✨ JUST FOUND OUT YOU'RE PREGNANT? HERE'S WHERE TO START ✨
First of all — congratulations! 🤍 That little flutter of excitement (and maybe a bit of "wait, what do I do now?") is so normal. Here's your gentle starter guide 👇
📋 GETTING BOOKED IN
Don't wait around — the earlier you book, the better.
👉 Self-refer to your NHS maternity unit ASAP (most trusts let you do this online now) so your booking appointment lands before 10 weeks
👉 Want continuity, choice, and a midwife who truly gets to know you? Reach out to an independent midwife early too — the good ones book up fast! IMUK's directory is a great place to start
👉 PS: it's not either/or — loads of women have NHS scans + bloods alongside IM care for the rest of their journey 🙌. This works out cheaper for you.
🥑 NOURISHING YOURSELF
Think colourful, varied, real food — veg, fruit, wholegrains, protein, dairy
⚠️ Steer clear of: unpasteurised soft cheeses, pâté, raw/undercooked eggs & meat, and high-mercury fish (shark, swordfish, marlin)
🐟 Oily fish — yes, but max 2 portions/week
☕ Caffeine — keep it under 200mg/day (roughly 2 mugs of instant)
🍷 Alcohol — best avoided altogether, little research and we don't know what's safe.
💊 SUPPLEMENTS THAT MATTER
✔️ Folic acid 400mcg daily (5mg if you're higher risk — BMI above 30, family history of cleft palate/spinach bifida)).
✔️ Vitamin D 10mcg daily, right through pregnancy. I believe everyone should take vitamin D especially in the winter.
🚫 Skip vitamin A/retinol supplements and liver products. Avoid CBD face creams.
🌿 LIFESTYLE
🚶‍♀️ Keep moving — walking, swimming, pregnancy yoga are all wonderful
🛁 Give hot tubs & saunas a miss for now
🦷 Book that free NHS dental check if you are lucky enough to have an NHS dentist.
💉 Ask about your flu, whooping cough and RSV vaccines when the time comes (completely your choice do your research).
🚭 If you smoke or v**e, now's the moment to reach out for support to stop. Most maternity units have a stop smoking service.
You don't have to have it all figured out today. One step at a time ask for help. 🤍

Building a relationship with my clients is so important to me. I love when we can talk about anything and they trust me in their most vulnerable moment. It's also important their birth partner and extended family trust me too and their children are comfortable in my presence. Giving birth is a vulnerable and private time so you need to feel comfortable. Comment DISCOVERY to see how we can work together. Prices are on my website link in linktree in bio.

There is a misconception that the only way I help people is as a full care package including birth. This isn't true I offer many ways to work with me ranging from free (email list/community) to lower priced offers, birth planning/birth debrief/birth planning/hypnobirthing courses (1-1 and small group/via zoom).
Then there are the standalone antenatal/postnatal care these are good if your birthing in hospital but want continuity.
I am currently doing the 3 step rewind birth trauma course and the NIPE newborn examination course. I'm also working on a podcast and masterclass. If you would like a chat about what I do comment DISCOVERY for a no obligation meeting.
To be added to the email list comment HOMEBIRTH for a free guide to preparing for your homebirths. Other email freebies in progress.

What a day. Faulty gearbox and engine warning light on. Taking Doug (cars name I say why in the video) to Maltby tomorrow. Looks expensive and no car for 2 weeks. Hopefully hubby will lend me one of his. Good job I'm a positive person.

A clip from our baby event yesterday. This is my explanation of nitronox and how it works. Nitronox is just another name (brand name) for Entonox or gas and air as it is commonly referred to due to its mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen. The lovely Laura demonstrated it's use for me (disclaimer she's used it before, it was her choice and she is not pregnant). comment DISCOVERY if you'd like more information about working with me.

My time in Ashington is coming to an end. One more postnatal visit and I think mum and baby will be ready for discharge. I'm sure I'll be back people here are so lovely and I like the gym better here than at home but oh well. Missing the family and my dogs will be good to get back. Still trying to get to 1000 followers so recommend me to anyone you think might be interested. Lots coming for Joyfulbirthltd so watch this space.

Supporting you, every step of the way 🩷
As an independent midwife, I offer continuity of care that goes far beyond a checklist — I walk alongside you through pregnancy, birth, and beyond, as one familiar, trusted face.💛
Antenatal 🩷
Unhurried appointments where we build a real relationship. Full physical checks — blood pressure, growth, baby's positioning — alongside space to talk through your hopes, fears, and questions. Birth isn't just physical preparation; it's emotional readiness too.
Birth 💛
I'm with you through labour, offering hands-on clinical care and calm, steady presence. Whether things go to plan or take an unexpected turn, you have someone who knows your history, your wishes, and your voice — advocating for you when you need it most. I offer home and hospital birth support including caesarean section.🩷
Postnatal 💛
Support doesn't end when baby arrives. I'm there for feeding, recovery, emotional adjustment, and those early wobbly days of new parenthood — checking in on you as much as on baby.
Midwifery, to me, means holding both the clinical and the human side of this journey. You deserve care that sees all of you.
Based in Doncaster 🩷💛 but covers Yorkshir, Lincolnshir, Nottinghamshire and the North east, I can relocate if appropriate. Get in touch to find out more or comment DISCOVERY for a 30 minute call to see if we're a good fit.
