🤍 FREE Birth Preparation Checklist 🤍

Preparing for your baby's arrival is such a special time, but it can also feel like there's so much to think about.

Over the years, I've found that having a simple plan can help families feel calmer, more confident, and better prepared for birth and the early days of parenthood.

That's why I've created this free Birth Preparation Checklist — a practical guide to help you think about the things that can make a real difference during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Inside, you'll find:
✨ Ways to prepare physically for labour
✨ Emotional preparation for birth
✨ Practical tasks to organise before baby arrives
✨ Tips for planning your postnatal support

You don't need to have everything figured out. Sometimes it's the small steps taken along the way that help you feel more ready and supported.

If you'd like a copy, you can download it via the link in my bio. 🌿

“I just want to know the midwife who will be with me at my birth.” 🤍

This is something I hear from so many women during pregnancy — and it matters deeply.

Continuity of care means having the same midwife supporting you throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period.

Over time, that relationship builds trust, safety, and connection, so when labour begins, you already know the person beside you. ✨

Birth is such an important experience in a woman’s life, and feeling safe, heard, and supported can make all the difference.

If you’re in Perth and curious about private midwifery care or continuity of care, you’re always welcome to reach out and ask questions. 🌿

Why More Women Are Becoming Curious About Home Birth 🤍🏡”

There’s no one “right” way to give birth — only the way that feels safest, most supported, and most aligned for you. 🤍

More women are becoming curious about home birth and continuity of care, yet many still don’t know what private midwifery support can look like.

For women with low-risk pregnancies in Australia, planned home birth with a qualified private midwife is an available option. Care may include antenatal visits, labour and birth support, two midwives present at birth, and postnatal care in the comfort of your own home. 🌿

Some families choose home birth for the calm, familiar environment, while others feel most comfortable birthing in hospital with the ongoing support of the same midwife throughout the journey.

Birth is personal. Your care should feel personal too. ✨

If you’re in Perth and curious about home birth or private midwifery care, I’m always happy to chat and answer questions. 💛

I’m back 👋 and really glad to be reconnecting here again.

I’m a private practice midwife with Before and After Baby, offering continuity of care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period — meaning you’re supported by the same midwife the entire way through your journey. From antenatal home visits, to supporting you during home or hospital birth, and continuing care once your baby arrives, I’m here to walk alongside you through each stage.

I also hold admitting rights at King Edward Memorial Hospital and Fiona Stanley Hospital, and as an endorsed midwife I’m able to order pregnancy-related tests and ultrasounds, as well as prescribe medications when needed.

This model of care is chosen by many women who value trust, familiarity, and a strong relationship with their care provider during one of life’s most important transitions.

If you’re new here, welcome — and if you’ve been following along, thank you for staying connected. I’ll be sharing more about pregnancy care, birth education, and postpartum support moving forward.

Feel free to follow along, share this page, or reach out anytime if you have questions or want to learn more about private midwifery care 🤍

We have been getting some beautiful and positive birth stories from some of our Calmbirth couples. And positive birth experiences despite how you have birthed is the most powerful way to spread the message that positive birth experiences can be achieved. With so many stories of 'birth trauma' being shared recently with evidence showing that one in three women experience birth trauma and now a parliamentary inquiry into it.

We wanted to reinforce that a positive birth experience is possible with the right education, support and preparation for childbirth. The Calmbirth program empowers you and your partner with all the necessary information to make informed decisions about your birth as well as providing you with all the practical skills to use to achieve a positive birth experience physically whilst mentally preparing you with a healthy mindset to dispel any subconscious fears or anxieties you may have about childbirth.

So a positive experience starts with asking yourselves...What kind of birth do you want? What does a positive birth experience mean for you?

Is it one that feels calm?
Where you feel safe?
Listened to and respected?
Where you feel empowered because you go into your birth prepared knowing your birth rights and that you have choices.
Knowing that you have researched and chosen the right care provider for your birth?
Knowing that your birth intentions will be respected.
Being watched and left alone, undisturbed to do your thing…
Surrendering to the process of birth knowing that you can go to your plan B and feel confident with the decision that you have made.

Here is a testimonial from a Calmbirth couple that attended a Calmbirth course with Calmbirth Director, Karen McClay

"Calmbirth gave me the tools to believe in my body and baby and know that they would work together for a positive outcome.
My husband sat beside me the entire time rubbing my back, holding my hand, or giving me water when needed. He also encouraged me to move and change position although, i was most comfortable on my side or on the toilet. It gave him the confidence to tell the midwife's my requests and support me in anyway he could.

"I cannot thank Karen enough for the knowledge and confidence it gave me to have such a positive birth. I can't wait
to do it again."

Let's spread the positive vibes to inspire and empower other pregnant couples to believe that they too can achieve a positive birth experience. If you have a positive birth experience you would like to share with us please email them to [email protected]

If you are pregnant and want to empower yourselves with knowledge and confidence then book a Calmbirth course today by going to:https://calmbirth.com.au/calmbirth-classes/
