Hello! ๐ to my new followers ๐ Iโm Pippa, a registered midwife living in Devon.
A bit about me..I am a solo Mama to 2 awesome humans Maddie & George. I had them before I became a midwife ๐ We have the BEST cockapoo pup Milo who joined our family in September, he is a complete love sponge and has brought so much happiness to our home! I work 30h per week in the NHS this is a mixture of community and Labour ward/birth centre, day and night shifts ๐ I gym, walk, run, love coffee dates, cocktails, prosecco and have a chocolate addiction ๐ซฃ A friend once described me as having the mouth of a sailor and the heart of a saint, I own that proudly. I live with a generalised anxiety disorder for which I take mediation. I occasionally get swamped by this and have to tap out for a bit while I steady myselfโฆI get bummed out that this is a part of me but I am learning to accept it and not be ashamed of it. I talk openly and honestly and Iโm incredibly blessed to have a supportive and caring partner who rides these waves with me and holds on tight until the cloud lifts ๐
Exeter breastfeeding service was created out of my passion to educate and support families ๐ I am super proud to work within the NHS but I am not blind to its limitations. I needed an avenue through which to channel my passion.
I host a free breastfeeding support drop in each week my favourite little cafe near my home ๐ This is to ensure everyone is able to access help and support if needed!
I provide private 1:1 home visits or telephone consultations in Exeter and surrounding areas for families facing breastfeeding challenges who need more time and a tailored plan of care ๐
I also run antenatal breastfeeding preparation classes every other month on Paris street in Exeter. THIS is where the magic happens. By being prepared for the journey ahead, so many common breastfeeding challenges and accidental mistakes can be avoided. We have a lot of fun in these sessions and I love the confidence I see it generates in parents as they approach meeting their baby for the first time ๐
I hope you enjoy this space ๐
