Your Birth Blueprint

The first touch after birth is like a symphony of emotions — overwhelmingly beautiful. 🎶👶

Here’s to holding our little inspirations gently. 🎨👶

A single line captures a universe of love and connection. It's simple, timeless, and oh so profound. ❤️✏️

Wrapped in dreams and safe in arms. These are the moments we never want to forget. 😴❤️

7 ways to reduce perineal tearing during childbirth The incidence of perineal tearing is increasing, but there are ways to reduce the risk.

It's been a while since we've done some advocacy training. So whether you're interested in improving birth in your local area, across your state or nationally (they're often intertwined though), these sessions will be full of easy-to-action steps to start you on your advocacy journey.

Alecia (our Director and Media spokesperson) has been involved in this space for over a decade, has worked on the National Maternity Strategy, presented at the Stillbirth Inquiry and helped inform the plan, she ran an 18 month state-wide media campaign to help improve rural birthing options for women in Queensland, she worked on the Medicare for Midwives Reference Group and Implementation Liaison Group, she's worked on Maternity Guidelines, and consistently meets with MPs to lobby for change. She's been part of 2 award nominated journalism pieces on maternity issues, has written many questions for Federal Estimates over the last 4 years, and has helped with our submissions to State-based inquiries into maternity services.

It'll be well worth your time investment to listen in on what she has to say and her guidance for you.

Wonderful work by our local independent midwives.

Our final workshop for the year is tomorrow Sunday!

You are not too late to join us 😁

We found women and their partners were more relaxed and felt more in control with clear unbiased information about potential procedures and, a framework for discussing birthing options.

Women who completed the workshop earlier this year have reported a successful VBAC and a successful homebirth in the last few weeks. 😁✨

We are so privileged to support women and their partners in preparing for birth.

97% of Australian women birth in a hospital. That’s a lot of women who go through a system that is not perfect and there is often a disconnect between expectations and experience.

All birth workers and women want (and deserve) better outcomes. Through education, the sharing of knowledge and empowering women we CAN have a positive impact on experiences and birthing in Australia, no matter how your baby is born.
