You don’t have to be attended by a midwife to birth at home 📣​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I often hear stories of women who ‘had’ to birth in hospital despite really not wanting to simply because the homebirth services couldn’t attend.

This is not true in that you don’t ‘have’ to do anything. But this becomes a belief and a story perhaps to avoid facing head on the fact that in preparing to homebirth, we should be prepared to Freebirth.

Preparing to birth at home requires absolute trust in your bodies ability to birth a baby regardless of who is there or not there.

Preparing to birth at home requires surrender and absolute comfort with who you are inviting into your birthing space.

It requires you to know that you don’t ‘need’ another person to hero you.

However… big however… most women DO want a comforting presence of another woman. I believe this is is going back to the generations of women who birthed in community, in sisterhood, with elders, with wise women.

I personally chose a Birthkeeper, the beautiful , because not only is she a wonderful friend, I also know she has the same mindset as me. She unequivocally trusts women’s bodies and women’s intuition.

I actually wasn’t sure I wanted anyone, and we didn’t know if she would actually be able to make it because she had a huge show that week. I was prepared that my birth may well not fall in the one day she had free that week… but perhaps serendipitously it did. But I did want someone to hold the room should anyone else’s worry start to creep in or interrupt me. Like an energetic barrier almost. Not an advocate though. I didn’t need that. Just holding the energy

It has been said that the first intervention for birth is leaving your home. I’m taking it back a step and saying the first intervention is attending a growth scan (perhaps debatably actually attending any institutionalised medical appointments in pregnancy?)​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​If you have watched my IGTV video on ‘What if my baby is too big for my body’ you’ll know that growth scans can be (and nearly always are in my experience) hugely inaccurate. In fact the inaccuracy of a 10-15% error margin, while sounds not much, has the ability to ‘diagnose’ your baby as being too small for gestational age OR a whopper, when in fact they may just be average. The fact is of course that size doesn’t matter.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It’s the fear, the doubt placed, the mistrust in the innate intelligence of your body that causes the damage in the trust women have to give birth… “if it’s possible for my body to grow a baby that is not the right size then it’s possible for me not to be able to give birth!”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You see? It’s subtle, and many women can’t even see that this is the damage being done. But it’s everything in the subconscious mind that will be the things that truly derail your birth. I have sadly seen it play out over and over again. A suggested growth scan leads to further poking and prodding, anxiety and preparing for worrying appointments , a time limit, a forced induction, a sabotaged birth, a traumatised woman. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You deserve more. Your baby deserves more. We can only be responsible for ourselves and the choices we make. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I’d love to hear from you if you felt coerced into a growth scan you didn’t need?

Your OB is not a natural birth expert 🙅‍♀️📣​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​One huge mistake I see in many pregnant women is unknowingly relying on obs or midwives that claim to be advocates of natural birth only to end up with highly medicated births

Why?

Because your hospital based care is ONLY used to seeing hospital births

The majority of hospital births are not physiological births and the problem is that women are sold the idea that natural birth is totally achievable in a hospital

It is achievable but it is very uncommon

Most vaginal births in hospital encounter unwanted hands entering vaginas, medication, epsiotomies & instrumental deliveries that women didn't want in the first place.

If a medical birth is what you want then fantastic, but if it's a natural birth then think about what 'experts' you're being cared for by.

OBs and midwives are experts in emergency situations (even arguably most emergencies are created by medical intervention) which is great, but it means they have NOT witnessed undisturbed birth.

Because undisturbed birth doesn't happen in hospital.

It's time to get informed about birth if you know in your bones that a natural birth is what you want mama

A white coat doesn’t make someone an expert of your pregnancy over you 📣🙅‍♀️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Contrary to what we’ve been conditioned to believe

Machines and technology and drs with measuring tapes only serve to disconnect you from your innate knowing

The more we defer to other people the less we trust ourselves

The more we need diagnostics the less intuitive we become

The more medicalised care we have the more likelihood of a medicalised birth

We are also now in a time where maternity mortality has actually increased over the last 10 years DESPITE increases in inductions and cesareans.

Mama, Your baby needs YOU primarily as it’s security system and in built thermostat 🙏

What are you in need of to feel like the expert of your baby and body?

Education and knowledge, building confidence and relaxation techniques are some of the areas covered in a Hypnobirthing course that massively help women to feel strong and powerful in a time that can otherwise feel overwhelming and vulnerable.

This DOESNT mean that 80% of women are not designed to birth naturally!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This figure is not a reflection of the capabilities of women’s bodies

It is a reflection on how the birth system does not reflect nor truly understand physiological birth

It is a reflection of how the system interrupts the hormonal matrix needed for physiological birth to happen

It is a reflection of the fact that we are not built to give birth naturally in sterile environments with strangers observing us

Women if you fell into that 80% but ended up NOT one of the 33%, it doesn’t mean that you failed.

It simply means the conditions were not right for natural birth to occur.

When we remove the rules, the protocols, the checks and the poking and prodding, remove the unfamiliar people and unfamiliar environment… we see physiological birth unfold efficiently time after time

Women you can choose not to become a sad statistic by taking control of your birth and deciding how YOU want your birth to be

I know this because I chose it myself and have taught hundreds of other women to do the same

When we interfere with birth it becomes less safe 📣🛑​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Your body and the birth process is designed for purpose

It only knows healing and when we profess to know better it can change the course of that process dramatically

I think it’s important we are honest about birth because it’s not that birth is inherently dangerous. Birth is as safe as life gets. But it’s that it can become dangerous when we don’t respect the conditions required.

YES we can be grateful for help in TRUE medical emergencies

But sadly most emergencies in birth are created by the medical interference in the first place

Simply by observing birth we change the flow of hormones that are needed

So it goes without saying that more hands on interventions only create further need for intervention

So where do you go from here?

Learn what is needed for physiological birth to unfold SAFELY first and foremost

Understand how each decision you make can impact the flow of birth

And you will feel in control and confident about the decisions you make, however unique those are to you, in your birth.

It's healthy for children to witness the rawness of birth...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​When we let our children see birth, they not only understand the physiological side better

They not only are less fearful of what birth actually is

They not only are given the chance to be a apart of a family initiation

But we allow them to expand emotionally, spiritually and intellectually far more than we ever cold expect them to from reading a book, or watching a video.

We allow them to develop their own grasp on the resilience and perfect design of the body

And the full potential of our mental resilience and fortitude

They witness true nurturing and authentic care giving

They witness the significance of of self care and autonomy

Endless possibilities and futures are opened up to them

When else can we possibly expect children to be enriched as deeply as this?

Unresolved fear and trauma will sabotage your birth...​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Feeling in control is a big part of building up birth confidence and when we are confident, we are calm; the ideal bodily conditions for birth to unfold.

But when we haven't addressed past fear or trauma (fear also includes subconscious thoughts so something everyone needs to work on) this shows up fully in our body during birth and inhibits efficient birth.

For some acknowledging, accepting and releasing techniques will be enough.

For some of you (a lot of women), deeper rewiring of the brain is necessary to avoid getting stuck in a fear response loop.

Hypnobirthing techniques target the subconscious brain and our brains actually do have the possibility to change their thought patterns which is amazing.

So a past traumatic birth 100% doesn't mean future births can't be powerful and autonomous- it can be the catalyst to the most beautiful transformation.

Do not assume that your birth plan will save you from sabotage 🙅‍♀️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I know, I have been there before;

An extensive birth plan detailing what I want and what I don’t

For it then to go out of the window

No one will double check the plan once the cascade of intervention has begun

Because in a medical setting there are procedures and protocols that must be followed

That’s why being super informed and educated about exactly what facilitates a physiological birth is your FIRST port of call.

Second is addressing and releasing subconscious and conscious fears

However, what your birth plan WILL do is;

✅Help YOU get really clear on how you want your birth to be

✅aid you in then making important and informed decisions during pregnancy that will lead you closer to this

✅Help your birth team understand the type of birth you want

✅Direct your team (not medical provider) with pre laid out instructions on what and what not to do

✅Guide you deeper into how to prep for post birth (SO important)

I nailed the structure of the birth plan and now I roll this out in my courses as a loose guide for clients to use and curate their own!!

I’m going to be sharing this with my email list this week- if you’re not on the list yet head to my link in bio 🙌
