Hydration Post #6
Staying hydrated in pregnancy is so much more powerful than you can imagine!
Everything you take into your body is supporting your body, blood, and placenta to grow your baby!

Pregnant women tend to feel warmer due to hormonal changes and increased metabolism. Water helps your body stay cool by supporting sweating and temperature regulation.

Your breath is your strongest ally in labour.
It’s with you every moment — steady, instinctive, and always available.

When you learn to breathe in a way that supports your body:
✨ your mind settles
✨ your hormones balance
✨ your muscles soften
✨ your confidence rises

Breath isn’t just air in and out — it’s a bridge between body and mind,
and one of the most powerful tools you have for birth.

And the best part? It’s completely FREE and already inside you.
You just have to learn how to use it consciously.

If you’d like to explore techniques for calm, strength and flow in labour,
come join my local community of mums-to-be.

🌿 Online Pregnancy Yoga Circle starts next week
✨ Gentle movement
✨ Breath practices for labour
✨ Supportive circle of local women
✨ Calm, informed, connected pregnancy

Join the group to learn more & practice with us 💛

Pregnancy Hydration #5

Staying hydrated in pregnancy is so much more powerful than you can imagine! Everything you take into your body is supporting your body, blood, and placenta to grow your baby!

Your kidneys are working harder in pregnancy to filter both your own blood and your baby’s waste products. Water helps flush toxins from the body and reduces the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are more common in pregnancy.

Staying hydrated in pregnancy is so much more powerful than you can imagine! Everything you take into your body is supporting your body, blood, and placenta to grow your baby!

Dehydration can cause headaches, tiredness, and light-headedness — symptoms that are already common in pregnancy. Staying hydrated helps stabilise blood pressure and improve overall energy levels.

Pregnancy Hydration #3

Staying hydrated in pregnancy is so much more powerful than you can imagine! Everything you take into your body is supporting your body, blood, and placenta to grow your baby!

Pregnancy hormones relax the digestive tract, slowing things down. Drinking plenty of water keeps stools soft, reducing constipation and pressure in the re**al area that can lead to haemorrhoids.

Beautiful 😍 I hope I am right in saying that the births i have attended the women quite rightly feel they have done it themselves.

I am there to quietly assist, give confidence and make sure they stay right at the centre.

We didn’t lose continuity because it didn’t work —
we lost it because the system changed.

Fragmented care isn’t progress. It’s harm wrapped in policy.

Are you pregnant & based in or near to The Forest of Dean?

🌿 Feeling ready for a healthy reset? 🌿

I’m running a free Healthy Habits Week in my Facebook group — it’s all about simple, realistic ways to boost your energy, calm your mind, and feel better in your body (without overwhelm!).

💧 We’ve already started with hydration — next up are nutrition, movement, the microbiome, and stress & sleep.
Each day includes:
✨ A 2-minute morning meditation or gentle stretch
🥗 Lunchtime tips or easy swaps
🎥 A live at 4 pm with me (Emma — Doula & Pregnancy Yoga Teacher)
🌙 Evening Yoga Nidra to unwind

It’s a really nurturing, supportive space — perfect for expectant or new mums, or anyone wanting to bring back balance and self-care.
