I’ll be back to doula work soon but for now I’m still enjoying this precious time with my baby.

Now on maternity leave 🥰

The first few weeks postpartum are such a sacred time that must be protected and reclaimed. Let’s make bounce back culture a thing of the past. Stay in bed, stay home, stay in your cocoon for as long as you want and need. That goes for the whole fourth trimester too, anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months.

Some relaxing birth prep for me today. Birth affirmation cards the colour of Brienzersee, my happy place and a poster of comfort measures for my birth partners to remember. A little homemade but helpful all the same.

Nutritious, healthy and delicious meals prepared for this Mama arriving home from a trip away.

Veggie Lasagne, Sweet Potato, Chickpea and Spinach Stew, and Lentil shepherds pie mixture she can simply add mashed potatoes to. All groceries done and house cleaned ready for her and her families arrival.

What support do you dream of to make your life as a mum easier? Maybe I can help.

So I’ve been MIA from my doula work for a good few months now whilst I’ve been working on something else. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Baby Peacock will arrive in Spring next year. It was a long journey and at times it felt too raw to be in the birth worker world. I’m happy to say that everything is going well and Doula Lauren May is up and running again. If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester, please do get in touch. Sending love. ❤️🧡💛💚💙 just off for another snack…

from Birthrights] This is an absolute basic human right! But we don’t know it, we don’t think about it, too often we just go along with things then wonder why we said yes afterwards, feeling like we didn’t really have a choice, feeling coerced and pressured. But we do have a choice. Every single time! If you’re pregnant please please please follow Birthrights] who are doing incredible work raising awareness and training birth workers (including midwives and obstetricians) on recognising situations where human rights are at risk of being breached and how to stop this from happening!

New blog post :)

What is it? What does that mean for you? Where can I get it? May 28th Night feeds can be lonely and exhausting. In Switzerland we’re lucky enough to have up to 10 visits from your midwife which is great. But I’m yet to see support offered to new mums overnight. The nights can be the hardest. It ...
