Esmee's breech home birth story: Trusting Intuition Over Fear
Two years before I even got pregnant, I began preparing my body and doing research. I was practising what I now know as conscious conception, really informing myself as if...
your birth prep is about to get a whole lot easier

and endless conversation you didnt know you needed. My Body My Birth™ is everything you need to walk into birth feeling confident and ready.
you wouldn't wing your wedding, dont wing birth
I had two very different births - a hospital birth at 34 weeks and a homebirth. Both taught me something I wish I'd known from the start.
If you don't know your options, you don't really have any.
I created these cards so you don't have to figure that out the hard way.
this isn't a how-to guide. it's a what-matters-to-you guide.
My Body My Birth isn't here to tell you which decision is best for you. Birth is deeply personal, and what's right for you may not be right for someone else.
These cards exist to help you understand your options before you need them, and know which questions to ask your care providers. They help you feel clear and confident in your decisions, and get your birth partner involved in a way that feels meaningful to you both.
There's no right way to birth, and with My Body My Birth™, there's no judgment. Just clarity.
endorsed by midwives
"The cards are not only informative but honest. It gives partners an opportunity to ask the intimate questions about pregnancy, birth and postpartum. You have provided a resource that discusses the essence of autonomy, the power of informed choice and informed decision making, which should be central to the birthing experience and the Midwifery continuity of care model here in Aotearoa New Zealand."
- Christine Jackson, Registered Midwife & Lecturer at Victoria University, Wellington
your birth prep starts here
These cards are made to be used on your own, or together with your birth partner.
Learning what you want takes time, so don't rush this. Find a calm moment, wherever and whenever that is, and sit down to play My Body My Birth™
The cards will take you places you didn't know you needed to go. The big topics, the practical ones, and the questions you haven't thought to ask yet.
So when labour starts, you've already done the thinking and the research, and your birth partner has learnt how to advocate for you. You'll know what you want. They'll know how to support you. And you can focus on what matters most. Meeting your baby.
The aim of the game is simple. An empowering birth, no matter how or where you choose to give birth.
connect & prepare
These cards spark the conversations you didn't know you needed to have, the ones you've been putting off, the ones that actually matter.
Laugh, panic, plan, and get clear together. So when labour starts, your birth partner isn't guessing what you need. They already know.
the perfect gift
Gift her confidence. Perfect for a baby shower or just because, these cards help her trust her body, connect with her partner, ask the right questions, and make choices that feel right. She’ll step into pregnancy, birth, and beyond feeling empowered, prepared, and ready to own her story.

Let customers speak for us
We loved these cards. We are planning to get pregnant and these cards were a great way to prompt us to discuss topics we would never have thought to discuss on our own. I also got a second deck for an expecting friend too.
Thanks Beth!

Such a special gift to receive from my bestie! My first pregnancy and so going in blind like all those before me, but these cards have really been an invaluable resource for both me and my husband to refer to when making decisions along this road. It’s also a really beautiful way to include hubby in what feels like a lone journey for him, until Bub actually arrives. I love the detail and illustrations on each card, they’re gorgeous and of course there is a wealth of information to support you all the way through from pre to post, so that you can make informed decisions on what’s best for yourself, baby and the rest of the family. Love!

I downloaded these meditations to support me healing my birth trauma that I experienced and something to listen to throughout labour to keep me calm and relaxed. It helped me SO MUCH throughout my birth and I managed to have the exact unmedicated birth that I was wishing for!

Gosh these are such a game changer! Perfect for first time mamas, or any mama - saves so much time having to read through books and research, everything is in one place, whether you use them your own way or play the game with instructions.
I am so thrilled with these and they have jogged my memory before my second birth, I feel so much more optimistic and excited again!

my mission
I created My Body My Birth™ because every woman deserves to walk into birth feeling informed, educated, and truly ready for the experience. These cards help you figure out what you want, what you don't, what you're scared of, and what actually matters. They guide the conversations with your midwife and your partner, so your decisions reflect your values, not someone else's idea of what birth should be.
Whether you are birthing in hospital, a birth centre, or at home, this resource meets you exactly where you are. It keeps you steady, clear, and connected as you move through pregnancy and prepare for the moment you meet your baby.
My mission is simple: to give women the knowledge, confidence, and ownership they deserve, so you can step into birth feeling powerful, prepared, and supported.
