Today marks the beginning of Baby Loss Awareness Week. 🪽✨

🤍 This week, we remember every much-loved baby who died during pregnancy, at birth or in infancy, and we hold in our thoughts the parents and families whose lives were changed forever by their loss.

🪽For some, that loss may have been recent. For others, many years may have passed. There is no timeline for grief, and no measure for how deeply a baby can be loved.

🤍 At MamaBabyBliss, our work has always been about nurturing and supporting mothers and their babies. This week, we also want to make space for the babies who cannot be held, but who will always be remembered.

🪽 If this week feels particularly difficult for you, please be gentle with yourself.

We remember with you. 🕯️

Throwback to a few weeks ago when I had the immense privilege of training the ‘Healthy Cornwall’ antenatal community teams in our PregnancyBliss Stretch & Relax course.

It is always such an honour to work with such special individuals who are so passionate and dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of mothers and mothers-to-be.

Huge congratulations to them all on qualifying and I can’t wait to hear all about what they create. 💕🙏

OCTOBER BABY FUN FACT 👶

October babies really are something special — long life odds AND double the birthstones. 💎

Studies looking at centenarian records found autumn-born babies (Sept, Oct, Nov) had better odds of a long life than those born in spring — likely down to better nutrition and lower infection exposure during pregnancy.

And here’s a sweet bonus: October is the only month with TWO birthstones in totally different colours — the milky, shimmery opal and the rainbow-hued tourmaline. Fitting for a little one who’s about to bring colour into your world. 🧡

If your little one’s due this month, tell us below! 👇

YOUR AMAZING BODY 🤰Did you know that your uterus expands from about the size of a pear to a watermelon by the third trimester, while your cervix stays firmly closed the whole time to keep baby safe and snug until it’s time. Isn’t nature and your body just amazing. Did anything about your changing body surprise you during pregnancy?

SELF-CARE REMINDER 💖 Self-Care Awareness Month may be coming to an end, but these reminders don’t have to. Save this post for whenever you need a gentle nudge to put yourself back on the list. Which reminder meant the most to you this month?

THE POWER OF THE BREATH 🙏 When everything feels like a lot, your breath is one of the simplest ways to bring your body back to calm. Slow, deep breathing signals to your nervous system that you’re safe, lowering stress hormones and easing that “wired but tired” feeling so many mums know well. Try this: breathe in for 4 counts, hold for 4, breathe out for 4. Even one minute can help. Will you try it today?

SELF-CARE REMINDER ☕️📚🧖‍♀️Self-care gets pictured as big gestures, but often it’s the tiny moments that matter most — a cup of tea while it’s still hot, five minutes of quiet, a deep breath before the next thing. What’s your small self-care moment this week?

HELLO AUTUMN 🍂🍁

As the seasons shift, it’s a lovely moment to shift your pace too. Autumn brings an invitation to slow down, get cosy, and lean into rest — something every mum deserves, not just baby.

What’s your favourite way to unwind this time of year?

HAPPY SELF-CARE FRIDAY 💖

Saying no — to an extra commitment, a visitor, or even to yourself — isn’t unkind, it’s a boundary, and boundaries protect your energy.

What’s one thing you could say no to this weekend?

To the mom who hides in the bathroom in an attempt to get a second alone—with tears running down your face because you’re all out of energy—I was her today, I’ve been her in the past ,and I will be her in the future.

To the mom who’s feeling insecure about what she's doing—wondering when this “phase” will end, wondering why her baby is screaming nonstop when everyone else’s baby seems like an angel—I’ve been her, and I’ll be her again.

To the mom who would do anything to get a full night's sleep, but doesn't get any help. To the mom who’s slowly falling apart because she’s drained.

To the mom who’s feeling stressed about not getting enough done during the day, then spending the nights stressed about not spending enough time with her kids, I’m right there with you.

To the mom who feels alone in all this even when she’s surrounded with people, remember—you’re not alone in this. You’re amazing and you’re rocking motherhood.

Motherhood will change your life. It’s scary, energy-draining, and lonely at times—but it will pass . This will pass because it’s a phase in our lives and when we look back at it, it will probably be a way too short phase.

But while we’re in it, remember to remind yourself that you’re doing a great job. Even on your worst day, you’re greatly loved and no one would do this better than YOU.

Like in this photo, I was crying in the bathroom for all the things above. I was trying to go to the toilet alone, but they couldn’t stay away for even a minute. Even though I (in my head) was failing, they love me so much that they couldn’t bear to not be with me for one minute—that’s how amazing I am to them (and apparently Ludwig who took this photo to remind me of it).

We all have bad days. We all breakdown. We’re not alone in this. We are mothers—amazing mothers.
