Preparing for breastfeeding & postpartum is just as important as planning for birth!

After birth you’ll be recovering physically and emotionally, likely feeling tired AND on top of that - learning how to care for both yourself and your baby.

The more you can know about breastfeeding before you’re DEEP in it the better, we know it impacts whether or not women continue to breastfeed.

Episode 18 of the midwife memo’s is all about setting yourself up before you birth, so that you can plan and prepare to be supported during this big transition.

I’m just figuring it out as I go, and like so many of you, I’m juggling many different roles and sometimes all of them at once!

I love my work as a midwife, I love running my own business and feel SO much gratitude to do the work I do - but it’s not without its challenges…

Being a small business owner means wearing ALL the hats - marketer, content creator, bookkeeper, admin, podcaster, editor + midwife & mum!

We can only do so much and I’m big on outsourcing where possible, and making things easier where you can.

I hope sharing these things helps you feel seen and that I am defintely not ‘doing it all’.. my husband is very much an equal teammate, and we try to manage things so that the mental & physical load of parenting and life admin is shared.

I’d love you to share what you do in your life to make things easier?

Have you checked out the latest episode of The Midwife Memos on preparing to breastfeed? Joelleen .ibclc shares about common challenges such as ni**le pain that can impact your breastfeeding experience - don’t wait til after birth and have a listen now 🎧

I love how Joelleen describes babies first 24 hour sleepiness as almost “not realising they have to work for their food and it’s no longer on tap” via the placenta 😆

Part of preparing to feed your baby means learning about what’s normal and what’s not.

In this episode we cover what to expect in the first few days and weeks so that you can feel a little more prepared!

Are you planning to breastfeed? Then this is the episode for you! There is a lot to navigate after birth and that’s why breastfeeding education in pregnancy is SO important in setting yourself up for a smoother and more support experience.

Joelleen .ibclc shares about normal newborn behaviour, feeding patterns, common challenges and how YOU can be supported in your postpartum.

She also talks about ni**le pain - a common but not normal challenge that many women experience and can lead to stopping earlier than planned.

We also chat about the reasons people stop feeding despite the stats around how many people start off breastfeeding.

It’s full of SO much helpful information and Joelleen shares it all in a way that is non judgmental and really practical, I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode.

Please share with any pregnant ppl and comment: PODCAST for the link 🧡

Your pelvis is SO much more than your pelvic floor, it’s expansive and has capacity!

When you learn this stuff it helps you feel CONFIDENT as you move towards labour & birth.

There is SO much you can do to support space and a smoother labour & birth..

I cover both body prep for pregnancy AND how to use it during labour (+options to troubleshoot if challenges arise!).

It’s all in Your Birth Class alongside a whole heap of birthy goodness that will change the way you feel about birth for you and your support person.

My next classes;
- Saturday 25th March
- Saturday 25th April

After that it will likely be July - date TBC

Birth is one of those things where Instagram tips alone probably aren’t going to cut it… now I clearly LOVE social media for learning AND sharing birthy goodness, but it doesn’t replace a dedicated day of birth chat with your partner/support person, midwife led education, birth and body knowledge + the chance to put it all together and build your birth & postpartum plan

I see it all the time as a midwife — couples arrive in labour having watched all the reels, saved all the posts and bought the birth comb… but still feeling unsure what to actually do when labour begins.

In Your Birth Class we practise the things that make the biggest difference:

✨ how labour works and how to work with whatever scenario comes your way
✨ Tools to work with it - Movement, touch, breath & acupressure
✨ positions and movements that help baby move
✨ what partners can actually do
✨Insider info around how to navigate making decisions, the system and advocacy
✨ Postpartum prep - because it matters as much as your birth plan

My March class is coming up on the 28th and I still have a few spots available.

If you’ve been thinking about preparing for birth, this is a beautiful way to do it.

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum can be beautiful, powerful…
and also a little bit ridiculous.

So here’s your weekly Midwife Meme Drop that I’ve hunted & gathered to bring you some lols!

Whether you’re:
🤰 pregnant
👶 postpartum
🤍 supporting someone through birth
or a fellow birth nerd

I think at least one of these will make you laugh.

Tell me in the comments —
which slide is the most accurate? It’s the chicken one for me, and also why do kids nails grow SO fast?!!

Save this for when you need a giggle later and send it to a pregnant friend.

Wondering how you’ll Manage pain in labour is one of the biggest fears I hear when people come to my birth classes…

BUT here’s what you need to know - understanding the difference between pain we experience from illness or injury can really change the way you think about AND experience pain in labour.

I also think it’s important to acknowledge that most women will describe contractions and birth as painful - but it doesn’t mean it’s scary or something to be fearful of!

It’s pain with a purpose - not something causing illness or injury (I feel like that alone can drop down those tense shoulders 😮‍💨)

It’s pain that is powerful 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

👉🏼Come and learn more ways to change your mindset and your experience with me in Your Birth Class - midwife created and taught, with the hands on and mindset tools to work with birth.
