Midwives: Not Just for Bumps!
From pregnancy to parenthood, here’s why midwives are your secret weapon.
When you think midwife, you probably picture pregnancy check-ups, measuring your bump, or talking birth plans. But here’s the secret: midwives don’t clock off once your baby arrives. They’re just as brilliant for the messy, magical, and confusing bits of parenthood too.
While You’re Pregnant
Your midwife is like your personal pregnancy guru. They can help with:
⭐ What’s normal (and what’s not) – saving you from endless Googling at 2am.
⭐ Supplements and snacks – what you really need to keep you and baby thriving.
⭐ Birth planning – from pain relief options to “do I really need a playlist?”
⭐ Wobbles and worries – because let’s face it, pregnancy can be a rollercoaster.
After Baby Arrives
Once your little one is here, the questions don’t stop – they multiply faster than the baby grows out of their sleepsuits. Midwives are a goldmine for things like:
Feeding drama – bottle, boob, combo, reflux… they’ve heard it all.
Baby sleep (or lack of it) – tips on safe sleep and realistic routines.
Weaning wins – when, how, and what to start with (spoiler: not chocolate fingers).
Your recovery – stitches, soreness, emotions… it all matters.
Milestone moments – is your baby on track, or just doing their own thing? (Both are okay!)
