These twins didn’t read the medical textbooks 📚

Born at 41 weeks, 4kg each, laboured at home in water, transferred in when she decided.

Twin pregnancies and birth are not a one-size fits all.

So much of what twin families are told during pregnancy is rooted in fear and not evidence. When families are supported with genuine informed choice, they can make the decisions that feel right for them and their babies.

Midwives, doulas, birthkeepers...if you want to deepen your understanding of twin birth, challenge your own assumptions, and learn how to truly support twin families…

Twin Birth Magic is for you.

📅 18th–19th March
⏰ 10:00–17:30
📍 Folkestone
💷 £250 (payment plans available)
A few tickets remain - link in bio to book.

P.S. Head to the website to read Sophie's twin birth story 👶🏻👶🏻

Did you know you had options for how your baby’s heart rate is monitored during labour? Did you know you can decline monitoring completely? Do you want to know what the research says about it all?

Dr Kirsten Small has written an evidence-based guide all about monitoring your baby in labour - it’s written for women but is useful for anyone working in the birth world: midwives, doctors, doulas, birthkeepers alike. We’d recommend grabbing yourself a copy! (Ours has been devoured already!🤓)

We support your right to choose if and how you want your baby to be monitored during labour.

If you want an in-depth discussion about all your options for birth, including fetal heart rate monitoring, why not book a birth planning session with us?

These can be booked via the link in the bio 🫶

Twin births are special events.

Most folk in the birth world won’t get heaps of exposure to supporting twin families, and even then the dominant discourse around twins is that they’re inherently high risk and all need to be medically managed.

Women expecting twins deserve support that goes beyond extra scans and intense medical monitoring. Support that sees them as more than a walking risk factor, so that they can thrive in their pregnancies.

Understanding the physiology and unique considerations of twin pregnancy through a holistic lens is one way we can better support women.

There are still spots available on this workshop. Book via the link in the bio, or DM us if you have any questions.

We meet in just under 3 weeks 🥳

Yesterday we travelled to London on the train for our 3rd annual training day with Zest

Which means we’ve been doing independent midwifery for almost 3 years! 🥳

We got to see some familiar faces from around the country, met instagram pals. There were newly qualified midwives, midwives who’d been doing it for 35 years…and everything in between.
Experiences and knowledge were shared and there were healthy debates.

It takes courage to step away from the NHS and go independent, so it was nice to be in a room full of people who’ve taken the leap 🙌

3 weeks to go until...

✨ TWIN BIRTH MAGIC ✨

We don't get taught how to support twin pregnancy and birth, and as midwives, doulas and birthkeeepers, we don't frequently get the opportunity to gain first hand experience of this.

We get told twins are a 'complication of pregnancy' that all have to be intensely medically managed, but like with everything in maternity care, there is far more nuance than this.

There is so much focus on the birth - the timing of and the method - and little focus on how to keep the pregnancy healthy, the importance of getting to term and the impact that has on the wider wellbeing of women and babies.

is coming to share everything she's learnt from 30+ years dedicated to twin births - this is real, lived experience.

This is your opportunity to transform the care and support you provide to twin families and to reclaim midwifery knowledge and wisdom.

The question is, are you ready to join us? ⬇️

🗓️ 18th-19th March
⏰ 10:00-17:30
📍Folkestone
💷 £250 (pay in 2, 3 or 4 options available)

You really don’t have to settle for rushed, depersonalised and tickbox-heavy care during your pregnancy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can choose a different path, a path with a midwife who knows you and supports your right to choose.

It’s care where you’re supported to make the choices that feel right to you, where there’s time to discuss all your options, time to discuss your hopes and fears - so that you can have a positive pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience.

It’s care that makes a difference to outcomes, as research shows again and again. 📈

It’s not just about being at home. It’s a complete mindset shift - where you really are the centre of your care.

So, if you’re looking for dreamy, respectful pregnancy care - we’re ya gals 🫶

TRUE STORY 🥲

Giving birth on your back benefits the healthcare professional (they can 'see' what's happening) - but it doesn't generally benefit you, your pelvis or your baby.

In our experience you're unlikely to choose to give birth on your back if you're having a physiological labour and birth - it's generally a very uncomfortable position when you're heavily pregnant and in labour.

We know that Upright, Forward and Open (UFO 👽) positions allow your sacrum to be flexible and the diameters of your pelvis to widen. All this helps your baby navigate your pelvis to be born.

We also know that positions like all-fours, kneeling, standing and lying on your side can be protective against severe perineal trauma (3rd/4th degree tears).

What's really important is that you are supported to give birth in whatever position feels right for YOU. Not what suits your care provider best. And you shouldn't ever be forced to do anything during your pregnancy or birth. Not ever.
