Meet Dr Jolyon Ford.

Jolyon studied at St Thomas’ Hospital in London and has been working in obstetrics and gynaecology for thirty years. He is passionate about education and has a strong focus on patient-centred care.
He has worked as a consultant in both private and public medicine and is based on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
Jolyon will be taking session 3 of our antenatal course and will talk about some of the common interventions and supports that are available in labour and birth and when they might be considered appropriate. These include: instrumental birth, Caesarean, episiotomy and pain relief. Jolyon will also talk to dads or other partners in an informal setting (while their pregnant other is in a relaxation session with Jo) giving them an opportunity to speak freely and openly about their feelings, and answering any questions.

Tips for when you’re the first of your friends to get pregnant:

🤰 some of your friends may not have a clue what you’re talking about, when you mention placenta encapsulation, delayed cord clamping and active birth.
If your friends love you, they’ll be interested in what you’re going through - most people, especially women, are fascinated with pregnancy, birth and babies.
So go ahead and explain things clearly. There’s a very good chance they’ll be glad you did and feel part of your journey.

As we are both currently working on the same maternity ward, yes I know it’s a bit weird, I thought it would be great to publish a few names that are currently pretty popular here in Victoria, Australia.

I will be running my pregnancy aqua throughout winter due to demand but every two weeks. If you are interested in pregnancy yoga I know some fabulous teachers on the Mornington Peninsula and can point you in the right direction.

🤰Planking in pregnancy

Should you or shouldn’t you?
This largely depends on your strength and ability to plank prior to pregnancy and your current strength and ability.
Listen to your body - it will let you know if it feels wrong and if it does, stop. Your bump will get in the way too at some stage so be mindful of that. Remember you can drop to your knees to regress this exercise. Another great option is switch to a bird/dog. Post about that coming soon.

When I had my daughter Lily, I presumed she would know intrinsically how to breast feed. I knew not to beat myself up about it if it was a bit tricky at first.
However, in the early dawn hours just after her month, I sat with her in my lap feeling very tearful and cross with myself and Lily. Why wouldn’t she latch on? My midwife tried to give me some tips but it was no use. I struggled for a few days, worrying she was hungry. Wondering if I was doing something wrong.
If only I had met Louise back then. A kind and reassuring voice to help guide me through those hazy days.
We are so thrilled that Louise from will be part of our Pregnancy Wellbeing Days coming later on this year.

A fascinating study by looked at water aerobics and the effect
on low back pain in pregnant women. They compared 129 women, randomized to be in an aquatic exercise class once a week during the second half of pregnancy, to 129 women in a control group. All women, subjects and controls experienced more back pain through- out pregnancy. However, women who exercised in the water had significantly less low back pain that the women who did not. These women also had less sick leave secondary to their low back pain. The authors noted that there was no increase in urinary or vaginal infections with water aerobics (as
would be expected). The author
recommended water aerobics as a way to relieve back pain in pregnancy.
“This speaks again to the buoyancy effects of water aerobics”.

I swapped a heavily loaded cheese and ham croissant for a yummy ginger bliss ball packed with pepitas, sunflower seeds and plump dates.
