Birth Rediscovered, Deal (2026)

11/05/2023

It's been a while..... and I have gained a few new followers, so I thought it's about time I introduced myself again.

I'm Georgina, and I am the face behind Birth Rediscovered! I teach birth preparation classes, and am a postpartum doula based in Deal on the glorious Kent coast.

I am passionate about birth, and helping people feel calm, confident and empowered as they embark on one of the most challenging, life changing and exhilarating moments of their lives.

Everyone knows that the maternity services are struggling at the moment. It is no secret that midwives are overworked, underpaid and exhausted. In the East Kent area, this is particularly prevent, and our maternity services are at a crisis point.

It has never been more important to understand not only how your body and birth works, but also to completely understand the system, your choices and your fundamental rights as a human, and as someone who is giving birth.

This is where I come in. I want to help you understand the nitty gritty of how birth works, but also how to navigate the system as it is at the moment. At the same time, I want to support you in finding confidence in your body, your instincts, and your birth!

If this sounds like something you'd like, send me a message and we can arrange a quick chat, to see if I'm the right fit for you :)

What does a course with me cover? Swipe through to see session by session...

My course is designed to give you information about all types of birth, so that you feel informed and knowledgeable...ready to take on whatever birth comes your way.

I truly believe that once you understand the physiology of birth, you take away the fear... and when you take away the fear, it is replaced with a confidence and calmness that can lead to a positive and empowered birth, regardless of how that birth occurs.

I also believe that it is incredibly important to prepare for all types of birth, and the interventions that may be offered to you throughout your pregnancy and labour. There's no denying that at this point in time, the rate of induction and intervention is only increasing, and there is a high likelihood that you will be offered these during your pregnancy. Understanding them before they are offered to you, and knowing how to get the information you need to make an informed decision is key to remaining in control of your labour and birth.

When you book a course with me, you also get WhatsApp support from when you book, right through to after you have given birth. Any time you have a question, need a sounding board, or someone to lend a listening ear, I will be there.

If you have any questions about my course, or just want to find out more, send me a DM or fill out the contact form on my website and I'll get right back to you.

Next course starts 20th April -Spaces are available!!

International Women's day is about bringing people together. It is about working alongside each other to cultivate a world where everyone is equal. Where differences are celebrated and people advocate for others and lift them up. It is about celebrating the achievements of women, and those who work tirelessly to create a better future for those who come after them.

I am lucky enough to be surrounded by women who inspire me, but disappointly, I'm not sure I've ever verbalised this to them individually! So, let this be an open letter to all the wonderful women in my life.

Thank you for inspiring me. Inspiring me to be a better mother, a better friend and a better version of myself.

I am lucky to be blessed with family who are so kind, caring and selfless. I am blessed with friends who are strong, capable, and brilliant. I am blessed with new found friends and colleagues, who are passionate, knowledgeable and uplifting.

It's because of these wonderful people that I feel confident and inspired to work alongside other women, and help them feel empowered and supported, the way that others have empowered and supported me.

Thank you all 🥰

P.s. On this day, I'd also like to mention the midwife who attend the birth of my first son. Her name was Diane, and at the time, I don't think I realised what a massive impact she had on me, my birth experience and ultimately, my reasons for going into this line of work. She fully empowered me to have the birth I wanted, simply by allowing and encouraging me just to be. This warrants a longer post one day, but for now... Diane, from QEQM hospital, MLU, in 2014 - I've never forgotten you. Thank you!

There are so many factors that influence how birth happens in modern society, and unfortunately it seems as though few of them have parent and baby at the centre.

Society has changed so much over the last 100 years or so, and with that, the way we birth has changed dramatically. We have become such a risk averse society, that many of the wonderful medical advances we have made to help improve maternal outcomes, have started to be overused, over relied upon, and can end up being the cause of negative outcomes, rather than avoiding them.

Birth is no longer viewed as a 'normal' everyday occurance that occasionally needs a little extra help. People are often not given the opportunity to let their bodies do what is the physiological norm. Now, we see far more people being recommended to end their pregnancy early based on fear and anxiety over what we do not know.

It's as if society now finds it hard to understand why having medical control over a labour and birth wouldn't be the right way to go? Surely it's always the best to utilise the tools we have, right?

It certainly seems as though the tide is starting to change now, and evidence based research is slowly creeping into to some professional practice. But sadly we still have a long way to go.

This is why knowing and understanding birth in all its multifaceted glory is really important for expectant families.

Having a positive birth experience starts with getting informed.
