The Birth Nest No more anxiety and nerves, The Birth Nest supports you to have the right mindset for birth. Hello, I am Abigail and I am creator and owner at The Birth Nest.

You will feel confident, informed and calm as you create your best pregnancy and birth experience with The Birth Nest. The Birth nest offers answers to the questions you have about pregnancy and birth. In the silence just before sleep, in the car as you drive, as you lay in the bath - belly poking through the bubbles, as you listen to the 'helpful' advice and stories your friends, family and strangers offer you on a daily basis. The anxiety creeps in, the doubt takes over and before you realise it you have created fear and tension and talked yourself in to a painful and scary birth scenario. So now its time to make some decisions:

Is this really how you want to remember your pregnancy? Are you actually going to let this be your experience of birth? At what point did you give up on trusting your body? And ask:

Am I ready to change my mindset for the best birth I can achieve for me and my body? Am I ready to learn how to replace the unhelpful reactions in my subconscious with amazing thoughts about how awesome my birth is going to be? Am I committed to trusting my body, which was made to create life and birth babies? Then without pausing for a moment longer, please contact me and find out how The Birth Nest's Services can support you to transform Fear in to Confidence and Doubt in to Trust. The BIrth Nest offers antenatal courses that show you how you can shape and inform your birth choices as well as relaxing therapies and treatments that support a healthy and calm pregnancy and birth. Once baby is here The Birth nest provides Placenta Encapsulation services, postnatal massage and breastfeeding support. There is also a postnatal support group 'The Bump Nest' with an on line community and monthly meet up at Seckford Hall in Woodbridge. STOP thinking that you are the only one that feels like this. You are not. When you work with The Birth Nest you will realise that actually, everything you need is already within you, you just need to change your mindset.

It’s been 3 and a half months since my dear friend and mentor died. I’ve not been able to post about it as I have tried to ignore the huge chasm her death has left in my everyday life. The most I could do was post a picture on my profile, so I could still see her every day.

A woman to inspire to be more like, a voice of calm reminders and a voice that can carry storms. “My darling Abbie, lift your face to the sun, breathe it in, you are magnificent. Watching you grow has been so beautiful and inspiring my love. Keep being the wonderful you and keep supporting women and couples. You are a doula from your very bones my beautiful friend. And remember don’t let the bastards drag you down, you are powerful, that’s full of power my love, use it to do all the good works.”

One of the last voice notes I have from Maddie. And I listen to it with eyes closed and hand on heart. She lives on in the passion I carry into my birth work and with every interaction I have with women, partners,midwives and consultants.

Bringing people together in a room that holds invisible division lines. Remembering the stories that our bodies can do hard things, that we are built for birth and that however a birth story unfolds we can hold the woman and her partner at the centre of that journey, with love, respect and enough time to hold themselves, and make the choices that feel right for them.

Maddie taught me to leave my own bags at the door, to sway in silence, to linger in the shadows with half closed eyes, always to observe the room and only glide in when needed. I learnt that the liminal spaces in birth are sacred, they deserve space, time and peace to play out as they should.

Maddie, I miss you every day but I carry you with me every step. I see you in the well needed rain fall during a long labouring birth, I notice your nudges of encouraging words in my head, when I’m spent and think I have no more to give…

Thank you Maddie. I am so grateful to have met you, I’ve learnt so much from you, felt your fierce support when I needed it most, laughed out loud from my very core with you, swam in icy cold norfolk seas and most of all to have called you my friend. Love you Maddie 💜💜💜
