Birth and Baby Conversations

As part of your plan for being comfortable, resting and working with contractions, include taking your ball in with you. This gives you flexibility and options and it means you have a familiar tool to use as you check in and get settled in your birth room.

With a blend of tips, comment and information for different birth and baby topics, this is an informal podcast with useful episodes.
I want to talk about the many different aspects of labour, birth and life with a baby so you can prepare, learn and think about what could make a difference to you and your family.
After working with expectant and new parents for over 20 years, I know how individual your experiences and needs are so I’m not here to tell you what to do, just to share ideas and information that could be useful.

Each episode aims to be short and interesting, with a practical focus so you can listen to them in bed, as you make a brew or are on the go.

I have put off focusing on making a podcast because of time and perfection but I want to get cracking so you'll be getting it in its raw, unedited form but that feels more natural somehow - the important thing is to get started and to allow it to develop.

So here it is, please do take a listen and please do share it with parents who could benefit from some simple, straightforward information.

A very specific podcast but one which is still relevant for expectant parents across the UK as birthing centre closures and the suspension of homebirth services is happening in many cities.

Do get in touch with any comments or questions and we can also arrange conversations to help you prepare well for labour and birth: [email protected]

I want every expectant parent to feel confident about labour and birth, to have an understanding of the process as well as how a maternity unit works and to feel able to say what you need and to be included in care and decisions.

Please do follow and share - it would mean so much!.

It's really easy to carry tension and not really notice it because you are busy and because you get used to it. But it causes aches and stress and it isn't helpful for labour or with your baby.
