Can we talk about new mum isolation?

The years are short but the days can feel SO long.

Early motherhood can be lonely. You can be surrounded by tiny noises all day and still feel like you haven’t spoken to another adult in forever. It’s such a weird mix of love, exhaustion, and isolation.

If that’s you right now — you are not alone! 💗

Sometimes what helps most is just having a cuppa (even a cold one!) and chatting with someone who gets it. There are some lovely online groups and virtual meet-ups out there — spaces where you can just show up as you are. No pressure, no judgment, just real conversation and connection.

I'm involved with Mums Nourished (On instagram ) which is a faith-based meet up for new and expecting Mums on a Wednesday lunchtime (1pm UK) We have space to chat, pray together, a theme and short bible reflection.

But if that's not your vibe there are other online meet ups and virtual cuppas- such as Emma Inglefield's Monday virtual coffee morning at 9.30 for new and expectant Mums.

The most important thing is you find something that's the right fit for YOU.

You don’t have to do this on your own. Reach out, message another mum, or join a virtual cuppa. Sometimes that tiny bit of connection can change your whole day. ☕💞

Just love my new diary and wall planner ordered from Hannah
My little work space is gradually filling up with beautiful pieces of her work.
Red is one of my all time favourite colours. I wear it a lot, having learnt that I’m best suited to ‘Spring’ colours a few years ago❤️
It is very significant throughout the year for me, in the church I attend- particularly representing the Holy Spirit. As a doula who is a Christian I am never separated from my faith, or the Holy Spirit.
I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t agree birth is a wholistic experience, including a spiritual one. I love the conversation this starts, and the way it influences our work together, no matter whether a client has a different faith, no faith or shares the same belief as I do.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Psalm 139:13

Holiday mode in full swing and am loving my 1st book. The man on the plane next to me did give me a look as though he wondered why on earth I’d possibly want to read about my childbirth at my age!😆
Thank you for the book it’s brilliant! has written this in the most readable and personable way. I highly recommend Faith Filled Childbirth, no matter what faith you have.

Do you have the confidence to create the birth you envision? Are you able to quieten some of the outside noise that is unsettling your planning?
Do get in touch if you’d like to chat about ways I can support you, in person or virtually, during your labour, birth and postpartum

The theme for this year’s World Breastfeeding Week is ‘Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems.’

There are many ways I can support you to breastfeed- education and information before your baby arrives, practical support, virtual support when you suddenly need help or want to chat, guidance and emotional support, signposting when necessary, helping you build up your breastfeeding village, chatting with grandparents, family and friends so that they can best support you, sibling support while you feed, holding and watching baby so you can sleep between feeds… the list is endless and always planned specifically for you and with you.
No one else’s breastfeeding journey will look the same as yours. Building the best support system around you will not only benefit your baby, but you too.
