You Don’t Have To Choose Between Support & Affordability 🤍

We hear it all the time…

“I’d love more support, but I just can’t afford private care.”

And honestly? That’s such a valid concern 💛
Pregnancy and growing a family already comes with so many expenses.

But here’s something many women don’t realise:
There may be ways to access extra midwifery support without paying thousands.

Through Bulk Billed Shared Care (for eligible families), you can receive:
🤍 More time to ask questions
🤍 Continuity and familiar faces
🤍 Guidance and education
🤍 Help understanding your options
While still remaining connected to your hospital or maternity provider.

Because feeling supported shouldn’t be a luxury.
It should be part of good care.

If cost has been the thing holding you back from reaching out, send us a message.
We’re always happy to talk through what options might be available.

General information only. Individual eligibility and care pathways vary; please discuss your personal circumstances with your provider.

Antenatal Expressing Kits Available 🤍

Did you know we have antenatal expressing kits available? ✨

Some women choose to learn about and prepare for hand expressing colostrum in the later weeks of pregnancy.

Having a kit ready can make it easier if you plan to collect and store colostrum once your care provider has advised it’s appropriate for you 💛

Our kits are designed to be simple and convenient, and we’re always happy to provide general education about:
✨ what colostrum is
✨ why some families choose to collect it
✨ safe storage and transport
✨ how it may be used after birth

If you’d like to organise a kit or chat about whether this is something to discuss with your provider, send us a message 🤍

📩 We’re here to help you feel prepared.

General information only. Please seek individual advice from your maternity care provider before commencing antenatal expressing.

Home Birth Myths: Let’s Break Them Down ⬇

There are many misconceptions about home birth that can create unnecessary fear; so let’s debunk some of the most common myths.

Myth #1: Home births are unsafe. In reality, for low-risk pregnancies, home births attended by qualified midwives are a safe and viable option.
Myth #2: There’s no pain relief available. While hospitals offer medical pain relief, home birth can incorporate alternative methods like water immersion, gas, sterile water injections, tens machine, breathing techniques, and hypnobirthing.
Myth #3: Home births are messy. Our midwives are skilled in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment during home births.

At Connected Midwifery, we ensure you have a safe, supported, and beautiful birth experience, right in the comfort of your own home ❤

Early labour doesn’t always look like the movies 🎬

It’s often quieter, slower, and a little uncertain at first.

Many women describe sensations like:
✨ period-like cramps
✨ lower back ache
✨ tightening that comes and goes
✨ waves that are noticeable but manageable
✨ needing to rest or go inward
✨ feeling excited, emotional, or unsettled
✨ loose bowels or nausea

It can feel like your body is gently warming up for the work ahead.

For lots of families, early labour is about:
💛 staying comfortable
💛 keeping energy up
💛 finding calm
💛 having support and reassurance nearby

And because every labour is unique, what you’re feeling matters.

If you’re unsure whether what you’re experiencing could be labour, reach out to your maternity care provider for individual guidance 🤍

You’re not silly for asking.
You’re preparing for something big.

📩 If you want education around birth preparation and understanding the stages of labour, we’re always happy to help.

TENS Machine Hire Available 🤍

Did you know we offer TENS machine hire for labour? ✨

Many women like to explore TENS as an option for comfort in early labour and during the build-up of contractions.

A TENS machine works by delivering small electrical pulses through pads placed on the back. Some families find it helpful as part of their overall coping toolkit alongside movement, water, breath, and support people.

If you’re interested in learning whether a TENS machine might be something you’d like available for your birth, we’re happy to talk you through how it works and how to organise hire 💛

📩 Send us a message anytime for availability and details.

General information only. What works in labour is different for everyone — please discuss your individual needs with your care provider.

Postpartum care should not be a privilege. It should be standard 🤍

And here’s something we want every mum to know:
Even if we weren’t your care team during pregnancy or birth; you can still access support in the postpartum period.

Because the early weeks after birth can feel like:
+Survival mode
+Sleep deprivation
+Emotional overload
+Feeding stress
+Loneliness

And sometimes what mums need isn’t a diagnosis…
It’s connection, reassurance, education, and a safe space to be seen.

Postnatal support matters just as much as antenatal care.
Not just for physical recovery but for the whole transition into motherhood.

If you need support, we’re here.
📩 Reach out anytime.

Somewhere along the way, many parents were made to feel like frequent waking, short naps, and wanting to be held must mean something is wrong.

But in the early weeks and months, most babies are simply adjusting to life outside the womb.

It’s common to see:
✨ waking often (day and night)
✨ short sleep cycles
✨ cluster feeding
✨ day/night confusion
✨ a strong need for contact and reassurance

This isn’t a failure.
It isn’t bad habits.
And it isn’t you doing it wrong.

It’s newborn behaviour 💛

That doesn’t mean it’s easy — because exhaustion is real and support matters.

If you’re needing guidance, reassurance or practical strategies, we’re here to help.
✨ Nikita is also a qualified sleep consultant, and families may be able to access support in the early postpartum period through a postnatal review appointment (eligibility applies).

We also love trusted resources like Karitane and the Possums approach for gentle, evidence-informed education.

📩 Reach out if you’d like to chat about what might suit your family.

General information only. If you’re worried about feeding, growth, breathing or your baby’s wellbeing, seek timely medical review.

Somewhere along the way, many women started believing they’re meant to just… cope.

Go to the appointments.
Google the questions later.
Lie awake at night wondering if everything is normal.
Try to make big decisions with very little support.

But pregnancy was never meant to feel isolating.

You deserve:
✨Time to ask questions
✨Reassurance when your mind is busy
✨Someone to explain your options
✨Care that feels personal
✨A familiar face in your corner

Support doesn’t replace your hospital or medical care; it strengthens it 💛

If you’ve been wishing you had more guidance, more continuity, or simply someone who knows your story, we’re here.

Send us a message anytime to explore what support might look like for you.

When people picture motherhood, they often see:
🍼 feeding
👶 cuddles
📸 milestones
💕 love

But there’s another side that isn’t always visible.

The constant mental tabs open in your mind like:
🧠 When did baby last feed?
🧠 Are they sleeping enough?
🧠 Am I doing this right?
🧠 Why does everyone else look like they’re coping better?
🧠 What have I forgotten today?

It’s the planning.
The remembering.
The anticipating.
The worrying.
The holding of everyone else’s needs.

And it can feel heavy.

If you’re feeling emotional, stretched thin, snappy, or exhausted; it doesn’t mean you’re failing.

It means you’re carrying a lot 🤍

You deserve support, reassurance and care too; not just baby.

📩 If you need someone in your corner, reach out. We’re here 🤍

Dear Partner Who Feels Helpless 🤍

If you’re watching someone you love move through pregnancy, birth, or the early weeks with a baby…
and you feel unsure how to help; this is for you.

You might not know the right words.
You might wish you could fix the tears, the exhaustion, the overwhelm.
You might feel like whatever you do, it’s not quite enough.

But here’s what matters most:

You being there.

Sitting beside her.
Holding her hand.
Bringing her water.
Taking the baby so she can shower.
Telling her she’s doing an incredible job.

You don’t have to solve everything.
Your presence is powerful.

This season is new for you too.
You’re learning how to be a parent, a support person, a steady place in the middle of big change.

And even if it doesn’t always feel like it — you are making a difference 🤍

Love, your midwives
