“Are you a dirty girl?”
“Oh say it again.”
“ARE you REALLY dirty?”

It’s just a laugh folks, don’t you worry.

Right. Before this turns into something else entirely 😂 let’s talk about the least sexy but most elite post-birth tool ever: the peri bottle.

Because after birth, your v***a and perineum can feel… spicy. Even if you didn’t tear, that skin has been stretched, worked, and might have tiny splits that sting like a bastard when you wee. And that sting can make people avoid peeing, which is not the vibe. Full bladders hurt, increase afterpains, and can raise the risk of UTIs.

So here’s the hack: dilution.
Water is your best mate.

Using a peri bottle or pouring water over your v***a while you wee dilutes the urine so it stings way less. Some people wee in the shower, some lean forward, back or sideways to avoid the sore bits, and drinking plenty helps keep wee less concentrated too. Also please stop scrubbing yourself with loo roll. Gentle dabbing only. Your v***a deserves tenderness, not sandpaper energy.

And while we’re here, yes, there will be blood. Lochia is the normal bleeding after birth and it can last weeks. It changes colour over time, smells bloody and earthy, and can gush when you stand up or feed your baby. This is all very normal, even if it feels unhinged. Change pads regularly, rest more than you think you need to, and trust that your body is clearing itself out and healing.

So no, you’re not “dirty”.
You’re postpartum.
And the peri bottle is there to make peeing less traumatising while your body does its wild, powerful recovery thing.

Happy peeing, you absolute icon 💦✨

Affirmations get written off as fluffy nonsense way too fast.

But your brain literally has a filter.
It cannot take everything in or you’d be overwhelmed constantly.
So it prioritises what feels important.

That filter is your Reticular Activating System.

It’s why you get pregnant and suddenly everyone else is pregnant.
Why you buy a car and see it everywhere.
Nothing changed.
Your brain just started paying attention.

Affirmations work the same way.

You repeat something often enough and your brain goes
Right. This matters.
Let’s support this.
Let’s scan for safety instead of threat.

In birth, that shift matters. A lot.
Less perceived danger means less stress hormone.
More oxytocin means your body can actually do what it’s designed to do.

This isn’t pretending birth is easy.
It’s teaching your nervous system not to panic.

If this made you rethink affirmations even slightly, come to one of our free hypnobirthing taster sessions and see what else you might have been wrong about.

Let’s talk pain relief that actually makes sense.

No side effects.
No waiting around.
No one needing to give you permission.

Our Pain Relief Kit works with your body, not against it.

Using gate control theory, texture and fidgeting, these tools give your brain something else to focus on when contractions ramp up. And that can genuinely change how intense they feel.

Inside the kit
Tactile birth focus balls
Contraction companions
The birth comb

They’re small but mighty.

Use them in triage.
In the car.
On the ward.
At home.
While waiting for a caesarean.
Or literally anywhere your body decides labour is happening.

This is comfort you can rely on.
Pain relief you stay in control of.
Tools that work whoever you are and however you birth.

Pop them in your birth bag.
Thank yourself later.

Comment PAIN RELIEF KIT to get yours.
You’ve got this.

Birth care in the UK isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Policies change.
Timelines change.
What’s offered changes.

Not because professionals don’t know their stuff.
But because they know their hospital.

We work with people all over the country, and the differences are huge.

So use advice as a starting point, not gospel.
Ask what applies where you are.
Ask what’s policy and what’s choice.

Understanding your local setup stops you being caught off guard on the day.

This is how you stay informed, not confused.

Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating today 🎄
We hope it is cosy, calm, chaotic, full of carbs, or exactly whatever you needed it to be.

We also know this time of year does a funny thing where loads of people think
“I’ll wait until Christmas is out of the way, then I’ll start properly.”

Well… that moment is basically here 👀
Christmas is done. The fog is lifting. And if you are pregnant and thinking “right, I should probably do some birth prep”, this is your sign.

We are giving away the first module of our birth prep course for free, so you can dip your toe in without committing to the whole thing straight away.

No pressure. No perfection. Just solid, confidence-boosting prep that actually helps.

Comment PREVIEW and we will send it straight to you ✨

This review says it perfectly.
They didn’t need to go hunting for more info.
No late night Google spirals.
No conflicting advice sending them sideways.

Not because their birth was “perfect”. It wasn’t.
Plans changed. Things got intense.
And still, they felt calm, informed, and involved.

That’s what proper birth prep does.

We don’t teach you how to control birth.
We teach you how birth actually works.
What interventions mean.
How decisions are made.
And how to stay steady when things shift quickly.

So whether birth unfolds smoothly or goes off script, you’re not left feeling confused or powerless.

If you want to see how we do that, comment PREVIEW and we’ll send you the first module of our birth prep course for free.

Being told not to eat in labour.
Physiological birth or induction.
Still happens. Still weird. Still not okay without a proper reason.

Labour is hard work.
Like, Olympic level hard work.
Your body needs fuel to do it.

If someone tells you you cannot eat, you get to ask questions.

Why exactly?
Is this about me personally?
Or is this just a blanket policy?
Are you expecting a caesarean?
Is there a medical reason right now, or is this about convenience?

Because those are very different things.

During an induction, eating is often absolutely fine.
Being told “you’re not allowed” without explanation is not informed consent. It’s just control dressed up as safety.

At no point should food be taken off the table without a clear, individual reason being explained to you.
You are not a passive patient.
You are doing the work here.

And for what it’s worth, we know loads of midwives who would never tell someone not to eat in labour.
Physiological birth.
Induction.
Home. Hospital. Birth centre.

Your body knows how to labour.
It also knows when it needs fuel.

You’ve got this.
Ask the questions.
You’re allowed to.

Pregnancy can feel loud.
Advice everywhere. Opinions you didn’t ask for.
And that low-level anxiety that creeps in at 2am when your brain won’t switch off.

This journal was created to give you somewhere to put all of that.

A few minutes a day to slow down.
To get informed without scaring yourself.
To process what you’re actually feeling, not what you think you should feel.

It’s not just a keepsake.
It’s birth prep that works on your nervous system, not just your to-do list.
Because when you feel calmer, your body responds differently.
And yes, your baby feels that calm too.

You don’t need to do more.
You don’t need to be “positive” all the time.
You just need space to think, breathe, and prepare in a way that feels safe.

Comment JOURNAL and we’ll send you the link straight to your DMs.

Absolutely not!
The people who make a decision to go for a homebirth often do so with lots of knowledge and even if they do it cause it sounds nice, that’s no one elses business.

Homebirth is a beautiful choice for many, and that should be respected like all birth decisions ♥️

Antenatal education and hypnobirthing can help in making these choices ♥️

Birth happens in your nervous system as much as your body.

If your brain thinks you’re unsafe, fight or flight kicks in.
Birth can slow down.
Not because you’re failing, but because your body thinks it’s protecting you.

Your nervous system reacts to perceived danger too.
Bright lights. Being watched. Rushed decisions. Scary stories.

Feeling safe in birth isn’t a bonus.
It’s physiology.

What is Hypnobirthing

Giving birth is an incredible empowering experience. You’ve grown this whole new person from scratch and can’t wait to see their little face for the first time. But before that life changing moment you’ve got to give birth. You are not alone if this thought fills you with anxiety and thoughts of women laying on their backs screaming.... HOWEVER I’m here to tell you that doesn't have to be your reality. Through series of techniques aimed at dismantling your fear and showing you what a badass you really are, you can have a positive birth that you’ll harp on about for years.

And don’t worry, at no point am I going to align you’re chakkra or tell you your va**na is going to open up like a flower (because it won’t) I’m a science kind of women, so you’ll get fact, science and a sprinkling of girl power!

You’ve got this! And I can’t wait to tell you why!!!
