Navigating Childbirth in 2025

by | Birth Preparation

The journey to parenthood in 2025 comes with its unique challenges. With the pressures of modern life, evolving healthcare systems, and the ever-present digital noise, many expectant parents are seeking ways to feel empowered, supported, and confident in their birthing experience. One of the most valuable tools available is education—understanding the physiological and emotional aspects of birth can make all the difference. This is where CalmBirth, a scientifically backed childbirth education program, becomes an essential part of your journey. 

Breastfeeding…

As an IBCLC I hear a lot of new mums talk about how painful their breastfeeding journey had been and it saddens me. One of the biggest tips I give all new mums is education and preparation! Preparing for childbirth is so important and the Calmbirth classes are magic for this and then this is closely followed by breastfeeding education, which I try to incorporate into our Calmbirth classes (but do advise to do further self-education/preparation).

Getting To Know Calmbirth Educator Mel Scott

Mel Scott has been a Midwife for over 15 years and Lactation Consultant for over 7 years. She is also a mum of 4 and wife to 1!

She has worked across both the public and private hospital settings and most recently works at a GPO practice in Albany, Western Australia and says she feels it is a privilege to work with parents and their babies in this time of life where things can sometimes be uncertain or unchartered.

“I feel that here at Calmbirth we have the advantage of empowering women and their partners to make the decisions they need to for this journey they are going on. My focus will be on a small group of couples so that you have the opportunity to ask any questions you want, to get to know others going through the same thing you are.
