“I’m not sure how I want to give birth” We “I’m not sure how I want to give birth” We hear this all the time and if it’s sitting heavy on your mind too - you’re not alone. With so much outside noise and so many opinions, it can feel overwhelming to figure out what’s “best.” But the truth is, everyone’s ‘best’ looks different - and that’s the beauty of birth. Whether you’re hoping for a vaginal birth, considering a planned caesarean, or still feeling unsure - it’s completely okay not to have it all figured out yet. In Australia, we’re fortunate to have choice and options. And the power to make confident, informed decisions starts with real, honest, midwife-led education. At our Positive Birth Workshop, we’ll walk you through all birth possibilities - vaginal, assisted, caesarean, induction, and the unexpected curveballs in between - so you leave: ~ Prepared for the unpredictable ~ Confident in your preferences ~ Ready to make decisions ~ Based on facts, not fear! We want you to walk into birth feeling calm, in control and able to manage change if it happens. Because it’s not about getting it “right”, it’s about feeling supported, informed, and respected. Our Positive Birth Workshop is led by Lucy, a practising midwife who works on the Birth Unit and supports families through birth most days. With firsthand experience of how every birth unfolds differently, and that no two brith are ever the same, she’ll help you prepare for all the paths possible - so whatever journey you take, it feels like your story. This is your birth, so let’s make sure you feel ready to own it. ✨ #birthchoices #positivebirth #birthwithconfidence #birthpreparation #caesareanawareness #birthandbeyondeducation #antenatalclass #informedbirth #sydneymidwife #manlymums #northernbeachesmums #northshoremums

💧WATER IMMERSION 💧 Water in pregnancy and 💧WATER IMMERSION 💧 Water in pregnancy and birth is more than just relaxing - it can be powerful. Swimming during pregnancy can ease the load on your joints, support circulation, and help reduce swelling. As labour begins, warm showers and baths become incredible tools for non-pharmacological pain relief - helping to soothe tension, reduce adrenaline, and create a calm space to focus and breathe. Water helps soften the body, calm the mind, and support progress in labour - and in some hospitals, you may even have the option of a water birth, staying immersed right through to meeting your baby. Ask your care provider what’s available to you! Want to know when to use water in labour, and how to make the most of it? Join our Positive Birth Workshop to learn how water can help - plus explore all the other non-pharmacological pain relief options available to you. We’ll guide you through every step so you feel confident, prepared, and supported for your experience. Make your booking online at birthandbeyondeducation.com.au We can’t wait to support you on your journey! ✨
Of course, we are ABSOLUTELY passionate about gett Of course, we are ABSOLUTELY passionate about getting you ready for the best, most positive birth experience possible - preparation for your birth is so important BUT it’s about the whole journey! Post birth is equally as important! If you’re trying to figure out which education provider is right for you and you’re considering an antenatal class that crams birth, feeding AND early parenting into one session, please read on…. At Birth & Beyond Education, we believe in doing things a little differently - you deserve it. We separate our birth and feeding/parenting classes, because each part of your journey deserves its own time and attention. Let’s be real - breastfeeding alone deserves its own session. It’s way too important to squeeze into a general class. That’s why we’ve got a dedicated Fourth Trimester & Feeding Workshop, run by experienced, practising midwives who really know their stuff. We don’t believe in overloading you with info that’s just too much to take in all at once. Instead, we deliver bite-sized, easy-to-digest education at the right time for you and your pregnancy, with different midwives leading each workshop to keep things fresh and interesting! Whether it’s a small, intimate group, private in-home, or virtual session, we’ve got you covered. Choosing the right education can feel tricky with so many options out there, but with us, you’ll know you’re in safe hands! 🙌🏼 So, when it comes to preparing for birth (and life after!), we’ve got you. Let’s make it fun, manageable, and something you can actually enjoy! If you’re looking for education you can trust, delivered by midwives who are right there with you in the system, supporting women every day - reach out. We’d love to support YOU! ✨
To the incredible team of midwives I’m lucky to To the incredible team of midwives I’m lucky to work alongside now - and those I’ve had the privilege of working with in the past - Happy International Day of the Midwife! This profession is not for the faint-hearted. It’s early mornings, late nights, weekends, and missed milestones. It’s being there in the unsocial hours, in bent-over positions, with tired feet and full hearts. It’s quiet presence when calm is needed - and loud advocacy when women need a voice. Midwifery isn’t just a job - it’s a calling. It takes grit, grace, compassion, and unwavering commitment to show up, shift after shift, often running on empty but never short on care. We see women and their partners in their most vulnerable, powerful moments. We hold space for fear, strength, pain, and joy. We are there when new life begins - and what an extraordinary privilege that is. To the woman who have trusted us on their journey - thank you. We never take that trust for granted. It’s one of life’s greatest honours to support families through such a powerful transformation. Truly, we are the lucky ones ✨ ~ Lucy.
