Thank you Amy! We know it helps families to read testimonials before deciding where to get support for their baby. We are so proud to be working with Dr Alison Flynn - Tongue Tie specialist with over 44 years NHS experience and 16 years specialising in tongue tie assessment and procedure to correct restrictions. Add to that the expertise of Carol Brown (IBCLC) with over 35 years working in maternity care and 13 years specialising in baby and infant feeding. These lovely women make us feel so grateful they chose to work with us. The compassion, expertise, and experienced advice and support offered to our families gives us the reassurance we would expect for our own family. If you are concerned your baby has a tongue tie and looking to get more information, please do get in touch. We are happy to answer any questions you may have before booking.

Congratulations Frances & James with baby Lorenzo 🫶🏽 🙌🏽: I think I was one of the first due in the group, so I wanted to share my positive birth story!

I had an induction booked for this Friday, but yesterday at 6am I started having contractions. They were quite far apart and manageable at first, but I couldn’t keep anything down, so I popped into triage briefly for an anti-sickness injection. After that I went back home and continued labouring there for a while, letting my body do its thing until the contractions became stronger.

When I arrived at the MLU I was examined and was 2cm dilated. At the time that felt a little discouraging as things already felt quite intense, and they suggested going home for a bit longer. I decided to stay as I felt like my body was really working and I wanted to keep moving forward.

Not long after, everything changed! After one particularly strong contraction the midwife checked me again and I had gone from 2cm to 6cm in about 1.5 hours. It was amazing to see how quickly my body was progressing.

I was then able to move into a proper labour room where I could use the pool and gas & air, and I also had another anti-sickness injection. From there labour continued to move along beautifully and I went from 6cm to fully dilated in around 3 hours. The warm water and the calm environment made such a difference and helped me stay focused and relaxed.

Soon after I started getting the urge to push. I eventually got out of the pool as I was feeling quite warm and moved onto the bed to push.

The pushing stage was powerful and focused, and after about an hour of pushing, our baby boy slid out in one final push. The moment he was born was the most incredible feeling and such a huge rush of relief and joy.

I had been really nervous about having an induction, so I felt so grateful that my body went into labour on its own and that everything progressed so naturally. It ended up being such a positive, empowering experience, and we were so happy to finally meet our beautiful boy 💙

Just wanted to share to remind anyone waiting that our bodies can be amazing and things can move quickly once labour really gets going 🤗

Decision making is difficult at the best of times… but what about when the stakes feel high!

In situations where there is potential for risk and it feels like a major loss or gain, decision making feels so overwhelming. It’s especially difficult when no one can give you the answers… just options… and every option comes with risks and benefits 🫤. Let’s add to that the pressure of ‘doing well’ ‘achieving an ideal birth’ and avoiding a feeling of failure or defeat. The pressure can diminish the feelings of excitement and joy for the special moment you will meet your baby!

You can only do what you can do!!! Gather information
Feel informed
Unbiased advice
Feel confident about one thing! There is no ‘bad decision’ just options. You’ve already done amazing 🤩

We love helping families feel prepared and empowered to make decisions. Reducing the alarm in your brain can help! Having your birth partner feel confident will certainly help!! 🙏🏽

We are sure you will love our workshops, and our Give Birth Without Fear Workshop is perfect for helping with labour progress and knowing how to be a great support for a birthing mum. Most importantly, you will learn how to influence your nervous system to reduce the alarm and feel more confident making decisions 🙌🏽

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)

4) Breastfeeding Workshop - Unique and comprehensive session with videos and practicals. Delivered by IBCLC feeding specialist midwife and tongue tie specialist.
