Mothering and The Menopause

Mothering and The Menopause Supporting and empowering Mums with young children through their menopause journey.

Mothering and The Menopause was founded by Emily, an experienced Health Visitor. Emily had a difficult menopause journey herself, following the birth of her twins. Emily is on a mission to support other Mums who are experiencing the menopause to ensure that no one else has to suffer like she did.

Here are 4 things I recommend you to do if you think you have menopause symptoms.

I must prefix with I am not a health professional, but I have much lived experience of the process and these are all things that I've found along the way, and are widely discussed and recommended.

If you've been through the process, what would you add to someone at the beginning of their journey?

3 things I refuse to feel guilty about as a menopausal mum to young children.

Spending money on looking after myself, I now guilt free pay for the gym, going to therapy and for my membership in our mothering and the menopause community.

Keeping the kids on an early bedtime even at weekends and school holidays. Tired kids make grumpy kids, and this mother needs some peace

Saying no and letting go of people pleasing. Love it!

The Mothering and The Menopause girls know how much I’ve been struggling recently. With life, new job, husband went away, normal kid demands and low hormone levels.

One thing I’ve learnt from managing menopause symptoms and young children for the last six years is I have to do things that will help and protect me at these times.

At the moment, it’s strictly no alcohol and doing exercise whenever I can. As we know with young children, sleep is hit and miss, so I wouldn’t say that’s something I can control!

I’m trying my best to keep myself feeling as well as I can, despite not loving life right now.

What are your strategies for coping with life’s stresses and menopause symptoms?

We've been a bit quiet on here recently, mainly because life has really been lifing!

I (Cara), have found myself in a little bit of a rut for a couple of months, but I'm making my way out of it now thankfully! It's so easy to put it all down to POI causing it, but alongside that it's probably been the chaos of December, Christmas, 4 birthdays, being off work over Xmas and getting back into routine (not for the weak hearted 🥴)

I also discovered that my testosterone levels had gone right down to

What nobody tells you about having an early menopause, and raising younger children alongside it 🫠

These things are brought up regularly in our community, and are always, always met with solidarity and understanding

This is a wild little journey, and you don't have to navigate it alone! We've just reduced the cost of membership to only £5 a month with access to a huge catalogue of resources, but most importantly other women walking the same path 🩷

You can now join us for an even lower cost.

Changes to my NHS role has meant that I have less time and headspace to dedicate to our lovely group. The members will be supporting me in running the group (some already have been- very grateful!).

We discussed moving to a free Facebook group but we have hours and hours of resources in an easily accessible app which is super easy to use so we decided to keep a low fee instead to cover costs.

You can get so much support in your motherhood and menopause journey when you join us, including all of the previous support, any future speakers or sleep clinics, meet ups and we are currently planning our weekend away!

Find your people and it helps so much 🤗
