Are you worried about bonding, your baby crying and recovering at the same time?

It’s a thought that crosses so many mums minds. That worry that you won’t feel that instant connection, that your baby’s crying will overwhelm you, and that your recovery will make it all so much harder.

You’re not alone in feeling like this, I promise. So many mums have sat exactly where you are, feeling guilty for worrying, exhausted before the journey even begins, and wondering if they’re already falling behind.

But here’s the truth. Those worries don’t make you a bad mum. They make you human. 💗

Bonding doesn’t have to be instant or perfect. It can begin long before your baby is born and grow stronger every single day through small, gentle moments like talking to your bump, soothing your baby’s cries, or just resting together. What feels difficult at first will soon become the most natural thing in the world.

Your emotions are valid, your hormones are recalibrating, your body is healing, and your mind is trying to process it all. Recognising the difference between baby blues and postnatal depression to seek extra support is so important. You do not have to face that alone. There are incredible support systems designed just for you. 🧠

Your recovery will depend on your type of birth, and it’s completely understandable to worry about how long it will take. Be gentle with yourself, follow medical advice, and give your body permission to rest and heal. You’ve been through something incredible, and recovery is a process.✹

If you’re feeling anxious about early days with your baby, DM me ‘EARLY’ to book into my early days with baby class where I can support you on this journey.đŸ€

3 ways you can make breastfeeding easier from day ONE đŸ‘‡đŸ»

đŸ‘‰đŸ» Learn before baby arrives.
The more you can read, watch, and learn before you start breastfeeding, the more confident you’ll feel. Preparation truly makes a difference. You can even attend my Breast and Infant Feeding Education Class, where I guide you through everything you need to know before your baby is born.

đŸ‘‰đŸ» Be patient with yourself and your baby.
Breastfeeding takes time to master. You and your baby are both learning a brand new skill together. Be kind to yourself, take it slow, and remember that every feed is a step forward, it will all be worth it.

đŸ‘‰đŸ» Make space for success.
If you’re determined to breastfeed long-term, dedicate time in those early days to get it established. Let others help with household tasks or meals so you can focus on feeding and resting. Having the right support around you can make all the difference.

✹ Follow me for all things labour, birth, early days with baby, and breastfeeding support. đŸ€

Did you attend an NHS antenatal class, but still left feeling unsure and overwhelmed?

You’re not the only one, and that’s exactly why I started offering my own antenatal sessions. 💛

So many mums tell me they left their first class feeling more confused than confident. They’d heard all the what ifs, but not enough about what to actually do.

That’s where I step in.

We go over everything from the stages of labour, contractions, pain relief and relaxation techniques, to skin to skin, hospital prep, interventions, and recovery, all in a calm, supportive environment where no question is ever “silly.”

Because birth isn’t something you should just get through, it’s something you can feel in control of. 🌿

My antenatal classes are designed to help you feel confident, prepared and informed. My clients always say they leave feeling lighter, calmer, and actually excited to meet their baby, not anxious about what’s to come.

We have two options for my Labour and Birth class, attend my in person class in Helensburgh, or download my in-depth ebook that teaches you everything I teach in my class. DM me LABOUR to book in, or download my guide in my link in bio!

Lying awake at 3am with your mind racing and your baby finally asleep, wondering if you’ll ever feel rested again? đŸ„ș

You’re not alone. So many new mums find the sleepless nights and constant exhaustion one of the hardest parts of early motherhood. You want to do everything right for your baby, but when you’re running on empty, even the smallest tasks can feel overwhelming. 🧠

You’ve probably heard it before, “sleep when the baby sleeps.” but let’s be honest, it’s not always easy, but if you can, it really does help. Even a 10 or 15 minute rest with your eyes closed can make a difference. Give yourself permission to slow down and rest whenever you can.

If you have a partner, share the load where possible. They could take the baby for a short walk so you can nap, or help with night feeds by changing and settling baby before and after you feed. Sharing tasks can make those long nights feel more manageable and give you both a little breathing space. đŸ€

If you’re finding it hard to fall back asleep, try small changes that make your nights calmer. Reading for a few minutes, keeping lights dim during feeds, or using blackout blinds and soothing sounds can all help your body relax again. It might take time to find what works for you, but that’s okay. đŸ’«

Sleep deprivation and low energy are completely normal in the early stages. Your baby is still learning the difference between day and night, and things will improve. Asking for support and accepting help when it’s offered can make a huge difference to how you feel.

The most important thing is to be kind to yourself, rest where you can, and know that you’re doing an amazing job even on the days that feel the hardest.

DM me if you’re needing support in those early days with your baby đŸ‘¶

If you didn’t know, I trained as a midwife, so let’s speak about how that led me to starting Bump Birth BabyđŸ€

After giving birth to my son over 11 years ago, I was so inspired by the amazing care I received. Even though I was induced and had a few tears, it was still such a positive experience, and that was down to the incredible midwives who supported me. 💛

Their care lit a spark in me and made me want to do the same for others, so I trained to become a midwife myself. It was a tough course, but as I came to the end of it I realised where my true passion was: helping families on a 1:1 basis, preparing for birth, and supporting with breastfeeding.

That’s what led me to where I am today and why I started Bump Birth Baby đŸ€

To help parents feel supported, confident, and cared for, just like I did all those years ago. If you want to find out how I can support you, DM me and let’s have a chat💭
