SUMMER 2024! That’s when this photo was taken and we posted that…

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 💪

We put our head together that day coming with ideas how to better support our perinatal community, something we are both really passionate about 💗

We announced we were going to be spending more time trying to strengthen our working relationships across perinatal services, public and private, so we can better serve pre and postnatal women in our community 💞

It’s still proving difficult to reach woman and families in our community who NEED our support and get enough SUPPORT from other perinatal support workers BUT since then we set up our community interest company Dream Big Families CIC and other the last two months have delivered a dozen sessions to women and families in our community at incredibly low cost to them 🙌🏼

The feedback has been AMAZING 🤩

Want to help us? It’s easy! If you ARE or you KNOW any midwives, perinatal support workers, health visitors, in fact anyone serving the perinatal community - classes, scans, massages, mental health - we are very keen to talk 🙏🏻

How else can EVERYONE help? Let parents-to-be, new parents, know that we exist! We are looking to build a stronger, tighter network in the region so we can help signpost, support, provide for perinatal women 🤰🏼👶🤱

Even simpler… LIKE, SHARE or COMMENT on this post please 🙏🏻

Self care. Do you take time for yourself? To do something which nourishes, restores, relaxes or recharges you? Something that makes you happy? If so what does it look like? 🤔

Exercise? Baking? Music? Reading? 🏃🏼‍♀️🧁🎶📕

I like to do all of these when I have the time but yoga is my magic. The thing that has the most positive impact on me. You’d hope so I guess as it’s what I do for a living! 🧘🏼‍♀️

Yoga and meditation is a wonderful way to offer yourself care… physically and mentally relaxing, nourishing and restoring 🧘🏼‍♀️

I’m really interested in what YOU, my followers do, and also if any of you do yoga or meditation? Please interact with me by posting your comments below 🙏🏻

𝑷𝒆𝒍𝒗𝒊𝒄 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 - 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒊𝒈 𝒅𝒆𝒂𝒍! 🤔

These muscles weaken in pregnancy as they battle to hold the lower organs in place, support the pelvis and the weight of baby. Poor things are doing a lot of work! They weaken further in a vaginal birth when they are stretched fully and heavily used. Sooooo, it’s a bit of a big deal!

It is important to practice pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy and resume then as soon as possible after childbirth. I give you my word it REALLY is important.

Regaining strength in these muscles can help with leaking, incontinence, and back pain as they are a significant part of the core muscles.

Leaving these muscles weak or even dysfunctional can leave you with problems now and/or in the future BUT the great news is in the majority of cases it’s all very fixable!

We practice kegel exercises in both our pregnancy and postnatal classes alongside complimentary stretches and exercises to strengthen the core and pelvic floor muscles.

Did you know this? So many women don’t 😮

Most midwives would be happy to recommend something like pregnancy yoga or aqua natal to support a mum-to-be during their pregnancy even if it required an early finish or late start once a week as the benefits can be huge 💗

Visiting a new baby anytime soon? 👶

Don’t bother with flowers, don’t wait to be offered tea and biscuits, don’t take baby off mammy immediately as you enter unless they want you too!

💗 Take a meal
💗 Take a flask with your own tea & biscuits
💗 Appreciate that mammy might want you to hold baby whilst she’s gets a shower OR may not want you to take baby or stay too long if she’s trying to bond or establish breastfeeding

Just a few BIG little things for visitors why I’m sure would want to be the best possible visitors they can 😉
