Pure joy.

Every single woman and birthing person and partner deserves this beautiful sense of joy and comfort on their pregnancy journey. I hope we can all work together to bring our bodies back and to connection within and with our babies.

Let’s swing
Let’s move
Let’s reconnect
Let’s dance
Through pregnancy, birth and parenthood.

With love, trust and utter respect.

Thank you to , .fromabridge for giving me the space to speak on this platform. I can’t believe we have surpassed 1million views. While we edited the conversation we shared, this is every inch me, Victoria, speaking from my heart..

The messages and comments received have been overwhelmingly kind and supportive. I’m so grateful to everyone who took the time to comment and for being here on the Womb & Bloom feed. I honestly wasn’t expecting this.

I appreciate there will always be people who unpick or challenge what is said. Please know that I have no intention of creating a polarised view of birth. I honour and respect every way babies are born. What matters to me is that women and birthing people receive safe, thorough, compassionate, consented and truly informed choices and quality care.

🌱I believe deeply that we must invest more in our maternity services.
🌱I believe midwives deserve the support, resources, and staffing required to offer the gold standard of care that birth in the UK should receive.
🌱I believe midwives & all healthcare professionals should have the time and space to fully support the powerful, transformative and profound experiences of pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period.

Right now, maternity care is underfunded,overstretched and hugely undervalued - despite birth being a universal human experience. Every one of us was born. This should unite us, not divide us.

The World Health Organization (WHO) stated in 2014 that “every effort should be made to provide caesarean sections to women and rates above 10% are not associated with reductions in maternal or newborn mortality. (WHO, 2015). In the UK, the latest national caesarean rate is 42% (2023–2024), though many trusts report significantly higher rates today (NHS Maternity Statistics). I quoted a higher figure based on stats I am learning from in the maternity arena.

Maternal mortality for 2020-22 rose to its highest point since 2003–2005. During 2020-23 there were an estimated 9.8 deaths per 100,000 maternities—higher than countries such as Norway, Iceland and Australia, where rates are below 3 per 100,000 (UK Parliament, 2025).

This is the first in our series of posts where the Womb and Bloom group share about each other and our experiences of working together. I’m (Victoria) kick-starting it by sharing about wonderful doula, doula teacher and energy healer who I know and LOVE 🫶 You can find out more about her on the website in our link in bio or go direct to Aimee’s IG page

I’ve known Aimee for over 5 years and have had the joy of working alongside her as a shared-care doula 🌿✨ with a number of clients. I adore the way she supports women and birthing people through pregnancy, birth, and the tender transition into parenthood.

In her antenatal sessions, she blends evidence-based wisdom with holistic practices like breathwork, body mapping + energy lifting 💫. She creates the most beautiful space to drop out of your head and into your body + intuition. She is dedicated, present and a trusting force in the birth space and is so giving at supporting in the postnatal period, offering beautiful ceremonies such as closing the bones to recognise and solidify the transition of birth into motherhood.

I’ve also experienced many of Aimee’s incredible healing sessions myself and can honestly say she has a gift for holding space to tune in deeply and reconnect with yourself.

This Autumn, Aimee is hosting her Sacred Birth Mentorship once again 🌸. I joined this program years ago, and it was here that Womb and Bloom was born. It allowed me to reflect, journal, meditate + connect in ways I had never gifted myself before—all held so beautifully by Aimee.

Go check out her page + website to learn more about her incredible work as a doula, doula teacher + energy healer ✨💛

As a collective of independent midwives, birth and postnatal doulas, acupuncturists, craniosacral therapists, osteopaths, IBCLC lactation consultants, and more, we love working together — not only to support our clients, but to lift and nurture each other too. 💛

Since launching Womb & Bloom, our connections have grown deeper, and our appreciation for each other’s unique strengths and practices has only expanded. Because we’re a collaborative bunch (this platform really is a passion project!), we thought it would be beautiful to spotlight one another here on our feed over the coming weeks.

Each post will be written from a place of real experience — sharing what it’s been like to know and work alongside these incredible women.

To start us off this week, I’ll be sharing about the wonderful , and my own journey working with her as a doula and in healing, meditation, and sacred circles. 🌿✨

Thank you Emily for setting the record straight. For more info about Emily, you can find her details here on our platform or go direct to Emily’s IG page or website. X

A nonsense statement by DT that speaks volumes!

Donald Trump’s statement yesterday about paracetamol use during pregnancy causing Austism is a damaging one on so many levels.
- Damaging for the expectant parents out there who are currently pregnant and now wondering what is safe to take when they are in pain or unwell.
- Damaging for the new parents who are processing their pregnancy and birth experiences and now carry anxiety around whether their medication choices will have caused autism in their sweet newborn.
- Damaging for the parents like me who have incredible children who have been diagnosed with Autism - how dare Trump insinuate that Autism is a ‘problem’ that needs curing, let alone that it’s my fault for treating the fever | experienced during pregnancy.
Please do not take your medical advice from him, the internet, instagram, or anyone other than a medical professional who can back their statements and claims up with peer reviewed, evidence based and up to date research.
Paracetamol remains safe to take in pregnancy for most people, but please ask your own care provider if you are concerned about it!!

This podcast is fantastic! Michel Odent has been instrumental in sharing his perspective as both an obstetrician and birthworker but also frustratingly as a man! This writings and wisdom have He recognised the industrialisation of childbirth and highlighted the vital role of midwives. It’s a powerful conversation worth listening to. We all have a responsibility to carry forward his legacy and spark a revolution!

Michel Odent asked the politically and socially incorrect questions that no one else was brave enough to ask. Michel passed away last week, this week podcast ep. 1661 offer an Ode to Odent with a broad sweeping summary of his work.

Repost . Check out this fabulous first time homebirth family, supported by Daisy as their Independent midwife. Go to for the rest of the birth story and part 2 of the reels. You are in for a treat. I have watched 3 times already! The two dogs are precious!

Are you pregnant and due this Winter? Daisy is available for booking as your Independent midwife. All Antenatal and postnatal appointments are held in the comfort of your own home as well as on call availability for you in labour at home and if you choose a Homebirth. Go direct to Daisys website via her IG page or via Womb and Bloom link in bio. Womb and Bloom is a passion project funded on a shoe string with every penny of donations from bookings put directly into our access fund. The platform relies on the community to build it and everyone is autonomous, meaning they look after their own fees/pricing. We all grow together ❤️

Think homebirth is just for 2nd time Mamas’? Think again!
Freya & Ed booked their maternity care with me, early in their first pregnancy. The pregnancy progressed beautifully, Freya remained really well, and grew beautifully! I spent many hours with her & Ed, offering basic antenatal care as well as getting to know them, their wishes and hopes for the labour and birth, and building a loving and nurturing relationship with them.
There is so much evidence that doing this with families improves safety for mothers and baby’s during birth and the postnatal period (plus it’s SO LOVELY!)
It was Freya’s first pregnancy, and like so many women, she’d heard many ‘horror’ stories of women’s birth experience. She knew that her best chance of achieving a positive birth was to invest time, energy and money into ensuring she was adequately prepared for the big day. It was an incredible pleasure to be a part of this.
Freya & Ed’s fur baby pugs, Percy & Luna, were never far away during every antenatal appointment, and throughout the labour and birth. They are a key part of Freya & Ed’s family and it was so important that they were included!
Freya’s labour started at 41+2, with some mild period pain…. Continued over on daisys IG page…..

I saw this reel last week and it hasn’t left me so Im putting it up on our feed.

As a student midwife and doula I have witnessed this a lot. But thank you , you are spot on, this simple act of seeing someone is exactly what we can all do that will always bring back connection, presence and love. It’s really this simple.

✨Human meeting human
✨Woman meeting woman
✨In the room.

The humanisation of birth work. It’s that simple. Eye contact, gestures, simple acknowledgment, words, compassion. Always remembering that birthwork requires love and not fear.
