However you are planning to birth your baby, Doula support really does make a difference. I’ve been reflecting on my work over the last year and these are my statistics from 2025.
42.9% of my clients birthed in the midwife led birth center, the national average is around 5-10%
21.4% were at home, the National average is around 2%.
14.3% of my clients had an unplanned caesarean Birth in line with The World Health Organization (WHO) which maintains that, while essential for safety, cesarean section (CS) rates should ideally be 10–15%.
From the very first time we sit down together, I’ll start giving you the tools, information and resources you need to plan the kind of birth that feels right for you. But more importantly, I’ll spend time getting to know you. What makes you feel safe, What helps you relax. What you’re excited about. What you’re worried about.
Because birth isn’t just physical (although I absolutely have plenty of comfort measures up my sleeve) it’s emotional too. You need to feel safe. Your partner needs to feel safe. And that only happens when we’ve had the time to talk things through, make plans, and put the right support in place so that when labour starts, you can just focus on birthing your baby.
I might come along to appointments with your consultant or midwife if that feels helpful, making sure you feel informed and supported. When labour begins, I’m almost always with you at home in those early hours (unless baby has other ideas!), helping you create a calm space and supporting a gentle transition when we meet your Midwives.
I’ll make sure your midwife understands how you’d like to be cared for. While she focuses on the clinical side of things, I focus on you, your comfort, your confidence and especially the atmosphere in the room. That might look like back rubs and warm water, but it also means making sure everyone has drinks, snacks, reassurance, the right music, clear information if plans need to shift, and steady encouragement throughout.
And when you’re tucked up in bed with your baby in your arms, I’ll quietly slip away, knowing you felt supported every step of the way.

I can’t wait, there is nothing I enjoy more than getting physically prepared for Birth (except getting mentally prepared,)
It’s like a cocktail, you need all the right ingredients!

We are looking forward to seeing you at one of our November Birth and Baby Hubs - come along, get warm, eat cake and chat about pregnancy, birth and early days with your new baby. It's a great chance to chat with our birth and postnatal doulas, and breastfeeding counsellors as well as meeting other parents.

This month we are excited to a special topic at our Cambridge Hub. Join Becky T at the birth and baby hub drop-in session to learn how simple movements, positions, and exercises can make birth smoother and more comfortable. You’ll discover how your pelvis, muscles, and your baby work together during labor—and how practical biomechanical techniques can create more space, ease progress, and support an easier, more comfortable birth. Perfect for anyone wanting to feel informed, confident, and connected to their changing body.

See you in Cambridge or Saffron Walden or both!

See you there!

I can’t wait to see how you have all grown!
The very best thing about living in the middle of my community is that I get to bump into you, on the common, up the park, swimming at the pool, in the pub garden.
I’ll see you all together on Sunday ❤️

🌼 4 Days to go for our Summer Picnic! It's going to be a hot day, so do make sure to bring lots of water and sun cream, along with your picnic. We'll have a couple of gazebos to shelter under.
