Being a doula isn’t just about support -
it’s about trust, connection, and quietly reminding a woman of the power she already holds💫

Every birth, every family, every story… stays with me 🤍

If you want my boobie biccies you have to have a baby. Naaa kidding 😉 DM me BOOBIE - and I’ll send the recipe.

On the weekend, I had the privilege of undertaking further training in Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) with at the Ibis Hotel.

Continuing to deepen my knowledge in this space is something I’m truly passionate about. Optimal Maternal Positioning focuses on supporting alignment and mobility within the mother’s pelvis during pregnancy and labour. When the body is well-aligned and supported to move freely, it can help create more space for baby to navigate their way through the pelvis, encouraging smoother, more efficient labours.

This work is not about rigid “positions,” but about understanding the dynamic relationship between movement, posture, and physiology. It empowers women with practical, evidence-informed tools to work with their bodies and their babies- something I see time and time again as invaluable in the birth space.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to continue learning, refining my skills, and bringing this knowledge back to the families I support.

If you’d like to learn more about this work, you can connect with Ginny at ginny@fourtrimesters.com.

Choosing the right place to train as a doula matters. I chose Doula Training Academy Australia - Vicki Hobbs because it aligned with my values and the way I want to support women and families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond 🤍

Suddenly feeding nonstop?
Before you spiral - this is NOT low supply 🤍

One minute you’ve got a sleepy little newborn…next minute they’re wide awake, glued to the breast, and acting like they’ve never been fed in their life 😅

Welcome to the shift 🤪

Your baby is more alert now, more aware… and yes, suddenly very opinionated about being on you.
It can feel like they’re not satisfied - but what’s actually happening?

💫They’re building your supply.

💫8–12+ feeds in 24 hours is completely normal.
💫Cluster feeding (hello evenings 👋🏼) your baby is possibly “looping on” the breast - on, off, on, off - sending signals to your body to make more milk.

More crying.
More intensity.
More “is this normal?” moments.

It is.

This isn’t a sign something is wrong.
This is your baby doing exactly what they’re designed to do.

Stay close.
Keep offering the breast.
Trust the rhythm - even when it feels a little relentless 🤍

Calm baby on Day 1?

Ahh yes… the “angel baby” phase 👼🏼
(Spoiler: it’s not personality- its physiology)

Your baby just did the biggest workout of their life… birth. And so did YOU!

Adrenaline is high, they’re alert, wide-eyed, taking you in ✨
And then… they crash.

Cue the deep, sleepy, “why won’t you wake to feed?” vibes 😴

You might need to actually work to wake them for feeds.
Your milk is still colostrum - tiny drops of liquid gold - and your body needs that frequent stimulation to get the memo: “hey, we’re feeding a baby now.”

So no, this isn’t a unicorn baby.
And no, this isn’t a feeding issue.

This is the pause before things pick up.
The calm before the cluster feeding storm 😉

Rest. Snuggle. Offer the breast. Repeat.
Your baby knows exactly what they’re doing - even if it feels a little confusing right now. 🤪

These developmental stages are a general guide, not a rulebook 🤍
Every baby grows and reaches milestones in their own unique time.

Those last few weeks can feel so heavy… the waiting, the wondering, the “is it time yet?” 🤍

But this is where it begins — the practice of trust.

Trusting your baby knows when they’re ready.
Trusting your body knows exactly how to bring them earthside.

Before birth even begins, the dance is already there! Baby leading, body responding, perfectly in sync.

You don’t have to force it.
You don’t have to rush it.

The finale…..
Motherhood is about trusting that all your baby needs is YOU. Your instincts, your love & an acceptance for the unpredictable 🥰

Just trust. ✨

Create the space.
Soften the load.
Quieten the world around her.

And in that space… something powerful happens.

She connects.
She tunes in.
She remembers - she already knows her baby better than anyone else ever could.

No one needs to teach her how to mother.
She just needs the time, the support, and the reassurance to trust herself.

That’s where the magic is ✨
