolbox. We had first time mamas and third time mamas join us. Finding their voices and power about birth. So many Aha moments. That makes so much sense moments. They are on their journey to THEIR Positive Birth, and I cant wait to hear their stories. Xoxo @the_raw_space @hypnobirthingaustralia mrs.nicolebasham

22.01.2022 The beautiful gardens surrounding @the_raw_space where I will be holding all future Hypnobirthing Australia group classes. I cant wait to share this space with the beautiful families who are attending these powerful classes in the coming months. 1 space left for August group classes (commencing 9th August) and few spaces available for September. Message me for more info. Or hit my Facebook page up and head to events. Knowledge is Power! Power is beautiful! Being informed about birth is paramount! https://www.facebook.com/events/184897989513686?name=August+Hypnobirthing+Australia+Group+Classes&event_id=184897989513686

21.01.2022 Jump on over to my insta account to have a look/listen about my routine when trying to fight buggies / lurgies / sickies in the house! Also a super quick tutorial on how I make my sourdough. Write a comment - ask a question - open to more tips from you beautiful peeps. ... If you want me to post the video direct to Facebook let me know that too. I think I can do it. Haha https://www.instagram.com/tv/CE0c7Djnuac/

21.01.2022 Hey lovelies! Been MIA for the last week recharging the mine and the families batteries for the last week up in Gnaraloo. I had zero service which was actually incredible and giving me a little kick in the behind I possibly need to get my head out of my phone and look up more. I will be actively trying to only respond to queries / emails / messages etc In the evenings from here on out. Looking forward to sharing some holiday snaps with you all. Highly recommend going offline for a week and spending time in the sunshine, sand and surf! It was incredible. Planning next Gnaraloo / Red Bluff / Quabba holiday for next year as soon as possible xoxo

20.01.2022 So this morning didn’t start off the best with the kids. Wasn’t even 6am and we had tackled 3 tantrums (ok 4 - one adult size tantrum too) We have already cried, hugged it out and said sorry this morning! So we decided to start the day again! Literally got back into bed, got out - hugged and shook it off.... Put some music off and danced it off. We then got out all our fruit, the kids chopped up all the fruit - we foraged in our little garden for added bits. Passion fruit pulp, some blueberries and mint were added from our garden. Yummy fruit salad, with yoghurt and muesli. We may have started the day off badly to start with, but our bodies are being fuelled really well! How did you morning start? Good food for the soul!

20.01.2022 First Reel - so dont laugh too hard haha Best upright birth position- land birth! First reel on Insta. #perthdoula #homebirth #hospitalbirth #upright #nobacklying #optimalpositions #hypnobirthing #birthdoula #doula #liveloveandbirth #birthpositions

19.01.2022 What is Hypnobirthing? In a nutshell- what Hypnobirthing Australia is. A quick (sorry it ended up being 10 minutes) of what it is, what you learn - why it isnt about being hypnotised!

18.01.2022 Often a topic of discussion when talking about birth positions. Toilet! It is a great place to go to, a great place at home but especially at hospital, as it is a small, secure / dark space. ... Labouring in the bathroom / on the toilet can allow you to open and fully relax. Straddling the toilet will be more beneficial because you have the benefits of opening your pelvis, but also allowing your birth parter/Doula complete access to your back and hips. Soft touch up and down back, hips and legs. Acupressure points on back. The amazing Doula signature hip squeeze. So many options on the toilet. And boom - if you need to urinate or open your bowels - you are already there https://www.facebook.com/295509681082180/posts/595785427721269/?d=n

16.01.2022 Birth uninterrupted - families involved! My heart bravo mama! The encouraging words, the reminder to slow her breath - the excitement in the voice of the big sister to be, the perfect relaxing music! Its just perfect - and my face is wet with tears. Thank you for sharing your beautiful rainbow birth! Posted @withregram @2lifedoula Our rainbow after the storm caught into the arms of daddy. Baby #3...Under the circumstances we decided to completely change our hospital bir...th plan at 30 weeks due to Covid to a homebirth. Strong instincts took over to make that decision and I went with my gut. It was a calm beautiful empowering experience that I would wish on any expecting mama, the touch of my kids and husband, the confidence in my abilities and words of affirmations from the doula and Midwife are still with me, this is what birth uninterrupted feels like. Its pure bliss Video credit to @_mama_bear_2 #rainbowbaby #waterbirth #bliss #love #empoweringwomen #birth #2lifedoula

15.01.2022 Blog Blog Blog The Essentials Part 1 (homebirth) What do I need for my birth?... How many towels will I need? How many nappies do I need to bring to Hospital? What should I wear? These are often questions I hear from mamas planning their births. Whether they are planning a Home Birth, Hospital Birth or Family Birth Centre. https://liveloveandbirth.com.au/the-essentials-part-1-home/

15.01.2022 || Amber / crystal necklace|| This REcreation is for a young fella who seems to love his fishing and misses his old necklace that has been misplaced. I was asked to recreate his old necklace which had cherry amber and aqua. ... This is what I came up with, in hopes he loves it as much as I do. Being an older boy I though incorporating chunkier pieces at the top and fading into smaller pieces would have a more masculine feel. The choice of pendant was down to a leaf or a fish!

14.01.2022 Beautiful mamas! Being a mum is so rewarding and tough and confusing and powerful! You are all amazing!... Birth is just the beginning of this incredible journey you/we are on! https://www.facebook.com/552475731/posts/10157433046670732/?d=n

13.01.2022 4 kids, 2 sisters, fresh air, no shoes and an empty cardboard box! I mean, what are memories made of??

13.01.2022 This crazy / fierce / powerful / energetic / empathetic / nurturing / know it all / impatient / AMAZING young lady - never ceases to amaze me. She got to spend the day with her bestie today, and when it was time to leave her bestie got very upset because she didnt want to leave Mary. Mary was showering her with cuddles, and hand holds and safe feelings - and then just before they walked out the door. She held her hands and said Do you know what I want for my birthday? (I was just about to interrupt and say it wasnt a good time to talk about that, she is upset. And then) all I want for my birthday, is a cuddle from you I cant even. Where does she get this from? These kids - just amazes me day in, day out! My heart swelled with love, gratitude and pride

12.01.2022 Hypnobirthing Australia - Positive Birth Program January Group Classes - Aveley Hypnobirthing Australia classes are very different to the antenatal classes that you may attend at a hospital. ...

12.01.2022 For those who really know me. Know I am passionate about birth and especially breech birth. It is just a variation of normal and because of a dodgy trial back in 2000, breech births have nearly become extinct. The world needs to remember that breech is just a variation of normal and is safe, if not safer than a cesarean birth. When you really look at the risks in comparison to vaginal birth and cesarean birth.... The risks of cesarean are higher for the maternal mother. RETEACH BREECH! Lets get behind this and start getting more hospitals / people / women coming back to the basics and birth breech. Xo Or at least having more of an option given to them that they in fact CAN birth breech. https://chuffed.org/project/reteachbreech

12.01.2022 Raise your hand if you are a big kid at heart and get involved with play? I mean, it makes for the most fun. I am that mum who does rolls down the big green grass hill, climbs up the ladders and across the monkey bars - I am the mum who allows climbing up the slide (as long as there isnt too many kids around). Getting involved with their play can be therapeutic, but then I also get dragged into their games all the time when I just wanna sit and have a coffee and a chat. Haha cant win them all xo - big kid at heart.

12.01.2022 Unassisted Birth/Freebirth! Look away if you are not interested in watching an uninterrupted, instinctual birth. The emotions are rawr, real and mama follows her instincts (like we used to)... Dad is the most supportive midwife and the perfect person she needs Freebirth is a choice, not a choice to make lightly. Free-birth is birthing at home without any medically trained attendees (no midwives). Those who choose this way to birth usually make these choices based on a lot of self education about themselves and birth - understanding the whole process. Unfortunately some birthing people feel pushed into a corner and feel this is their only option to birth when the system has failed them before, and wont support their choices. I hate that women feel this is their only choice, and that is when the choice to freebirth is made for the wrong reasons (Fear) https://youtu.be/mP6hRkzszVE

12.01.2022 They told you! How about you tell them! Your journey! Your birth! Your body!... YOU ARE THE POWER, YOU HAVE THE POWER! Knowledge is power! https://www.facebook.com//a.14697982198/2866206533400053/

11.01.2022 Fear Release And thats a wrap for this month. What an absolute joy watching these mamas and their birth partners / teams working together and learning together. Releasing and letting go of fears surrounding birth. Fear Release Guided meditation / hypnosis outdoors with the perfect amount of sun, wind and chirping birds was perfection! ... To move towards a positive birth, it is so important to release and let go of any fears that have been brewing and growing. Whether it be a birth story you have heard, some meaningful friend sharing their traumatic birth story with you. Society/ movies/ tv shows showing birth as something horrific, scary, to be feared. Learn to let it go, learn to release that fear. Learn to tell your friends you are wanting to focus on the positive side of birth, and to please not share their birth stories just yet. As this journey is just beginning for you. Its is your journey! We all want and should share our stories, but please remember - sharing your stories to someone preparing for their impending birth can impact them greatly.

11.01.2022 Creating! Latest little creation. Macrame necklace. This was made for an intended beautiful mama friend who birthed her boy freely at home in beautiful Denmark. It took me ages to choose the crystals for her - but finally I was drawn to clear quartz and Lapis lazuli with some added lava stone.

11.01.2022 Did you know I am half Swiss? Half Aussie? Swaussie? Born in Switzerland? Grew up in Nigeria? Went to a German school? Speak fluent Swiss and German? 1st of August is a day of celebration for us - Switzerlands national day. My dad is more swiss since being in Australia than ever haha. He plays the Alphorn as you can see in the video. The beautiful sound of the alps. What is your heritage? Your background? What is your story? Tell me? I want to know xoxoxo

08.01.2022 Placenta / Tree of life!! The beautiful life source that nurtures and nourishes your baby whilst in utero. Facts ... The placenta provides nutrients, oxygen and fluids to your baby. During every minute of your pregnancy, 500ml of blood is sent to the uterus to exchange nutrients via the placenta. The placenta provides 100% of babies oxygen needs. Just like your body provides 02 to all of your muscles m, blood and organs - your body also sends oxygen to your baby. So take a deep breath in for your baby. Xo The placenta is a little bit of mama and a little bit of papa. Created with both parents cells. When the placenta separates from the uterus wall - it triggers the release of the prolactin hormone. The milk maker hormone. Myths Your placenta will stop working after 40 weeks. Calcification of the placenta means it’s deteriorating. Its the placentas blood (nope - that’s babies blood) low lying placenta are cause for concern early on in pregnancy. Myth Busters There is no evidence which directly correlates to placenta deterioration and length of pregnancy. If your provider makes such a statement - ask them for the evidence based study to back that up. The blood from the placenta makes up the blood of baby. Once baby is born allowing all the blood to transfer from placenta to baby provides an addition 1/3 of blood volume. Calcification of an older 41 weeker etc placenta is a normal fester of a healthy placenta. Just like extra smile lines on an older woman, or those extra silver lines in an older woman’s hair. Part of the aging process. Low lying placenta. As long as the placenta isn’t covering the cervix - generally the placenta will move up as the uterus grows. Imagine a half inflated balloon. Now mark a spot near the opening of the balloon and inflate completely. Where is the marked spot now? Just like the spot on the balloon moved up as the balloon grew, so will your placenta as your uterus grows! Placenta Birth once baby is born, you still have to birth the placenta. The placenta separates from the uterus wall, then moves to the vagina opening to be born if there has been any intervention (induced, augmented or epidural) actively managed birth of placenta is safest option. (Injection) No interventions to the birth process? Physiological birth of placenta is possible. Remember gravity can help! Placentas what an amazing piece of life! Celebrate it, keep it, plant it or eat it (encapsulated or smoothie style )

08.01.2022 Hi guys, I help run a beautiful positive support group for pregnancy, birth and post. We have monthly meet ups and each month a different topic...

07.01.2022 Thank you Lauren Middleton and Pat for trusting me to be apart of your birth team. What an incredible journey it was. First meet being over zoom due to covid, which led to an amazing pregnancy and birth journey. ... As always teaching me more about birth every single journey I am invited into. Little miss M, teaching us all a thing or 2 about birth! There is no perfect position for birth, they are all a variation of normal.

06.01.2022 38 WEEK PREGNANT BODIES NEEDED for some TLC (PERTH) Hi all...we have our doula training practice day on Monday 14th September and if you are 38 weeks or more and would be able to donate your time to helping out with doula practice that would be great. You would need to be willing to spend 2 and a half hours having a combination of massage, acupressure, a variety of doula skills including working with a rebozo, pelvic pathways positioning / stretching and receiving labour and birth information. We need 8 women for the morning session from 9:30am till 12pm, then another 8 women for the afternoon session from 2pm till 4:30pm (we cannot change these times so you must be available these times). Please email me at [email protected]

06.01.2022 Affirmations! Preparing your mind for a calm, positive birth. How to use affirmations / visualisation is just one of the many tools in your toolkit you will learn from Hypnobirthing Classes. See them. Hear them. Feel them.

06.01.2022 THIS IS A VIDEO OF BREECH EXTRACTION - This should only apply if there are some difficulties in birthing. Usually there should be a hands off breech approach. With mama bear in an upright birthing position for the best outcome! Since the term breech trial, breech births have become more and more taboo/extinct. With more and more providers forgetting the art / process of breech birth - it is getting less and less normal to birth breech. Australia used to have an 80% rate ...of hospital providing breech birth, with providers who were breech trained/comfortable. Working a day of the breech term trial being released - those numbers dwindled to 20% of Australian providers who offered breech experience. The rest then chose to only to c/section. Did you know, being experienced in breech extraction can not only be a huge life saving Manouvre in breech birth (if Hands off the breech doesnt work) but it can also be a massive advantage for an emergency cesarean where baby is head down in the pelvis. Breech is just a variation of normal! Reteach it and normalise it and women everywhere will gain more confidence again. Posted @withregram @breechwithoutborders The Front to Back maneuver releases an anterior nuchal arm during a vaginal breech birth. It is done with the mother in an upright position. This version uses a shoulder grip. (The posterior arm is already born, making it easier to grip the shoulders.) We are demonstrating on Sophie and Her Mum by MODEL-med of Australia.

05.01.2022 Out of office - be back Sunday. Just chilling down with another Herd

04.01.2022 Providers who say they will LET YOU try for a natural birth, LET YOU go over 40 weeks, LET YOU try for a natural breech birth. Are NOT being supportive, they are being controlling! You should consider LETTING them go and regaining your own power back. Your body, your baby, YOUR birth. Make informed, empowered choices - not fear based choices! You got this!

03.01.2022 In light of Celebrating breastfeeding week! Aug 1st to 7th August I thought it would be fitting to share my blog about Milk Sharing.... This week isnt aimed at shaming any other choice of nurturing / feeding your baby. It is aimed at normalising and celebrating breastfeeding. You would be surprised at how many women are still shamed for breastfeeding and asked to cover up / or use the parenting room. I worked hard on my RBF resting bitch face and lucky enough was never criticised (lucky for them too hehe) Lets support one another! https://liveloveandbirth.com.au/milk-sharing-its-not-weird/

02.01.2022 Avoid back lying - lythotomy position unless it feels right for you. If you listen to your instinct - you are on the right path. Being upright allows your pelvis to move/stretch/open to accomodate babies head. ... And babies head can move/mould and accomodate the pelvis. Perfectly made for each others accomodations. https://www.facebook.com//a.34353431241/2639903912778009/

01.01.2022 This is literally the reason I do what I do! Women’s bodies don’t fail! You don’t have an incompetent cervix, you didn’t fail to dilate it wasn’t YOUR bodies fault. It was the system that fails us. Guided by policies, guidelines - timelines and the fear of risk risk risk! ... What if they trusted your body more? What if they didn’t listen to the beeping machines, and instead they were present with you?? What if they gave you ALL the risks and BENEFITS?? The absolute risk! Not just the scary number? https://www.facebook.com/birthtimeworld/videos/187776479592043/?vh=e Get yourself a ticket and watch this doco! Been following these guys from the very beginning and very excited to see their baby come to life
