The Birth Nest, Ipswich (2025)

You will feel confident, informed and calm as you create your best pregnancy and birth experience with The Birth Nest. The Birth nest offers answers to the questions you have about pregnancy and birth. In the silence just before sleep, in the car as you drive, as you lay in the bath - belly poking through the bubbles, as you listen to the 'helpful' advice and stories your friends, family and stran

gers offer you on a daily basis. The anxiety creeps in, the doubt takes over and before you realise it you have created fear and tension and talked yourself in to a painful and scary birth scenario. So now its time to make some decisions:

Is this really how you want to remember your pregnancy? Are you actually going to let this be your experience of birth? At what point did you give up on trusting your body? And ask:

Am I ready to change my mindset for the best birth I can achieve for me and my body? Am I ready to learn how to replace the unhelpful reactions in my subconscious with amazing thoughts about how awesome my birth is going to be? Am I committed to trusting my body, which was made to create life and birth babies? Then without pausing for a moment longer, please contact me and find out how The Birth Nest's Services can support you to transform Fear in to Confidence and Doubt in to Trust. The BIrth Nest offers antenatal courses that show you how you can shape and inform your birth choices as well as relaxing therapies and treatments that support a healthy and calm pregnancy and birth. Once baby is here The Birth nest provides Placenta Encapsulation services, postnatal massage and breastfeeding support. There is also a postnatal support group 'The Bump Nest' with an on line community and monthly meet up at Seckford Hall in Woodbridge. STOP thinking that you are the only one that feels like this. You are not. When you work with The Birth Nest you will realise that actually, everything you need is already within you, you just need to change your mindset.

This is a subject close to my heart as I venture back to the land of the living after the most amazing home birth 🤍

For years I have supported decisions to birth at home and attended so many beautiful couples births. BUT services are in the worst state I have ever known them. Under staffed, over worked, culture of intimidation and coercion - the current maternity system is well and truly broken 💔

It would be wrong of me to support couples planning for a home birth without covering some of the tough topics mentioned in this post.

We know that birthing bodies are best left undisturbed and unobserved, however this rarely happens. A home birth can give you the opportunity to follow your body’s lead and with loving support around you, feel fully supported and nurtured.

With midwives in short supply and labour wards closing due to unsafe staffing levels, you really do need to plan for all eventualities and explore what your options are.

Make a plan, know your rights, understand how your body works through labour, discuss your fears and how to alleviate them, build a supportive birth team around you, educate yourself around dealing with curve balls in labour and learn tools to help you trust your body.

How you feel when you birth your baby will stay with you forever, if you can be clear what support you want and discuss your options in pregnancy you have a better chance of birthing your baby with love, respect and power! 🤍

10 years ago this morning, I birthed my 3rd baby at home. She arrived in a hurry and it was the most powerful labour I’d had.

At 12.30am I rolled over to moan at my husband for coming to bed late and with that the first surge hit me and it was intense. I stood up and felt my waters gently streaming. I ventured downstairs and called to my husband to phone for a midwife.

I’m one of those women that goes from fully lucid and definitely not in labour at all one minute to ‘Leave me alone I’m in the zone’ fully in labour in the next minute. All 3 labours have been the same, spontaneous and powerful. However this 3rd labour arrived with such unstoppable force I literally had to just drop to the floor and allow it to take over me.

When I work with couples and share my knowledge and experiences, I follow my syllabus of learning and dive off on different tangents as discussions flow. However underlying all the tips and tools I speak to the subtle art of surrendering to your body. This body that just grew a human child inside of you, that you can trust now, to open and soften and release your child.

You can learn all the techniques you like and keep all the tools you have nearby BUT it is in the doing of nothing ~ ‘no-thing’ that we witness the power of a body and mind to come together to allow birth to unfold as it should.

When you distract your mind and surrender to the flow, however intense it is, your innate birthing instincts take over, you breathe how you need, move in a way that supports the descent of your baby and find comfort and safety in places that feed the flow of hormones needed to open your cervix and birth your baby!

There was no stopping my daughter that day 10 years ago, she literally flew out of me in 3 hours flat. She took me by storm that night and gave me no choice but to just breathe and succumb to her timetable… and to be quite honest that has not changed! She’s a whirlwind who never stops talking and entertaining us with her wit and comical ways. And the art of surrendering has been useful on my parenting journey too 😂
