Yuula

The power of something so simple ✨

This mama achieved her Homebirth After Caesarean with her Yuula Comb firmly in hand 🤍

The Yuula Comb is designed to stimulate the Lao Gong acupressure point in the palm. The strong sensation can also help your body release its own natural pain-relieving endorphins, while giving the nervous system another sensation to focus on through the gate control theory of pain, a similar principle to TENS.

And one of my favourite things about it? It can go anywhere with you. At home, in hospital, walking around, in the shower or even in the birth pool 💧

Simple. Portable. No batteries, no wires, no set-up. Just there in your hand when you need it.

Available from and our lovely stockists ✨

When you’re 6cm dilated, have been in labour for hours and you know that you got yourself into this, and only you can get yourself out 😂

But the truth is, when you start thinking things like this, that’s when you know you are really doing it 😉🙌

We love nesting for baby’s room, but somewhere in all that planning, the space where you’ll actually labour and birth often gets forgotten.

Fairy lights instead of fluorescent lights. Something to ease the pain, like Aura Orbs®. A pool, if that’s your thing. Whatever makes you feel calm and held. This is preparation too, and it deserves the same care as the nursery does.

and for birth)✨

Your mindset matters in birth more than you might realise 🤍

When so much of what we hear about birth centres around fear, pain and what could go wrong, intentionally surrounding yourself with positive, reassuring language can help change the story playing in your own head.

✨That’s exactly why we created our Yuula Affirmation Cards✨

Keep them somewhere you’ll see them throughout pregnancy, pack them in your birth bag, or place them around your birth space as a reminder of everything your body is capable of when doubt starts creeping in.

You can’t control every part of birth, but you can be intentional about the mindset you bring into it.

A little card with a powerful reminder that leads to a more positive way to prepare for birth.

Pregnancy can suddenly feel like a very noisy place to be.

Everyone has an opinion. Social media is full of stories, warnings and endless lists of things you should and shouldn’t be doing. And sometimes the information designed to “prepare” you actually leaves you feeling more frightened than informed.

I believe you deserve better than that.

You deserve honest, evidence based information that helps you understand what’s happening, explore your options and feel confident making the choices that are right for you.

You deserve practical tools that actually support you through pregnancy and birth.

And you deserve information that doesn’t pretend birth is completely predictable, but helps you feel more prepared for however your story unfolds.

That’s why I created Yuula.

Real information, practical support and thoughtfully designed tools, all brought together by a real midwife who genuinely believes that how you feel about your birth matters.

If that sounds like the kind of pregnancy and birth space you’ve been looking for, you’re in the right place 🤍

A birth plan is not about trying to control every part of birth. It is about understanding your options, knowing what matters to you and feeling confident enough to make informed choices if plans need to change 🤍

When you understand the benefits, risks and alternatives around different interventions, you are better equipped to have meaningful conversations with your birth team and make decisions that feel right for you and your baby.

So, what should you include in a birth plan?

✨Your birth preferences

Think about your environment, movement and positions, monitoring, examinations, pain relief, interventions, who you want with you and your preferences immediately after birth.

✨Your questions

Ask what is being recommended, why it is being recommended, what the benefits and risks are, what the alternatives are and what may happen if you choose to wait.

✨Your coping toolkit

Birth can be intense, so consider the tools you want available before you need them. Breathing techniques, movement, massage, water, music, counter pressure and sensory distraction can all have a place.

This is where Aura Orbs can become part of your toolkit. Using sensory input and focused pressure as a distraction gives your brain something else to process alongside contractions, offering a simple, drug free coping option you can reach for whenever you need it.

✨Your Plan B and C

A good birth plan is not rigid. Consider what you would want if induction, assisted birth or a caesarean became recommended. Being informed about those possibilities beforehand can make unexpected decisions feel less overwhelming in the moment.

Most importantly, talk through your birth plan with your midwife or birth team before labour. A birth plan works best when it starts a conversation rather than simply sitting in your hospital bag.

You might not be able to plan exactly how your birth unfolds, but you can prepare yourself with knowledge, questions and coping tools.

Save this for when you start writing yours and send it to an expecting mama who needs the reminder that your preferences deserve to be discussed.
