🚨 ASKING FOR HELP 🚨

We’re all a bit s**t at it, aren’t we? We like to tough things out, soldier it out on our own, because we think that we have to (I could spend all day talking about why!).

But this is a fast-track, one-way ticket to being a burnt out, unhappy bunny, especially in the postpartum period. Also, some people don’t know help is needed until it’s obvious.

It’s worth thinking about a postpartum plan - who’s bringing dinner round, who’s doing the laundry, who’s taking older children to school, who is part of your village making sure you get a full hot meal and some damn sleep? Yeah, you’re the parent of a newborn, but you’re STILL a human being with your own needs (brushing your hair is a need).

Would a postpartum Doula be a good idea (they’re ALWAYS a good idea!). Maybe ask for some Doula hours as a baby shower gift?

Laying out your expectations and needs from the get go will go a long way towards a somewhat easier postpartum transition.

So, have a chat with your loved ones today and figure out what you can achieve together. A parent and baby being alive is the bare minimum. Birthing people need and deserve hot meals!

💚 BIRTH RIGHTS & MYTHS 💚

Hiya! I thought I’d jump on here to chat to you real quick about YOUR RIGHTS. Hint - you have plenty!

Please don’t let “white coat syndrome” (fear of medical/clinical authority figures) make your decisions for you. Your pregnancy, your baby, your body, your choice!

Make sure you are fully on board and totally understand the treatment/ course of action on offer. Does it feel right for you? Then go ‘head babe! If it doesn’t, ask some questions, or ask for more time.

Scroll over for a lil birthy “True or False”, you may be surprised about what you don’t know... and that’s okay!

Remember - “NO is a full sentence” 🥰💥🚫

The days of face to face classes ARE coming back around, I promise. Until then, why not get comfy on the sofa while I give you a whistle stop tour of Hypnobirthing, SLBC’s courses & the many ways in which a course can make your birth that little bit more kickass? Give me an hour and I’ll give you the lowdown. Tell your pregnant & curious mates to come along, too 👀

🌹MUM🌹

I think we can safely say it’s been a s**t sandwich week. It’s really shone a light on the many ways in which women - white women, black women, privileged women, trans women, women taking all the “right” steps to ensure their safety - are failed and unprotected, time & time again. I’ve been angry, I’ve been sad, and I’ve been proud, in equal measure.

Today though, I want to share this family photo, taken on Mother’s Day 1992. L-R you can see my mum, my big sister, my uncle, my nan, and my great-grandma, who is holding me 👶🏽

Hiding behind my mum’s smile is pain & upset - she was unable to breastfeed me at the time, due to medication she was taking for a health issue. Yet she smiled for the photo. And isn’t she stunning 😍

I want to thank you mum, for sacrificing so much of yourself and giving me everything you could, despite enduring so much. If I sat and listed every single thing you have done for me, we would be here until I’m 90. I love you so much mumala ❤️

I want to thank my nan, for being my rock and support during those hairy teen years ❤️

I want to pay respects to my great-grandma, who is no longer with us but lived a full life and was so so loved by her many children ❤️

For those of you who find days like this difficult, I want to send you love & kindness ❤️

💛 DOULAS 💛

Hey there! Since Spring is tryna, ya know, Spring, I thought I’d bring some fresh yellow vibes to the timeline 🌼

Let’s talk about DOULAS - aka absolute angel babes on earth. They say “it takes a village to raise a child”. I’d go one step further and say it takes a village to birth a child.

Having a doula on your team that gets you and gets IT, can do wonders for your birth and/or postpartum experience. Someone who’s role is to be firmly in your corner, no matter what.

No two doulas are the same, so if you’re considering hiring one, do some shopping around! Who makes you feel safe, validated and listened to? Who would you go for a coffee with? These are important things to consider when choosing your doula (or like, anyone who’s in your life!)
