✨It can be overwhelming, right? But I promise you these 5 things will help!✨

🤍 I share this affirmation with my doula & hypnobirthing clients & I recommend repeating it to yourself regularly:
"I control what I can and let go of the rest"

✅ Not *everything* is within our control but a lot of things are! These steps will support you to work out what you need and feel in control, not like you're just stepping onto a conveyor belt.

💫 As your doula I walk alongside you & your birth partner as you navigate pregnancy, labour & birth, helping you to feel listened-to & trusted as you communicate what you need.

🙌🏽 If you'd like me to be on your team, comment DISCOVER below and I'll send you a link to find out more about what I offer and to book a free discovery call!

👶🏽When your baby is born, they're hard-wired to want to sleep on or very near you. There isn't anything wrong with them, it's biology.

💚Often mums in my classes share they're co-sleeping with their baby and it's the first time they've ever told anyone because they feel like they shouldn't be doing it. And 9 times out of 10 other mums will say "we're doing that too!"

🥴It's really not helpful for you to be told that you should only put your baby to sleep on their own, when every time you do, they cry.

👶🏼We know that lots of mums end up sleeping with their baby in bed with them - even if they didn't plan to. So learning how to do it safely is SO important and can be a complete game-changer for so many parents.

✅ If you're bed-sharing, DO:
✳️Keep pillows & bedding away from your baby
✳️Lie your baby on their back
✳️Avoid slatted headboards
✳️Keep pets & other children out of the bed
✳️Make sure your baby can't be trapped, wedged or fall out of bed
✳️Look at safe bed-sharing information on the website

❌DON'T bed-share if:
🔻You or anyone in the bed has recently drunk alcohol or taken medication that makes you sleepy or taken any drugs
🔻You or anyone in the bed smokes or your baby was exposed to smoke in pregnancy
🔻Your baby was born before 37 weeks or weighed under 5.5lbs when they were born

✨These five boundaries guide how I show up to support families through pregnancy, birth and postpartum✨

🌱Each family I work with is unique but these boundaries create a strong foundation on which I build my relationship with every single parent I support.

✨This is something nearly every client I support believes…and why wouldn't you when choices aren't presented like choices but like rules?

〰️Understanding that everything is YOUR choice and that you're the one who calls the shots is the first step in preparing to give birth on your terms.

〰️Embracing the fact that you're the expert on your body and working on feeling confident making decisions.

〰️So that rather than just accepting the one-size-fits-all approach on offer, you'll be asking yourself "does this feel like the right decision for me and my baby?"

〰️Surrounding yourself with people who know your wishes inside out and who'll support you to get truly personalised care will stack the odds in your favour for the birth and postnatal experience you deserve.

✨Do you want to find out more about the support I can offer as your doula? DM me for a chat!

It's always an honour walking alongside families as they prepare to meet their babies and in the early weeks following birth.

✨ Shannon's birth story✨

💚 I don't think there's anything I can add to Shannon's amazing words except to say what an honour it was to walk alongside her & Matt on their journey to a birth on their own terms 💪🏼

🗺️Maybe also this: if you're preparing to give birth in our current maternity system, don't just cross your fingers and hope for the best. Knowing what to expect and having the support to navigate it can make a huge difference.

To Shannon - thank you so much for sharing your story 🥰 xx

✨ Come along, move your amazing body, snuggle your baby and be part of a supportive group of awesome mamas who get how flipping hard it can sometimes be to just make it out of the house!

🧘🏼‍♀️I guarantee you'll leave feeling a bit less achy and a bit more chilled.

☕ Oh, and there's coffee & biscuits 😋
