Helpful Links
I know how overwhelming it can be to find reliable information when you’re expecting or in those early days with your baby. With so much out there, it can be hard to know where to turn. To make things easier, I’ve put together a list of trusted, evidence-based resources that I share with the families I work with.
These are just some of my top picks, covering everything from pregnancy and birth prep to newborn care and breastfeeding. They’re all designed to save you time and energy, so you can spend less time Googling and more time feeling confident and supported.
Feel free to explore these articles and videos at your own pace. And if you prefer listening to your info, check out my two favourite podcasts:
The Midwives’ Cauldron – packed with episodes on pretty much every pregnancy or birth-related topic you can think of.
The Better Birth Podcast – full of amazing positive birth stories that are perfect to flood your brain with before your own birth.
I hope these resources make your journey a little easier and a lot more enjoyable!
