When birth happens earlier than expected, the experience can feel overwhelming, unfamiliar and completely different from what you had imagined.

While your baby receives specialised neonatal care, you deserve someone there to support you — someone who already knows your pregnancy, your preferences and your story. 🤍

Continuity of private midwifery care can provide emotional, practical and postnatal support throughout this unexpected journey.

I’ve written a new blog exploring how private midwifery care can support families through premature birth.

🤍 Did you know? S*x during pregnancy is generally safe.

Pregnancy can come with a LOT of questions—and intimacy is one of them. It’s completely normal to wonder, “Is this safe for my baby?”

For most uncomplicated pregnancies, s*x won’t harm your baby. Your baby is well protected inside the uterus. 🤍

However, there are some situations where your midwife or maternity provider may recommend avoiding s*x, such as certain placenta problems or a risk of preterm labour.

✨ The most important thing? You don’t have to feel embarrassed about asking. Your questions deserve a safe, judgment-free conversation.

💬 Have you ever wondered what is safe during pregnancy? Save this post and share it with a pregnant friend who might need the reassurance.

Individual circumstances can vary, so speak with your midwife or maternity provider if you have concerns.

💻 A mum’s brain? Basically 1,257 browser tabs… ALL. THE. TIME. 😂

One tab for the baby.
One for appointments.
One for work.
One for dinner.
One reminding you to do the laundry…
And about 1,250 more you’ve completely forgotten about. 😅

Motherhood can mean carrying so much in your head every single day — even when nobody else can see it.

So, to every mum doing her best: we see you. You’re doing amazing. 🤍

Tag a mum who deserves a laugh… and maybe a very long nap! 💤

💛 O negative — now what?

Finding out you’re O negative during pregnancy can leave you wondering, “Does this mean something is wrong?”

The good news? Being RhD negative is completely normal. 🫶

What matters during pregnancy is whether your baby is RhD positive. In some circumstances, fetal blood cells can enter your bloodstream and your immune system may produce anti-D antibodies — a process called sensitisation.

That’s why your blood group is checked early in pregnancy and why some RhD-negative women may be offered anti-D immunoglobulin to help prevent sensitisation.

✨ So if you’ve just found out you’re RhD negative, don’t panic.
It doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you or your baby.

Knowledge = informed decisions. 💛

Save this post for later, and send it to a pregnant friend who might be wondering the same thing. 👇

Always discuss your individual situation with your maternity care team, as recommendations can vary depending on your circumstances.

🤯 Did you know your milk contains over 200 unique components—and scientists are still discovering more?

Breastmilk isn't just food. It's a living, dynamic fluid that adapts to your baby's needs, helps protect against infections, and even supports your own health.

✨ Here are 5 amazing science-backed facts about your milk:

🧬 1. Over 200 unique components
From antibodies and enzymes to hormones and live cells, your milk is one of nature's most complex foods.

🔥 2. Breastfeeding burns 300–500 extra calories a day
Your body works hard to produce milk—using energy to nourish your little one.

🛡️ 3. Your milk is packed with powerful antibodies
It helps protect your baby while their immune system is still developing.

💧 4. Your milk changes with every feed
No two feeds are exactly the same. Your milk adapts to your baby's age, health, and changing needs.

💖 5. Breastfeeding benefits you too
It's linked to a lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes, and may support postpartum recovery.

Your body is doing something truly incredible. Every drop of milk is uniquely made for your baby. 💛
