✨Thinking of Mother Mary on Christmas Eve✨

Every Christmas Eve, I find myself thinking about Mother Mary not as a figure in stained glass, but as a woman. A young Mother, heavily pregnant, travelling far from home, and meeting the mystery of birth in the most unexpected of places.

We don’t know all the details of her birth, but I like to imagine her experience in the same very human way birth unfolds for so many women today.

I imagine her body working just as every woman’s does...surges building, waves moving through her, guiding her baby into the world. Whether those sensations were intense or gentle, whether Jesus was perfectly positioned or took his time finding his way her body knew what to do.

I picture Joseph not as a distant bystander, but as a calm presence. Holding the space. Protecting the quiet. Offering whatever comfort he could even in a humble stable. A partner doing his best, the way so many do.

And Mary herself? I don’t imagine fear. I imagine strength. A deep trust in her body. A steady knowing that she could do this.

After birth, I imagine her cradling her newborn in that soft golden glow the very first breastfeed between mother and child. Maybe it came easily, maybe it took a moment to find the rhythm, just like any new dyad learning each other. And postpartum? I imagine exhaustion and awe, visitors and quiet moments, recovery and bonding… the universal journey of new Motherhood.

Because that’s what strikes me every year, Mary wasn’t just a symbol. She was a mother. A woman who birthed her baby with instinct, resilience, and love just like so many of you❕🤍

And if birth could unfold in a stable, surrounded by animals and starlight, then it’s a reminder that birth doesn’t require perfection only presence, support, and trust.

✨ *If you’re preparing for your own birth journey and want to feel calm, confident, and grounded like this, my next Hypnobirthing Session is now open for booking.** Learn to work with your body, quiet the mind, and approach birth with the same deep-centred trust we imagine in Mary herself.

Unmedical Interference & The Festive Season 👶🏼🎅🏼🎄.

Let’s talk about the increased rates of inductions during the Christmas season. 🧐✨💥

Sadly inductions are increasingly being offered to women who don’t have medical complications. It has become part of western medicine, an impatient and fearful society. Where convenience and control is no longer in the hands of the birthing woman. 🤰🏼❌📣

‘’Induction of labour may be offered (and sometimes requested) around high days and holidays, but it has pros and cons and implications. Which makes a big decision that is worth thinking about carefully.’’ (Dr, Sara Wickham)🌲✨

In conclusion an induction for low risk pregnancies will increase: birth complications, drugs, instrumental birth, caesarean, ptsd + pp haemorrhage. Therefore there are no to little evidence, to suggest positive outcomes to an induction in low risk pregnancies. 💭✨

Although my heart is with women who feel centred and confident in their choices. I believe in informed consent, risks and benefits. Ultimately, birth belongs to you. Although, It is clear to see that pregnancy and birth have become very medicalised. My wish/ aim is to create more conversations around the culture of birth. Our ancestral imprint and to trust the process. ‘… if we leave well alone, it happens at the right time.’’ (Dr, Sara Wickham, p164)

🤰🏼🎄🎅🏼✨🎉💖

Postpartum is Forever

Don't forget to call, when the due dates been and gone, when all the excitement settles down, and the days and nights are long.

Don't forget to message, she needs to know you're there. When all the hype around the news begins to disappear.

Don't forget about her she may have one or two. Even on a familiar path the dynamic is still new.

And don't forget to invite her, though she probably won't go. To know you're thinking of her means more than you could know.

So don't forget the mother, she needs you more than ever. Her baby may be older, but postpartum is forever.

Benefits of a Wooden Comb During Childbirth ✨🌿

A simple wooden comb can be a powerful comfort tool in birth. When you hold it with the teeth pressing into your palm, it activates acupressure points that help distract the brain and reduce the intensity of contractions.

It also serves as a grounding tool giving you something to focus on, helping you breathe, stay centered, and release tension.

Wooden combs are gentle, easy to grip, affordable, and safe to use in any birth setting. They don’t interfere with monitoring or medication, making them a great addition to any birth plan.

Small tool, big support. 🌼

- did you use a wooden comb for birth? 🤍

Meditation is one of the most effective tools for preparing the mind and body for birth.

🌿✨

Regular practice helps train the brain to stay calm under intensity, making it easier to cope with the natural waves of birth.

Here’s how meditation supports birth preparation:-

✨ Reduces stress and fear: It lowers tension in the body, helping you stay more relaxed as labor unfolds

✨ Strengthens body–mind connection: Deep breathing and awareness help you tune into your body’s signals with more confidence.

✨ Improves focus during contractions: Meditation builds concentration, making it easier to stay present rather than overwhelmed.

✨ Encourages better rest: Even a few minutes of mindfulness can improve sleep and overall emotional balance during pregnancy.

✨ Promotes a calmer birth environment: A grounded mindset can help you communicate your needs and stay centered through each stage of labor.

Birth preparation isn’t only physical — it’s mental and emotional too.

Meditation offers a simple, accessible way to build calm, trust, and resilience as you approach your baby’s birth day. 🤍
