💛 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. 💪

✂️ Cutting Your Baby’s Cord

One of the most memorable moments after birth is cutting your baby’s umbilical cord. This is the cord that’s been your little one’s lifeline during pregnancy, carrying oxygen and nutrients while they grew in your womb.

Once your baby is born, the cord is usually left to pulse for a little while (delayed cord clamping), giving your baby extra blood and iron stores for a healthy start 🩸

When it’s time, the cord is clamped in two places and cut in between. It’s completely painless for your baby and often a special moment for a partner or support person to be involved in 🤍

The little stump that’s left behind will dry up and fall off naturally within 1–2 weeks, leaving your baby’s belly button.

Such a small but powerful milestone in your baby’s journey earth side 🌏 💫
