TWIN BIRTH MAGIC

A 2-day transformative workshop all about twin pregnancy and birth. It's aimed at midwives, doulas, birthkeeepers - and anyone working closely with pregnant women and people.

Tell us your thoughts, we love to hear them. Would you rate anything different?

Pregnancy is a wild, ever-changing ride. Some things are great about it, some things less so 😉

If you’re looking for 10/10 support on your journey - book an intro chat today.

What's really outrageous is that none of this is outrageous.

If you’re looking for that certainty that you’ll be treated with kindness and respect, supported to make the choices that feel right for you and never pushed one way or another - then we’re ya midwives.

This is pregnancy, birth and postnatal care as it should be. It’s not a luxury - it’s holistic, relationship-based care that makes a difference to your outcome.

The skills to support physiological twin birth are disappearing. Not because twins can't birth physiologically - but because we've stopped believing they can.

Not because they're inherently dangerous. But because the knowledge to support them has been systematically dismantled.

Women are choosing physiological birth for their twins. But if we as midwives, doulas, birthkeepers, don't hold the knowledge, who will support them? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Every family who wants a physiological twin birth but can't find support? That's a choice we've taken from them.🙅🏻‍♀️

This workshop is a rare chance to reclaim what's being systematically erased from modern maternity care.

Debs has 30 years of hands-on twin birth experience and she's one of the few still teaching these skills and sharing her wisdom. 💫

💷 £250

We have one spot left if you're due in March.

If you’re still looking for the right birth support, we might be it ✨

If you've been looking for care that's unhurried, personal and judgement-free and you want to know who's going to be there for you in labour - then this is your sign to book an intro chat with us.

This is pregnancy, birth and postnatal care that truly supports you. Because you're bloomin' well worth it.

I had a lot more interventions during my labour and birth than I'd planned for. But, you know me - I also had 3 birth plans 😉

These slides explain the interventions I had and why I agreed to them. Can you see how one intervention can lead swiftly to another?

NICE guidelines recommend offering CTG monitoring and an epidural to all women planning a vaginal twin birth. Unsurprisingly, there isn't evidence showing whether CTG does or doesn't improve outcomes for twins. The epidural recommendation isn't evidence-based either - it's based on 'expert' opinion, with the rationale being to optimise timing if an instrumental or caesarean birth is advised during labour.

I didn't choose these interventions just because guidelines said I should. They were considered, informed decisions made in response to what was going on for me in my labour.

We'll support you, however you choose to give birth or if your birth takes an unexpected path.

Did you have interventions that weren’t part of your plan? How did you navigate those decisions?

In a medical setting, a slowing of labour is often seen as a problem that requires fixing.

The ‘fixing’ means offering you interventions that can lead to other interventions and complications as a result of those. Cascade of interventions anyone 👀

But a slowing of your labour doesn’t always mean there’s a problem and may actually be beneficial.
Researchers in Australia documented midwives experiences of normal labour plateaus, highlighting that birth outcomes were overwhelmingly good in these scenarios.

And as midwives that have supported physiological birth, both at home and in hospital we’ve seen these plateaus with our very own eyes. We’ve supported women who’ve declined the offer of a caesarean birth when they had ‘failed to progress’ go on to give birth vaginally with no concerns.

There are of course times when labour stalls for pathological reasons, and this is why having holistic care and support is so important to identify the differences. Perhaps the most important thing though, is whether or not YOU feel like there’s a problem.

If you’re in this scenario, where labour has slowed and you’re being offered intervention, the BRAINS decision making tool can be useful to run through your options. We have a blog on it, you can find it on the website.

For dreamy, holistic, ‘we ain’t gonna rush you’ care - give us a call 😉

Not anti-caesarean. Never have been.

But if it’s easier to book surgery than to get a midwife to come to your home, something is very wrong with the system.

We're here for women and birthing people's right to choose.

What’s been your experience of either planning a caesarean or planning a homebirth? Tell us in the comment 👇

There are a lot of myths out there about twin birth. Myths that are perpetuated by strangers in the street, well-meaning relatives and healthcare professionals. 🫠

There are extra considerations with twins, but just as with singleton pregnancies there is always nuance and care for women expecting twins should always be through a holistic lens. Unfortunately this does not seem to be happening in mainstream maternity care, with blanket policies applied to all twin pregnancies.

But women and birthing people are wanting to explore different paths and we as midwives, doulas and birthkeepers need the knowledge and skills to support them. We need to reclaim midwifery wisdom, but opportunities to do so are rare.

This is why we’ve invited Deborah Rhodes to facilitate a 2-day workshop all about twins. Debs has a deep passion for supporting twins and a career spanning 30 years in midwifery. This is someone who has dedicated their career to learning about and keeping twin knowledge and skills alive. ✨

🧠 So if you want to increase your knowledge and confidence to better support women and birthing people expecting twins - this workshop is for you.

How on earth did we miss this one off our ‘Phrases that need to go in the bin’ post?! 🗑️

“GOOD GIRL”

Can’t stand it. 🤢

Is it just us?

A small part of us dies when we hear someone say ‘good girl’ to a fully grown woman having a baby. I mean tbh, it's vom-inducing in ANY context when speaking to an adult.

Anyway. If you're looking for respectful midwifery care and support, where you're treated like an adult (!), a human being (!) who can autonomously make decisions about their body - you've come to the right place.

Late to this? Probs!

2016: gallivanting to Glasgow together, midwifing, eating cheese over FaceTime.

2026: it's been far too long since any Glasgow gallivanting has occurred, still midwifing - but on OUR terms...and now we get to eat cheese together irl 🧀

2016 us wouldn't have believed you if you'd said we'd be offering dream team independent midwifery care to the humans of Kent! ✨❤️
