You’ve heard us talk about TENS machines here before, we discuss them in our birth classes - we’re obsessed with them. And we know you will be too.

A TENS machine is Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.

A small handheld device that delivers gentle electrical impulses through pads placed on your back. These impulses can help manage discomfort in labour by stimulating endorphin release and interrupting pain signals - giving you a portable, non-pharmacological tool that you control.

It can be especially valuable during the early phase of labour and for the journey into your chosen birthplace, helping you stay comfortable, focused, and in control as things begin to build.

Here are our midwife tips for using a TENS machine effectively:

✨ Practice beforehand
Trial your TENS before labour day and ensure your birth partner knows how to operate the controls - especially the BOOST function - so there’s no troubleshooting mid-contraction.

✨ Start earlier than you think
Once contractions become noticeable, begin on a low setting and allow the intensity to build alongside your labour.

✨ Choose an obstetric-specific device
Opt for a maternity/obstetric TENS machine with TGA-approved pads. Generic or sports TENS units often lack labour-specific features - including the essential BOOST button for contractions.

✨ Placement is individual
Pads should be positioned where sensations are strongest for you. While standard placement is on the lower back, many find comfort adjusting the lower pads toward the hips or sides - follow your body.

Preparation builds confidence 🤍

We cover practical tools like TENS use in our classes to help you feel informed, capable, and ready for the range of birth experiences ahead.

We recommend to hire or purchase with many private health funds contributing to the cost - just check with your fund. Link in bio to place your order!

You are not a bystander in birth 🤍

To the birth support person - you are involved from the very beginning.

From getting to the birthing place safely…
pointing out milestones on the way like a quiet countdown…
building toward that moment together.

You’re there holding, supporting, hydrating, setting the space, protecting the calm.

You have many roles:
A cheerleader.
A personal trainer.
A protector.
A grounding presence when things feel intense.

Birth is not something you just witness - it’s something you actively help shape.

In our workshops we explore practical, meaningful tools to help support people step confidently into this role - because preparation makes all the difference.

Most hospitals allow two support people at your request, and choosing who stands beside you matters.

This is such an important experience to step up for, lean into, and be part of ✨

Birth truly is a miracle 🤍

The tiny lips, the delicate fingers and toes, the soft, warm skin, the fresh new-baby scent… that first moment you meet your little one – pure magic ✨

Every baby, every birth, is a reminder of just how extraordinary life is.

And when you leave the hospital, the support doesn’t stop there. There are so many wonderful services we recommend, to help you navigate those first weeks at home. From postnatal midwifery appointments in clinic with me, Lucy, in the first 2 weeks (Medicare rebates coming soon), to at-home support with Tati or connection and baby massage with Charley these incredible providers are here to hold, guide, and support you through this special time 🤍👶🏼

07/02/2026

Are you looking for independent, highly experienced, midwife-led antenatal classes that are comprehensive - but don’t overwhelm - and are actually fun?

A space to connect with each other and strengthen your bond 🤍.

Where birth partners don’t feel like a spare part, but part of the team.

Where teamwork goes to the next level

Where you learn what questions to ask - and feel confident in the decisions you may face along the way.

Where open, honest conversations with your care provider feel possible and where you gain real understanding of birth, feeding and early parenting.

Because knowledge is power. The more understanding you have, the calmer you feel - and calm supports your hormones to do what they’re designed to do… leading you to that magical moment of meeting your baby ✨

Our classes are small and supportive with insights from real clinical experience - designed to build confidence, reduce fear and prepare you for what lies ahead.

Trusted by obstetricians and midwives across Sydney, we’re truly honoured to be chosen to walk this journey with you 🤍

MidwifeLed PrepareForBirth

Friends who learn together, stick together. ✨

Pregnancy is such a unique season - and doing it alongside a friend, sister, colleague, or someone walking the same path makes it even more special.

Learning together, asking questions together, sharing those “is this normal?” moments… it creates a connection that goes far beyond the classroom. 🤍

If you’re pregnant, reach out to the other pregnant women around you. Book into classes together, then keep the connection going - coffees, walks, the occasional moan, lots of laughs and reassurance.

There’s something incredibly grounding about being seen and understood by someone who’s right there with you. Same journey, same stage, same questions.

What better way to build your village than learning and growing together 💫

Midwife-led classes: why is this super important? ✨

Midwife-led birth education matters because the information you receive should be current, evidence-based, and grounded in real clinical experience. Our small group of midwives all work clinically, meaning we stay up to date with policy changes, hospital practices, and the decisions you may need to consider - especially as you get closer to meeting your baby.

We are deeply passionate about real, honest, positive education. The kind that empowers you, comforts you, keeps you grounded, and helps you feel confident in your choices throughout pregnancy, birth, feeding, and the fourth trimester.

If you’d like to chat about our offerings and see if we’re the right fit for you, reach out via phone, email, or DM. We’re always here to help - but we’re pretty confident that with our passion, knowledge, clinical expertise, and continuity of care, you’ll feel supported, informed, and truly held as you prepare for birth and beyond.

We can’t wait to welcome and support you through this incredible journey 🤍
