There’s nothing ordinary about growing a human or giving birth- and there’s nothing worse then the one size fits all approach to maternity care.

I know how temping it is to use these “tools” as if they will give you a glimpse of the future. But here’s proof they absolutely can’t.

Always consider what you will do with the information you receive. You can’t undo it once you have it.

Would thinking my vba2c chance was 12% have shaken me? Of course! I’m human and that would have been very hard to work with.

That could have shown up in labour and I might not have had the strength to keep going.

My birth preparation was intentional, thorough and rooted in strong evidence.

I hear so often from you that your birth partners, dads, sisters, families are not supportive of your VBAC plans - and while it’s easy to say “not their body, not their choice” the reality is your VBAC is more likely to be successful if you feel fully supported by those closest to you 🙌

So I’ve created a free easy to read handout answering the top 10 most asked questions about VBAC for you to share with them. 🫶

I can’t guarantee they’ll change their mind but it will help them understand choosing a VBAC is not dangerous selfish or reckless. And you may just find you do have their support when you need it the most

I hear it all the time.

No point making a birth plan.
You can’t control birth
It all goes out the window when your screaming for an epidural
No one ever reads them
I didn’t care once I was in labour.
You’ll just be disappointed when plans change

Newsflash! Your birth plan isn’t a set menu! It’s more like a recipe book to pick and choose from.

Knowing what’s on offer helps you understand what you do or don’t fancy/need/want on the day.

And your birth plan might well be get me an epidural- make sure you know how & when to get it - how to optimise it and how to reduce the risks associated with it.

A birth plan is less about that bit of paper and more about the knowledge and thought behind it. You plan for X but will be happy with Y if needed but under no circumstances do you want Z.

Your birth partner needs to know it to help advocate your wishes and rights. And park it under your healthcare professional’s noses.

There’s even research showing that people who prepared more thoroughly for their labours experienced them as less painful!

Bottom line - if you want a medicalised birth in the hospital then skip the birth plan because that’s pretty much what’s on offer when you go with the flow because it’s the hospital flow.

If you want to get clued up and well prepared all my 1:1 hypnobirthing and birth prep sessions include a birth plan review.

I’d love to help you prepare for a better birth

Are we being truly informed of the risks of c sections?

Personally I was floored when I learnt how many c section babies needed to spend time in nicu. Up to 25%. That’s a sizeable risk! Not one I was ever advised about when I had been heavily pushed towards having c sections.

Maternity care is also (understandably) now focused. You and baby alive - job done. But you carry on from that experience. Most people won’t have lasting impact but there are also many people who do & can feel affronted to only find this out much later on.

Let me know what’s been an unexpected result of your c sections? What do you wish more people were aware of? #
