Decisions decisions… If it was difficult choosing a pram or car seat, just think about the lack of urgency, the advice, the reviews online, social media videos, and friends/family recommendations… then how you could sleep on it!

During the last few weeks of pregnancy you will make important decisions which will influence your birth and how you feel on the day you meet your baby.

You will spend your first few weeks with baby making so many decisions 🫣. It can be both wonderful and challenging!

Feeling fit and well, confident, and supported will make the world of difference!

If there is a time in life to invest in preparation and education… it’s going to be during the most challenging and most precious time.

Four workshops and your done!

1) Positive Labour & Birth - All the need to know practical stuff delivered by midwives with real experience supporting labour & birth for many years.

2) Give Birth Without Fear - This method offers simple tools to promote a shorter labour and more positive birth. Heavily focused on partner support and understanding how to influence the nervous system.

3) New Baby - Everything you need to know to get baby off to the best start (includes formula feeding)

Abbie & Jack welcomed baby Solstice ❤️ At nearly 38 weeks pregnant I felt reduced movements and went into triage to be assessed. Following assessment and with medical advice, we decided it would be safest to induce labour. We were excited to meet our baby and confident in our decision.

The labour itself is a testament to beyond midwives. I had the pessary inserted and decided not to throw my birth plan in the bin just because things had changed. Me and my husband went through it and looked at what we could still do - I may not be able to have a water birth but I could still use my playlist and create a beautiful environment that would still release natural oxytocin.

When my waters didn’t break on their own a midwife broke them. I then utilised a passive hour (the first of two!) to see if my contractions would start naturally. Beyond midwives taught me to trust my body and that my babies birth was still in my control whilst balancing this with medical advice.

When the contractions started I remembered and worked with two mantras I learnt in the giving birth without fear workshop:

I let my body guide me and stayed mobile which is possible whilst having the monitors on even if it required a bit of manoeuvring. I was able to communicate with my midwife what I needed and they supported me and my husband in achieving that.

I asked for gas and air not realising how far along I was - I had been clear with what pain relief I did and didn’t feel comfortable with and knowing I’d already made those choices made me feel calmer and more in control.
Me and my husband sang along to Simon and Garfunkel in-between contractions and we still managed to laugh and feel peaceful even in a relatively clinical setting. Imagine our surprise when a midwife came to attach a trace on babies head (she loved to kick the monitor off) and told me I was 10cm. After another passive hour and then just over an hour of pushing our beautiful daughter entered the world. I had heard so many scary things about inductions. I felt at peace, in control and full of love. I genuinely don’t think I would have had such a positive experience if I didn’t have the tools from the beyond midwives courses.

Here are just a few things to consider before agreeing to Induction of Labour 🤗

Enquiries around Induction of Labour is one of the most common reasons we are contacted by families. The rates of induction are ever increasing - Post dates, post term, too big, too small, too uncomfortable etc. Sometimes it can be life saving! But this decision requires careful consideration.

After many years as NHS Midwives, we have never understood more about a families journey during pregnancy. Since we opened our doors at Beyond Midwives, it’s helped us to realise how many expectant families are feeling overwhelmed about all the decisions they need to make… and they are all big decisions!

Whether it be all the different equipment choices, financial pressures, packing bags, type of birth, where to give birth, pain relief, vitamin K, how to manage visitors… the list goes on (and we found most of you also decide to move house or start a renovation 😅).

We understand, and we love to inform families so they feel confident in their decision making. This is one of the reasons we created our workshops to be so comprehensive… and importantly to help retain information, welcoming and comfortable ☺️

You will find once you have completed your antenatal course at Beyond Midwives, the support continues. You will have midwives to contact, a huge network to reach out to, free events and informative sessions available to all alumni. 🤲🏽
