A grounded space for emotional safety in pregnancy and birth
Offering trauma‑informed tools and support to help you navigate your journey with confidence and calm.
Pregnancy and birth can be beautiful, transformative experiences — but they can also bring moments of vulnerability, uncertainty, or overwhelm.
You deserve care that feels respectful, attuned, and grounded in consent. Grow with Poppy exists to support you in accessing trauma‑informed maternity care, so you can move through your journey with confidence and calm.

Featured Tool: Care Cards
A simple, powerful way to express your needs
Care Cards are small, beautifully designed cards that help you communicate what helps you feel safe during maternity care — especially when speaking feels difficult.
They’re ideal for:
antenatal appointments
labour and birth
meeting new midwives or doctors
moments of overwhelm or anxiety
any situation where you want clearer communication
Each card contains one clear message, written with warmth and respect, to support a moment of pause and consent.
For Clinicians & Support Professionals
If you’re a midwife, obstetrician, doula, or support worker, you’ll find resources to help you understand the purpose of Care Cards and how to integrate them into your practice with ease and sensitivity.
Why Trauma‑Informed Care Matters
Trauma‑informed care isn’t about assuming someone has a trauma history — it’s about creating an environment where every woman feels safe, respected, and in control of her care. Small moments of consent, clarity, and attunement can make a meaningful difference.
Grow with Poppy exists to help you access that kind of care, no matter your story.
About Grow with Poppy
Grow with Poppy was created by Poppy — a mother, trauma‑informed birth worker, and advocate for emotionally safe maternity care. This space was born from lived experience and a deep belief that every woman deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.
