One of our recent 5-star reviews! Thank you so much!

“As first time parents, my husband and I found this workshop to be incredibly informative and interesting. We learnt a lot about what to expect both for the birth and the fourth trimester. Both Lucy and Kristin were super personable, positive and knowledgable. We were grateful not to have to engage in the cringey type activities we have seen in ‘birthing classes’ in the movies!
Thank you so much Lucy and Kristin - highly recommend these workshops for anyone expecting who wants honest and positive info! :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a Google review! We’re so happy you found the classes informative and interesting - it was great having you both join us! Looking forward to hearing your exciting news in a few weeks! ❤️

✨ Posterior Babies in Labour

Around 15-30% of babies begin labour in a posterior position (often called back-to-back). It’s common, it’s normal, and midwives see it most shifts!

When baby’s spine sits against yours, contractions are often felt more in your back. This can feel intense - but it doesn’t mean something is wrong.

The incredible part…

🩷 Your uterus knows exactly what to do.
With time, movement, and support, most babies naturally rotate into a more optimal position during labour.

✨ Things that can help:

• Forward-leaning positions
• Staying Upright, Forward & Open (UFO)
• Hands-and-knees
• Pelvic rocking, hip circles & movement
• Back massage or heat
• Rebozo/sifting techniques
• Staying mobile and following your instincts

Midwives are trained to recognise these positions and provide the right support, encouragement, and comfort techniques to help labour progress safely and smoothly.

If you’d love to understand how your body works during labour, and what you and your partner can do to support rotation, join us at our Positive Birth Class!

Held across Sydney
📍Manly
📍St Leonards
📍Balmain - our classes are taught by clinically practising, highly experienced midwives who deliver honest, realistic education with genuinely supportive expectations.

Empower yourself with knowledge, confidence and practical tools.

We’d love to support you on your journey.

Book now for your 2026 baby! 🤎

✨ Our Recent Fourth Trimester Class in Manly! ✨

What a beautiful morning spent preparing parents for those early weeks after birth. From collecting colostrum to expressing, swaddling, and nappy changing - we cover everything you need before your baby arrives.

We don’t overwhelm you by cramming birth, feeding, and parenting into one day. Instead, we teach in bite-sized, digestible sessions to keep things simple and confidence-building. We also recommend taking each class at different stages of pregnancy to get the most out of them (28-34 weeks for our Positive Birth Class and 34 weeks onwards for our Fourth trimester Class).

When you learn with us, you’re learning with clinical midwives who work in the system every day. Trust the experts - we’ve perfected our classes to make sure you feel supported, informed, and ready.

At Birth & Beyond Education - we’ve got you 🤍

From antenatal classes to postnatal support, we empower parents with knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to navigate pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood 🤍

💛 The Birth Ball – Your Pregnancy & Labour Companion 💛

This simple, inflatable ball isn’t just for exercise – it’s a powerhouse for comfort, movement, and labour support!

During pregnancy:
🤰 Relieves lower back and hip tension
🤰 Encourages good posture and pelvic alignment
🤰 Helps baby get into the optimal position for birth

During labour:
🌊 Supports upright positions to help gravity do its work
🌊 Encourages gentle swaying, rocking, and bouncing for pain relief
🌊 Can be used for hands-and-knees positions, leaning, or sitting to find comfort

A birth ball is versatile, portable, and a perfect tool to feel in control of your body. Bonus: it doubles as a great way to practise labour positions at home before the big day! 🌟

MIDWIFERY CONTINUITY

After months of study, countless hours of academic writing, and rediscovering the art of referencing (🫠), Lucy is thrilled to share that she’s now officially an Endorsed Midwife 🥳

This means she has secured endorsement from the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) and can now prescribe medications (Schedule 2, 3, 4 + 8), order diagnostic tests and ultrasounds and continue to provide women-centred maternity care - but with Medicare rebates.

This makes personalised midwifery continuity of care even more accessible, and we could not be more excited!

Continuity offers incredible benefits for families throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period - having the same clinicians guide and support you through the entire journey can make all the difference.

These appointments can be used in conjunction with your obstetric care and our midwife-led antenatal classes, giving families the absolute package - education, continuity, and care, all led by highly experienced midwives, who work clinically.

From early 2026, Lucy will be offering antenatal and postnatal appointments in clinic at North Shore Private Hospital and also midwifery in the home, for the complete care experience.

Lucy cannot wait to support families, continue educating and feels honoured to be part of your incredibly special time.

Watch this space for clinic days and how to book… 🤍

🤍 Birth Support 🤍

Watching our birth support people step up during labour never fails to amaze us 🫶🏼

They become the calm in the storm, the voice of reassurance - a true rock for the birthing parent.

Our birth classes are designed with them in mind:
🌟 Build confidence and understanding of birth
🌟 We give practical tools and ‘jobs’ to stay involved
🌟 Tips on how to remain calm and supportive
🌟 Empowering them to feel like a valued member of the birth team

Being a birth support person is more than just being there - it’s about feeling prepared, connected, and ready to step up when it matters most. You don’t just witness the birth, you help make it positive. 💕

One of our recent 5-star reviews! Thank you so much!

“We did the Birth & Beyond birthing class in Manly (taught by an highly experienced midwife) and it was awesome! Super educational and insightful, with a really relaxed vibe where we could ask anything. They covered everything - contractions, what to expect at the hospital, pain relief options, and how interventions can unfold. As a pretty clueless dad-to-be, I left feeling heaps more confident and prepared for what’s ahead. Highly recommend it to any expecting parents!”

We’re so glad to hear you’re feeling much more confident and prepared for what’s to come! We can’t wait to hear your story 😍

✨ The Birth Comb – a simple, but mighty little labour tool!

It might look like just a comb, but during your birth experience, it can become one of your best supports! 🪮

When you hold a comb in your hand and squeeze during contractions, the teeth press into acupressure points in your palm. This helps:
💫 Distract your brain from contraction sensations

💫 Trigger the body’s natural pain relief response

💫 Give you something to focus on and ground yourself

Hold the comb with the teeth at the base of your fingers (not in your palm) and squeeze during each wave. You can even pop one in each hand for extra effect!

It’s small, affordable and fits perfectly in your birth bag - simple, effective, and backed by many women who swear by it. 💪
