A perfect way to start preparing for the birth of your baby , lots of opportunities to explore all the options around birth , labour and breastfeeding .

21.01.2022 September 6 - 12 is is Birth Trauma Awareness Week. First of all, it is profoundly sad that we need to set aside even one day of the year, let alone an entire w...eek to raising awareness of birth trauma. But when between a third to half of all Australian women describe their birth as traumatic, we need to talk about birth trauma and we need to talk about it NOW. What is Birth Trauma? Birth trauma has been defined by Penny Simkin (2015) as when the individual mother, father, or other witness believes the mother’s or her baby’s life was in danger, or that a serious threat to the mother’s or her baby’s physical or emotional integrity existed (Simkin, 2015). But surely all that matters is a healthy mum and a healthy baby, right? This has become the catch-all phrase for the current generation of women who, for the most part, find themselves being hurtled along the conveyor belt of birth. They don’t receive individualised, woman-centred care from a known care provider. They are subjected to routine interventions, many of which are not medically necessary and are not based on evidence, only to be found that they are chewed up and spat out on the other end with a newborn baby and little to no practical support in the critical early days and weeks postpartum.

19.01.2022 Several people have asked me about COVID -19 and pregnancy . This , like many things about this virus , is still a bit of a guessing game . What we do know is that pregnant woman should do their best to avoid infection and their families and partners should do their best to enable this . This is a good little podcast from the Guardian Science Weekly that discusses what science is already discovering from the limited data that is already accumulating Stay healthy everyone https://podcasts.apple.com//po/science-weekly/id136697669

17.01.2022 ‘"Research has shown that having a small team that provides continuity gives the best outcome," Dr Lim said.’

13.01.2022 great information for anyone thinking about baby wearing https://babywearingweek.org//babywearing-benefits-evidence/

11.01.2022 One of the key recommendations of the report is :- Educational interventions for women and families to support meaningful dialogue with providers and informed decision-making on mode of delivery (i.e. providing childbirth training workshops for mothers and couples, relaxation training programmes led by nurses, psychosocial couple-based prevention programmes, psychoeducation for women with fear of pain or anxiety).

10.01.2022 Due to increased demand we have a few more places on the upcoming Skills for Labour workshop this saturday Message below if you would like to come or email [email protected] This workshop is full of tips and techniques to prepare you for a great birth. It includes birth positions, visualisations, relaxation, massage and the vital role of your support person.... This workshop is best done 3-4 weeks before your babys birth day, and will refresh your memory on the how labour works This workshop assumes you have a basic understanding of physiological labour. It will not cover medical interventions and drug based pain relief, however we will include coping strategies. https://www.facebook.com/events/2172422636350936/ See more

09.01.2022 you may have already seen this news about the release of the findings in their Lancet series . This piece in Eureka is a nice balanced overview and provides links to the article( not available at the time of this post ). This is very much NOT about demonising caesarean but acknowledgement of the over use and pointing to some of the reasons and potential risks . for example : For healthcare professionals, improved education, guidelines and communication, and second-opinion ...policies may also be helpful to address influences such as womens requests, convenience, financial incentives, and fear of litigation. In particular, in some regions C-sections are seen as protective, and physicians are less likely to be sued if complications occur, than during vaginal delivery. The authors warn that in many settings young physicians are becoming experts in C-section, while losing confidence in their abilities to assist in vaginal birth. .....anyway read for yourselves and let us know what you think https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_rel/2018-10/tl-tlc101018.php

05.01.2022 Interesting read . This is not an anti caesarean piece but talks to the role of microbes encountered at birth and the way these may affect an individuals health . Understanding this fully may enable health professionals in the future to give Caesarean babies a cocktail of good bacteria at birth, so that their relationship with the microbial world starts on the right path."
