You can’t predict exactly what your birth or postpartum experience will look like… but you can prepare for it.

In my work as a nurse and prenatal educator, I’ve seen how much knowledge can change the way new parents experience those first few weeks. Knowing what’s normal, what to expect, how to care for your baby, and when to ask for help can make the early days with your baby feel a whole lot less overwhelming.

That’s why I believe so strongly in prenatal education. It’s not about creating a perfect birth plan - it’s about giving you the knowledge and confidence to navigate whatever comes your way 💗

My one-day prenatal class is designed to help you feel informed and confident heading into birth and early postpartum.

✨ We’ll cover:
💗 How to recognize and navigate labour
💗 Pain management options & informed decision-making
💗 What to expect at the hospital and in the first few weeks
💗 Newborn care, feeding & postpartum recovery
💗 How your partner/support person can support you

🍁 Upcoming group classes:
September 19th
October 3rd
November 14th
December 5th

Spots are limited and classes tend to sell out!

Can’t make a group date? Message me to learn more about private prenatal classes.

Because feeling informed can change the way you experience the transition into parenthood 🤍

I loved spending Saturday with this group of soon-to-be parents 🤍 So many great questions, conversations, and laughs throughout the day.

Just a reminder that if your newborn isn’t sleeping through the night… it’s totally normal 🤍

Newborns wake up a lot. They have tiny tummies, need to feed frequently, and their sleep is still pretty unpredictable.

So if you’re in the newborn stage and wondering when your baby is going to “start sleeping” give it time. This is normal newborn sleep ❤️

“Why would I learn about a C-section or induction if I’m planning a natural birth?”

I hear this question all the time from parents with healthy, low-risk pregnancies- and I get it! It’s natural to want to focus only on your ideal birth plan.

But birth prep isn’t about controlling the exact outcome; it’s about feeling in control of your decisions, no matter how labour unfolds.

Imagine facing a decision about an unexpected shift in your labour plan feeling calm and informed-rather than anxious, confused, or rushed. That’s the power of prenatal education🫶🏻

In my classes, I teach parents what to expect in labour, how to determine their birth preferences, what interventions might be offered, and how to make informed decisions as a team. This information puts you back in the driver’s seat and helps you to have a better birth experience ❤️

If I could recommend one underrated labour tool, it’d be a birth mirror🪞

Instead of relying only on how your pushes feel, a mirror helps you see your baby’s head moving with each push. Seeing that progress gives you immediate feedback and can be incredibly motivating as you get closer to meeting your baby! ☺️

Some moms love using a mirror because it helps them feel more involved and empowered during the pushing stage, and others would rather not look- that’s completely okay too 🫶🏻

How do you feel about a birth mirror? Let me know!!👇

✨ Why are expecting parents travelling from Picton, Haliburton, Port Hope, and beyond to attend an in-person prenatal class in Peterborough?

Because preparing for birth is about more than just information- it’s about feeling supported, building confidence, and knowing you’re not walking into this experience alone ❤️

There is something special about learning together in the same room - practicing with your partner, asking questions, and connecting with other families who are on the same journey.

These families are making the drive because they value the confidence that comes from RN led, hands-on, in-person preparation.

Birth is a big moment. You deserve to feel informed, supported, and ready 🤍

Upcoming prenatal class dates are available through the link in my bio - I’d love to have you join us!

Here are 5 baby registry items I’d skip as a Registered Nurse & Prenatal Educator:

❌ Wipe warmer - Nice to have, but not necessary.

❌ Newborn shoes - Adorable, but they don’t stay on and your newborn isn’t walking.

❌ Expensive change table - A changing pad on a dresser or other safe, sturdy surface works just as well.

❌ Owlet Smart Sock - It can provide reassurance for some families, but it hasn’t been shown to reduce the risk of SIDS. I’d rather prioritize evidence-based safe sleep practices.

❌ Bottle warmer - Many babies are happy with room-temperature bottles, and warming a bottle in a bowl of warm water works well if you do want to warm one.

💬 Parents- is there a baby item you got that you barely used? Let me know in the comments!!

With social media and the baby industry, it’s easy to feel like being ready for a baby means having the perfect nursery and every recommended product.

But babies need much less than we’re often led to believe.

The best preparation isn’t about having more stuff- it’s about feeling more confident.

Invest just as much (or more) energy into preparing yourself as you do preparing your space. The knowledge you gain will be something you use every day as a new parent 🤗

Message me the word “prenatal” to learn about how I can support you in preparing for labour & life with your newborn❤️

Your first instinct might be to grab your hospital bag and head for the door.

But for most women with a low-risk pregnancy, the best place to be in early labour is actually at home! 💗

Early labour is your body’s way of easing into the process- not a sign that everything has to happen immediately.

Instead of watching the clock, distract yourself! You could watch an episode of your favourite show, make dinner, take a shower, go for a walk…

Distraction isn’t “doing nothing.” It’s one of the best tools you have.

When you’re relaxed, your body can work with labour instead of against it. Staying in a familiar environment, moving freely, drinking, and resting can help make the early hours of labour feel much more manageable.

Of course, every labour is different, and your healthcare provider’s advice always comes first ✔️

Save this for later- you’ll be glad you read it before your first contractions start 🤍
