✨ When families feel informed, respected, and truly supported — birth transforms. ✨

At Birth International, we believe that understanding options isn’t just empowering for women — it strengthens partners, builds confidence, and creates a foundation for safer, more positive birth experiences.

When everyone in the room is heard and valued, the risk of trauma drops, and the opportunity for connected, compassionate care rises.

Let’s keep building a maternity system where respect isn’t optional — it’s the standard. 🌿💛

✨ Creating spaces where birthing women feel safe, supported, and deeply held.

Warm water, soft lights, and a calming atmosphere can transform labour - helping the body open, the mind settle, and birth unfold with confidence. 💫

Every detail matters. Every experience matters.

✨ “It is not a luxury to feel informed, supported, and confident. These feelings are the foundation of safety.” ✨

At Birth International, we believe every health professional deserves the tools and knowledge to help families feel truly safe and empowered.

When people understand their options, feel genuinely supported, and trust in their care, everything changes — outcomes, experiences, and confidence.

Let’s keep building safer, more informed birth journeys, together. 💙🤍

“This mama and I were chatting this weekend about our love for black and white photos…and that some photos just speak to you, tug at your emotions in black and white. I’m a huge b+w editing fan and I love giving families their images in this medium (as well as the color version too 😉). I snapped ’s last kiddo’s birth almost 4 years ago and my most favorite image from that story was in black & white {swipe for that image 😉}. So tell me: are you a straight color only, no b+w kinda photo person, or do you like a sprinkling of b+w images too?!

We don’t arrive at informed choice instantly.

It’s shaped gently over time, through questions, dialogue, and genuine support. 🤍

How many women receive true informed choice in pregnancy or during birth?

There’s something profoundly sacred about birthing in water. The gentle embrace, the warmth, the stillness between contractions. At home, surrounded by softness and intention, birth becomes an act of trust and surrender.

Affirmation cards line the space: quiet reminders of strength and love.

✨ “My body knows what to do.”
✨ “Each wave brings me closer to my baby.”
✨ “I am safe. I am supported. I am enough.”

Every word, every breath, every ripple holds meaning.
This is birth in its purest form, calm, confident, and deeply human.

🤍 Create your own birth sanctuary with our range of Earthy Birth pools and affirmation cards designed to inspire peace and empowerment in every moment.

A laugh for the morning - I was working on a presentation and asked Gemini AI to create a waterbirth image. The baby had no umbilical cord - so I asked it add an umbilical cord and this is what I got. Enjoy Jane

There’s a big difference between a planned home birth with professional support and a free birth without a trained midwife or doctor. This article by Professor Hannah Dahlen explores why free birth carries much higher risks, even though it may sound similar. Read more and let’s talk about the options. 👉

A free birth is when a woman chooses to have a baby, usually at home, without a registered midwife or doctor in attendance. It’s much riskier than a planned home birth.

The moment power meets love. 💪❤️

Birth is raw, real, and transformative—not just for the mother, but for everyone in the room. Every birth tells a story of strength, connection, and new beginnings.

At Birth International, we honour these moments—and the professionals who support them—with evidence-based education, compassion, and respect for every birthing journey.
