23.01.2022 Patiently waiting for my body and baby to decide its time

21.01.2022 I don’t know about you guys but one day I’m wearing my pants to work, the next day said pants don’t fit!

21.01.2022 I love this A few weeks ago I was sitting breastfeeding on a bench in town when a older women walked past and said. Good job. That’s exactly what women need to be hearing, not being shamed to breast feed out of site if they don’t want to!

18.01.2022 I’ll be taking some time out to prepare for my own little one and will be resuming classes in early 2020.

17.01.2022 I’m not going to lie, being a midwife and Hypnobirthing Australia practitioner, I was totally feeling the pressure to be a birthing rockstar. Thankfully that’s exactly how I feel after the amazing birth of Miss Pippa. Let me start at the beginning. My sisters had all gone overdue with their own babies before me so I was mentally prepared to still be pregnant at 40.6 when I had an appointment with my obstetrician. ...Continue reading

17.01.2022 Time and time again I hear the old chestnuts of "I'll just go with the flow" or "I hadn't even thought about the birth"...... Consider this: - 1/3 women experie...nce birth trauma - 1/10 have PTSD as a result of treatment in birth - national cesarean rate is 34% (3 x the rate recommended by the world health organisation) - 43% of low risk women are being induced - 1/4 of QLD women surveyed in 2010 said they hadn't consented to an episiotomy Not only is birth one of the most important days of your life, but in a system that is over-medicalised, lacks informed consent and evidence based practice, are you and your birth companion going to know what to do to ensure you have a positive birthing day??

15.01.2022 "I am" are very powerful words. Melissa x p.s. I recommend going to a mirror, looking yourself in the eye and saying these words regularly. See how it makes you feel. Watch magic happen.

12.01.2022 Let's talk about this article. You don't even have to go past the heading to see what the agenda is here. Vaginal birth is the DEVIL and the cause of birth tra...uma, didn't you know?? Women need be to WARNED about the RISKS of pushing a baby out of their vagina. Oh, and doctors provide much better care than midwives Give me a fucking break. Perhaps if those women who experienced traumatic vaginal births did so in a safe and supportive environment with no unnecessary interventions, they would not have been traumatised? If they had continuity of care with someone who respected and advocated for their wishes, they could have a medicalised birth and not be traumatised. Women who report feeling supported, properly informed and in control of their births suffer less trauma than those who feel like things weren't explained properly to them, or done without their consent, or if they were treated appallingly by their care providers - REGARDLESS OF THE MODE OF BIRTH. This article is so flawed - it completely disregards all the existing research that says continuity of care with a known midwife provides better outcomes for women. It is thinly veiled patriarchal BULLSHIT and is dismissive of women's choice. Also - doctors aren't the only ones who 'intervene', midwives do too. In fact, it is often built into hospital policy that they do so. Don't even get me started on this part "Dr Beale said natural birth was a lovely philosophy" Well he's right about one thing - if there was a different philosophy to birthing, less people would be damaged. But the answer is NOT more interventions across the board. This whole system needs to be burned down and built again, to be TRULY woman centred. Belittling women's choice, ignoring the evidence and towing the line that obstetricians are the experts in what's best for birthing women... It's just another day in our broken maternity system.

11.01.2022 Antenatal breastfeeding education due to the COVID-19 outbreak, many hospitals have had to cancel antenatal breastfeeding classes. This may make some women an...xious and worried about the unknown. But please contact me if you have any questions, I am happy to answer them and give you reassurance. Share this with anyone you may know about to have a baby as well. Get them to contact me if they have any concerns or questions before their beautiful Bub arrives. @windplusbird See more

Details on each session can be found here bit.ly/SJOGbgoevents

09.01.2022 Some serious prep work happening here for my own birth. What was your favourite affirmation?

08.01.2022 What suits your caregiver, isn’t always right for you and your baby. Have you thought about what positions you would labour and birth in?

05.01.2022 How can you open the pelvis more when pushing?? Usually you’ll hear spread your knees wide to open the pelvis. But what part of the pelvis opens? When the knee...s spread apart, this tends to bring the femur into external rotation which opens the inlet, or the top, of the pelvis. But external rotation tends to close the outlet, aka where the baby is trying to move through during pushing. So, what should you do to create space in the pelvis while pushing? Internal rotation of the femur, or ankles out further than knees. Knees can still be wide, but focus on moving your ankles out just a bit further than your knees are! This can be done on your back, side, all fours! If someone is holding your leg, ensure they are gentle w the movement and not trying to force your leg. Just a little goes a long way! So when someone tells you to spread your knees to create space for your baby, it’s a statement that makes sense in the beginning of labor but maybe not anatomically correct when pushing.

04.01.2022 Sorry for being MIA this year. I had intended to be back teaching by now, but between COVID and loving this little creature I have decided to take some more time off.
