🤍 DID YOU KNOW YOU CAN ENGAGE A PRIVATE MIDWIFE FOR POSTNATAL CARE? 🤍

We receive so much support during pregnancy, with approximately 12 antenatal visits… but once our beautiful new baby arrives, that support can drop to just 2 visits at home. 🥹

And yet, the postnatal period is when we often need the most support. ❤️

You deserve more than just a quick check-in. You deserve time, care and support as you navigate life with your newborn.

Postnatal packages include:

🤍 Maternal postnatal checks
👶 Newborn health checks
📘 Blue Book checks
🤱 Breastfeeding and feeding support
💬 Birth debriefs and time to process your birth experience

All in the comfort of your own home 🏡

💰 Generous Medicare rebates may be available, helping make ongoing postnatal support more accessible, with low out-of-pocket costs for eligible families.

✨ DM me to enquire or book your postnatal care package. ✨

🌿 Want to have your baby at home? 🌿

Don’t wait too long to book your midwife.

I know many families are currently waiting to find out whether they’ve secured a place in the publicly funded Homebirth Program.

But, if you already know that home birth is something you really want, it’s worth getting in touch with a private midwife sooner rather than later.

✨ Private midwifery places are also limited
✨ Continuity of care matters
✨Care that is safe, supported and respectful
✨Care that is evidence based and promotes informed decision making.

If home birth is important to you, get in touch early so we can talk about your options and availability.

📩 Send me a DM to enquire.

Should we need to advocate for ourselves during birth? What are your thoughts?
Of course not!

Reshared from Ashleigh Foy | Private Midwife & IBCLC This is your golden hour at home ✨

Your baby lifted straight onto your skin. Still wet. Still warm from you. No corridor between the moment they arrive and the moment they land on your chest.

The cord stays attached, quietly pulsing, still doing its work. Nobody reaches for the clamp before it’s ready to let go. No clock on the wall. No form to sign. Just low light, a quiet room, and your baby exactly where they landed.

Your midwife stays close. Watching everything. Touching almost nothing. The weighing, the measuring, all of it can wait its turn.

You can birth your placenta in your own time. Your toddler can walk in, sleepy-eyed, to meet their sibling right here, in their home, their safest and most familiar place.

Nobody hands your baby back to you. They were never carried away to begin with.

This is what an undisturbed hour protects. The bond forming in the quiet. The oxytocin doing its work, uninterrupted. Breastfeeding finding its first, best chance to begin.

This is exactly what private midwifery care at home is built around. Not rushing the moment that matters most.

Reshared from Calmbirth Labour runs on oxytocin. This is the hormone that drives contractions - but, it’s also really shy, and it does’t flow quite as well when your body senses it’s being watched or feels unsafe.

Adrenaline on the other hand, is the hormone at the opposite end of the spectrum.

It’s released the moment your nervous system senses threat, whether real or perceived. It can be triggered by many things such as bright lights, strangers being in the room, feeling like you’re in a space that isn’t yours, or even being questioned when you’re halfway through a contraction.

The problem is, that when adrenaline rises it directly competes with oxytocin and can cause your labour to slow down or stall.

This is why familiarity is so important in labour. It’s not just sentimental, it’s actually physiological! A space where you feel protected, private and undisturbed is a space where your body is more likely to feel safe to do what it knows how to do.

Wherever you’re planning to give birth, it’s super important to chat with your pregnancy care provider about what would help you feel safest while you’re there.
