Congratulations, Mumma! If you’re expecting a baby in 2025, this blog is here to guide you through the latest tips, trends, and resources for a beautiful birthing experience. From preparing your mind and body to choosing the best support tools and services, we’ve got all the info you need to feel empowered and excited about the year ahead.
The Power of Preparation: Start with Hypnobirthing
More mums in 2025 are turning to hypnobirthing to embrace a calm, confident approach to labour. Our Positive Birth Program is designed to equip you with practical breathing techniques, relaxation strategies, and a deep understanding of how your body works during birth. Available online from the comfort of your own home, this program is perfect for creating a positive mindset as you approach your due date.
💡 Mumma Tip: Sign up early! Spots fill fast, and starting your hypnobirthing journey sooner gives you more time to practice and connect with your birthing partner.
Trend Alert: Birth Photography is on the Rise
Capturing the raw, emotional moments of birth is becoming a must-have for Australian parents. Birth photography offers a way to preserve the story of your baby’s arrival with beautiful, professional images.
If you’re considering hiring a birth photographer, look for someone with experience in a hospital, homebirth, or birth centre setting. They’ll understand how to capture those special moments while respecting your space and preferences.

2025 Birth Trends You’ll Love
Staying on top of birthing trends can help you feel informed and inspired. Here’s what’s making waves this year:
- Water Births: More mums are opting for water births, which provide a soothing, low-intervention experience. My last bubba was born in a birth pool and it was honestly such a beautiful experience.
- Doula Support: The demand for doulas continues to grow as more families recognise the emotional and physical benefits of having one-on-one support.
- Postpartum Care Kits: Holistic postpartum recovery is a major focus, with kits designed to promote healing, breastfeeding, and rest. My postpartum kit got me through some rough times.
Self-Care is Key
Pregnancy and birth are transformative experiences, so don’t forget to look after yourself along the way. Simple self-care routines, like journaling, practising mindfulness, and incorporating light pregnancy-safe exercises (like those in our free Mumma Ball Exercise Guide), can make all the difference.
Let’s Talk Birth Preferences
Take time to create a birth preference checklist that includes details like:
- Pain management options
- Who you want in the room
- Preferences for delayed cord clamping and skin-to-skin contact
Our Mumma Connection Cards are a fantastic tool to help you and your partner communicate your wishes clearly with your healthcare team.
