Hello! I've not been on social media really for ov

Hello! I've not been on social media really for over a week. Apart from a few lives over on the Facebook group. I've not been feeling social media. Partly due to fat fingers from rheumatoid arthritis (texting is hard) but also because I have slowed down, really slowed down. And it's bloomin' marvellous. I became overwhelmed, boys needing me, and trying to work in a different way feels like starting a business again. My boys don't go to bed before me anymore either! So my working day has been 10pm to 1am and 6-8am this last week. Messages on FB, both personal and page, messages here, emails. So last week I made a commitment to not use SM at the weekend, and I reminded myself that I am still able to have a break. Doing this feels feels as if I'm headbutting against a 24/7 work culture expectation. Do you ever feel this too? 🐢 If I'm slow to get back, answer a tag or a message please forgive the tortoise over here drawing some work life boundaries.
Tagged those of you who are still very much in heart and mind as I take these little pauses from social for mental wellbeing. x

Focusing on a due date? STOP! One of the best piec

Focusing on a due date? STOP! One of the best pieces of advice my mother gave to me was to set the date in my head two weeks back from the date I was given. Why was this such great advice? Because somehow when we are given a date it becomes a focus, even if if you try hard for it not to be. Babies generally come in a huge 5 week window with around only 5% arriving on their due date. By setting it back in my head by two weeks I let go and gave myself more time unconsciously. Anxiety about dates, missing the date, being 'overdue', increase adrenaline at a time when oxytocin should be rising. By letting go of a date, you let go of worry and when you let go of worry your body has the best possible support to allow labour to begin. ❤️Do a short letting go exercise, I have an album called "it's time baby, we're ready for you' which helps to get your head into an oxytocin cloud at the moment it matters most.

Nesting - it matters! We have chickens, usually th

Nesting - it matters! We have chickens, usually they use a nesting box to lay but it's not uncommon for chicken owners to find secret egg stashes like this one. Why? Because chickens are very very canny at seeking out very hidden spots to lay safely. Places they won't be disturbed and places that it's definitely hard for humans to find. This was hidden between two fences in a woodpile. As humans we aren't much different, that instinct to nest is so important - t's creating a safe place to birth. Have you really thought about that, how do you create it. Have you learnt why it matters? Hypnobirthing teaches you all of that and how to create the feeling that you are safe, even in an unfamiliar environment.

This photo ❤️ So real, so fragile. Sometimes, when we are pregnant, and in the midst of everything, especially when we are busy we forget that there is a baby and an emerging mother at the centre of the whirlwind of appointments, work, juggling other children, stress of everyday life. 💜 One of things I love to do in a class is to use the time to focus on baby, to bring baby back to the centre. Your baby is a new life being born, is sentient even in utero. The small things you do to connect with baby, to connect with the mother in you, even if a little every day, are meaningful ways to water that loving connection. For some it is easier than others, so do what is comfortable. 🎼 A song, a touch - a baby body scan. All of these can help. ⚡️Sometimes love isn't a "lightening moment" it grows quietly and formidably, nurtured by regular loving connection. #motherhood #newmum #babyduesoon #pregnant #mindfulhypnobirthing #hypnobirthing #40weekspregnant #preggo #parto #babylove #4thtrimester #mindfulmamma #mindfulnessformums

Wow! Just been told that this is on promo for 99p

Wow! Just been told that this is on promo for 99p on Amazon Kindle. Seriously! This includes accompanying MP3 downloads ( link in bio) This is such a bargain. Read this in the last few weeks of pregnancy so that you are prepared for the thoughts and feelings aspect of becoming a new parent rather than it taking you by surprise. Learn practical tools while you can so you can draw on the quickly when you need them most. ❤️"This is a must for pregnant couples to read in preparation for parenthood. It’s a comforting and calming book that supports parents in their journey for the first year. Loved reading it!" " ❤️"Fantastic! If you are expecting a baby or are a new mum, be it your 1st, 2nd, 5th baby this book is for you. You don't have to have subscribed to hypnobirthing or mindfulness to benefit from the gentle guidance as you navigate your first days, weeks and months as a new mum. I love the stories from other mums, their honest experiences are real and comforting. I wondered if it was going to be a parenting manual - nah, its for mums, about motherhood. It has loads of easy excercises to support your up and down days. Parenting is hard and wonderful. This book steadies you as you step through it all with amazing empathy. It's not a manual or a guide, its a companion. I even get to listen to the author Sophie guide me with audios which you can download." #3rdtrimester #mindfulmamma #mindfulmama #motherhood

Wanting a waterbirth at the moment? Not sure how COVID-19 influences your choice? This great summary by @mindfulmidwife should help... Recently I have been hearing reports from midwives and pregnant women about hospitals closing their birthing pools and not allowing women to use them at this time amid fears about whether it’s safe in light of COVID-19
Will the water contribute to the spread of the virus?
Expert researchers at Oxford Brooks University have brought together research on the use of water immersion during the current global pandemic.
The statements made are really reassuring for women wanting to use water.
Key points below taken from the extremely wonderful @drsarawickham
Water immersion for healthy women is associated with a number of beneficial maternal outcomes with no known adverse risks to the neonate.
COVID-19 is not a waterborne virus, therefore the water environment dilutes respiratory droplets and faecal contamination potential.
In the Coronavirus context, water immersion presents a lower risk of contamination risk for Midwives compared with bed birth because it promotes the use of social distancing without interrupting normal midwifery care. The birthing pool environment presents a natural barrier between the woman and her Midwife.
Water immersion for labour and or birth should be supported and encouraged as an effective method of analgesia.
