A really common mistake (which I made for my first birth!) is to go into birth assuming that midwives/OBs can calm us and tell us how to birth.
The truth is, birth is extremely HORMONAL and emotional and there is little a careprovider can do once a women enters her labour in a panic response.
(the work and preparation is needed BEFORE labour day)
Enrol together for a GREAT birth course to be ready in a great mindset BEFORE labour begins.

Another common mistake is women, supporters and partners, going into birth THINKING that are well prepared!
For example, thinking the hospital course is enough - when it barely scrapes the surface.
For example, listening to tons of podcasts that can make us feel well educated, but maybe not get us prepared in the positive way we actually need once the hormones get intense.
For example, thinking online videos for education are enough - when the HUGE value is in face to face work.
For example - knowing things in THEORY, but not having worked them deeply into our body wisdom yet.

Hire the right people for the right job!
A midwife is great to have at the birth, especially for the medical midwife care. BUT, for extra emotional support and personal care during EVERY day of your pregnancy and every hour of your early labour and birth, it is a BIRTH DOULA that women hire.
Let's talk.

I have learnt so much during my life, my births, and my career as a Birth Worker.
Long, long, ago, when I birthed my first child, I had no birthing wisdom of any kind, I was panicking and fighting my own body during that birth and it meant that birth felt torturous and scary.
The Birth Course I had attended gave me nothing to ground me and nothing to have faith in. I didn't even know what was happening to my own body.
A year after my birth, I was awakened to the world of excellent and amazing birth education. (examples such as: Hypnobirthing, Embody Birth, Calm Birth, Shebirths, Birth Into Being etc)
Fast forward fourteen years and I’ve now guided over 1,000 families as a Private Birth Educator, and I have guided and emotionally supported at least another 2,000 families as a Doula, Counsellor and Birth-Community-Project Coordinator.

Natalie's support, experience and knowledge is amazing. I felt so understood, seen, loved, and heard.
You gave me: trust in my body, you gave my hubby: confidence and in-depth understanding of birth.
Your dedication, knowledge, tack, care and diligence were exceptional.
Your teachings protected my headspace and transformed me as a birthing woman.
As a pregnant woman, I wanted childbirth to feel special and celebrated during my care.
Born from this dream, the Newcastle Birth Movement is my gift to the local community, located in Hamilton, Newcastle, NSW.
At the space, myself and our volunteer team, run a counselling room, a preloved maternity clothing room and many wonderful workshops.
We also offer complimentary birth circles, trauma counselling debriefs and doula chats + more.Drop in for a cup of tea if you ever pass through Newcastle!
