Oh hey there little knot 🪢
Seeing a true knot in an umbilical cord can look worrying at first glance. But active babies can sometimes do gymnastics in the womb and our bodies have a built in safety-feature:
Wharton’s jelly.
This thick, gelatinous substance surrounds the blood vessels inside the umbilical cord. It acts like a natural cushion or a bouncy spring. Even when a knot forms, this jelly usually prevents it from pulling tight enough to cut off the baby’s oxygen and nutrient supply.

🛖 Support isn’t a luxury in the perinatal period, it’s essential.
If you’re looking to connect with other pregnant women and mums, here are a selection of local support groups happening in October across the South Coast. They are all free to attend.

Natal Bean has reopened at Hopscotch in Fareham (where the old Ashcroft Centre was) and is open 9:30 - 4pm.

🍈 🍼 For feeding support, see Breastfeeding Network South and East Hampshire, PortsmouthBreastfeedingNetwork & Southampton Breastfeeding Network

♥️ Parents: if you end up trying one of these groups let me know & birth workers: if you have a support group or event you’d like featured in October, send me the details  😊

Save this post so that you can refer back to it throughout October 💾

What are the benefits?

Some of those not in the know might say ‘Why on earth would you want to keep your placenta?’ whereas those in the know often say ‘Why doesn’t everyone do this? It should be available on the NHS!’ 😆

So how could placenta encapsulation help you after you’ve had your baby? The 4 main areas that come up time and time again in feedback are as follows:

⚡️Balanced hormones meaning reduced or no baby blues and improved mood
✨ Fantastic healing and recovery whether vaginal or c section birth
⚡️ Increased energy levels even when sleep is hard to come by
✨ A great milk supply with many parents 
reporting their milk coming in early, particularly with smoothies and even after cesarean sections.

1️⃣&2️⃣ : Stand Up To Racism Portsmouth protest to counter the far right marching through Portsmouth. Immaculate vibes drowning out the hatred until the end when some of the far right men whose aim is apparently to 'protect are wimmin and girls' verbally attacked, threw things, blocked our exit, threatened and followed people on their way home.

3️⃣ A set of simple capsules to support postnatal recovery ✨️

4️⃣ Emergency Briefing re the climate crisis, a meeting which brought people together to understand the severity and to discuss next steps.

5️⃣ Made a tincture this morning. I love making these and knowing that it will be ongoing support. (No shelf life)

Hope your week is going well ❤️

I went along to a People's Emergency Briefing last night in Wallington, hosted by the Wilder Fareham Group. Huge thanks to them for organising it.

It's a 50 minute film about a National Emergency Briefing that took place in Westminster where ten of the UK's foremost experts addressed the audience on the threats posed by climate change and nature loss - along with the opportunities from genuine emergency action, covering:

● Weather Extremes
● Climate
● Tipping Points
● Nature
● Food Security
● Health
● National Security
● Economics
● Energy Transition

Since the government aren't being transparent with the public, it's up to us to ensure that our children have a habitable planet.

Despite the heavy topic I didn't leave with a feeling of doom and gloom or hopelessness. While the facts are stark (and since the film was made we have seen more of the effects of the climate crisis much closer to home with the heatwaves and forest fires) the film suggested solutions, actions for us all to take (on a personal level and on a wider level) and brought people together in community.

If you're interested in going along to a briefing you can visit the People's Emergency Briefing website and find a showing. People local to me: there is one coming up in Lee in Solent and also Bishop's Waltham but you can find national showings on the website. I'd really recommend it, especially if you are concerned about the issues but are feeling a bit paralysed into inaction.

Our children don't need us to be fearless or perfect but they do need us to be informed and active in protecting the world they will inherit ❤️

Straight from the horse’s mouth you say? Okay!

I have a little backlog of feedback to share which is GREAT. Feedback posts don’t do so well engagement-wise but I think it’s so important to share real people’s experiences so that others can hear first hand about placenta encapsulation.

I’m often told that I need to keep repeating the benefits but thankfully I don’t need to do that too much because you guys do it for me. All the love ♥️
