Acupuncture in Pregnancy & Birth 🌿

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to support women through every stage of pregnancy; and now, more and more mothers are turning to this gentle, holistic therapy for balance, comfort, and preparation for birth.

✨ How acupuncture can support pregnancy:
Helps ease nausea and morning sickness.
Relieves back and pelvic pain.
Supports better sleep and emotional wellbeing.
Encourages optimal baby positioning.
Can help prepare the body for labour naturally.

As you approach the end of pregnancy, acupuncture can be used to encourage ripening and relaxation; helping the body and mind prepare for birth. Some women also find it helpful for postpartum recovery, supporting hormone balance and energy restoration.

Acupuncture is safe when performed by a qualified practitioner experienced in pregnancy care, and often integrates beautifully with midwifery and holistic support.

🌸 At Connected Midwifery, we love seeing women explore all the gentle, evidence-based tools that honour their body’s wisdom and promote wellbeing during this transformative journey.

In those early weeks, newborn behaviour can feel confusing but so much of it is normal and biologically expected.

Newborns:
-Need to feed frequently (every 1–3 hours)
-Love to be held and close to you (this builds secure attachment!)
-Wake often at night, as their tiny tummies and immature sleep cycles simply aren’t designed for “sleeping through” yet
-Cluster feed in the evenings to boost milk supply and prepare for longer stretches

At times, you might feel worried that your baby is “too clingy” or “not settling properly.” But as Karitane explains, these behaviours are survival instincts and signs of healthy development, not problems to fix.

Learning to read and respond to your baby’s cues helps you feel more confident and reduces unnecessary stress. Remember, you are your baby’s safe place, and responding to their needs builds lifelong trust.

You’re not spoiling your baby; you’re giving them exactly what they need to thrive. 💛

Birth Photography: Capturing the Moment Life Begins 🤍

There are few moments in life as raw, powerful, and sacred as birth.
It’s not just the first cry; it’s the strength, the surrender, the support, the tears, and the overwhelming love that fills the room.

Birth photography is about preserving those once-in-a-lifetime moments that words can never truly describe.
The look between partners, the first touch, the relief, the joy; all captured quietly, respectfully, and beautifully.

At Connected Midwifery, we believe birth is art. It’s emotion, courage, and love all woven together.
Having a birth photographer allows you to relive that story; not just for yourself, but for your child in years to come.

✨ Our midwife Nikita works gently alongside your midwife, ensuring you remain the centre of the story. Check out .birth.photos
✨ No bright lights, no intrusion — just authentic moments frozen in time.

Because your birth deserves to be remembered.
Every detail. Every feeling. Every breath. 💛

Many women swear by gas & air (nitrous oxide) as pain relief during labor, but did you know its effectiveness isn’t just about the gas itself? The secret lies in the breathing technique!

When using gas & air, women take slow, deep, controlled breaths through the mouthpiece, which naturally lowers stress, regulates pain perception, and promotes relaxation. This is why some believe that using a snorkel mouthpiece mimics the same effect—helping women breathe deeply while biting down for a sense of grounding.

Birth is fascinating, isn’t it? We often underestimate the power of breathwork in labor, when in reality, our breath is one of the strongest pain management tools we have.

Have you tried gas & air before? What was your experience like? 🌬️😂

Did you know there's now a new non-invasive fetal Rhesus (Rh) blood group test available? This test allows us to determine your baby’s Rh type during pregnancy from a simple maternal blood sample.

Why is this important? Traditionally, all Rh-negative women received anti-D injections during pregnancy to prevent sensitisation. But with this screening, we can see if your baby is Rh-negative too, meaning you may not need anti-D unnecessarily.

✅ Evidence-based support:

Ask us about this option at your next appointment; we're here to help you make choices based on your body and your baby.

Creating Your Birth Plan: Your Voice, Your Vision, Your Birth 🤰

A birth plan isn’t about controlling every detail; it’s about clarity, confidence, and communication.
It’s your opportunity to express what matters most to you during labour, birth, and the hours that follow.

✨ Why create a birth plan?
Because when everyone on your birth team understands your wishes, you’re more likely to feel respected, supported, and in control; no matter how your birth unfolds.

✨ What to include:
Your preferences for birth environment (lighting, music, privacy),
Who you want present,
Pain relief options (natural, pharmacological, or both),
Positions you’d like to use,
Immediate skin-to-skin and newborn care wishes,
Feeding intentions,
Preferences in case of intervention or transfer.

✨ Remember:
A birth plan isn’t a rigid script; it’s a conversation starter between you, your partner, and your care providers.
It’s about collaboration, not control. 💛

At Connected Midwifery, we love helping women design birth plans that honour their values while keeping flexibility and safety in mind.
Because your birth should feel yours, every step of the way.

We’ve all heard it “Just put your baby to bed earlier and they’ll sleep better.”
But according to evidence from the Possums Sleep Program, it’s not that simple.

Every baby’s sleep is influenced by biological rhythms, light exposure, feeding patterns, and emotional connection; not the clock.
For many families, enforcing early bedtimes can actually lead to more resistance, shorter naps, and frustrated evenings.

✨ Instead of chasing a “perfect bedtime,” focus on:
Responsive settling and following your baby’s cues.
Getting plenty of daylight and play during the day.
Keeping evenings calm and connected, not rigid.
Letting your baby’s sleep develop naturally over time.

The truth? You don’t need to “fix” your baby’s sleep. You just need to understand it. 💛

Is your first appointment booked in late?

We've heard from mama's who aren't booked in till 23+ weeks locally within our community and region, due to a broad range of situations. If this is you, please don't wait to receive care this late! Reach out today and find out more about our shared care model, that is completely BULK BILLED.

We can see you as early as conception, all the way up until 6 weeks post birth. You will still see our local hospital throughout your pregnancy and you will still birth with the local hospital too. But this model of care and service is here to support you, educate you, empower you and equip you with the appropriate testing/screening along the way.

Please spread the word, so mama's know that they don't have to wait, they can access care now!
