Postpartum puppy diaries… 🐶🤍

We got our new puppy this week!

Firstly, let me preface this by saying I have had 3 children and I absolutely understand that a baby and a puppy are very different, it’s quite simply just not the same.

Having said that… having a puppy has reminded me of a few things:

• Newborns wake and feed a lot
• There is no routine
• Day and night are a 24-hour cycle
• A mother’s work is never done
• Preparation is key
• Your support system is everything
• Sleep and eat when you can
• There are no moments to switch off
• Your mind wanders to worst-case scenarios
• You can’t sleep@waiting for the next wake
• Your constantly questioning your care
• Everybody wants to visit and cuddle the cute new addition, but no one brings food or does the washing 🤣
• You want to trust your instincts, but there is so much noise
• The cries pull at your heartstrings
• You try to be calm while simultaneously feeling incredibly anxious

This season is intense, messy, exhausting and consuming but it is also temporary…..

Trying to remind myself of this. ✌️🫠🤣

THRUSH thrives in warm, moist, hormonal conditions, so this time of the year in pregnancy and postpartum it can be very common.

Some women report pain as high as 8/10 and strongly consider ending their breastfeeding journey because of it.

Please reach out to a GP, midwife, IBCLC if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.

Heading into a new year I hope this information is helpful.

I’ll still peek at emails, just not as quickly as usual.
See you fresh and ready in 2026!

THIS WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE!

I’m a bit lost for words so I thought I would just attach my speech I wrote for last night and didn’t even look at. 🤣

Thank you to everyone who came. 🥹❤️

I just wanted to start by welcoming everyone. I know how much effort it takes to get yourself organised, get out of the house, and show up so truly, congratulations and thank you.

I started The Womb Rooms completely blind - no business skills, no grand plan… I still don’t. What I did have was a big passion and that “oh, f$&@ it” moment. I knew if I didn’t just start, it would never happen. So almost a year ago, I saw my very first client, and off I went.

One year on, I’m thankful to say I am as busy as I have the capacity for while juggling being a mum, a wife, and my hospital work and I absolutely love it. I’m so proud of this community we’ve built together. My little business has grown through Instagram and word of mouth, and I’m genuinely so grateful for every single one of you for supporting me, sharing my work, talking about what I do, and trusting me with your families.

I remember when I first became a mum, how lonely and isolating it can feel. The days were long, the identity shift is huge. Motherhood can be hard, so special, so beautiful but hard and I believe that it is better done with support and friends hence this little gathering.

I wanted to make this event something that resonated with me and If you know me, you know I love making friends, being social, having a drink, and connecting with people. So here we are!

I hope you all have a beautiful afternoon, go home with at least one new friend, and leave feeling like your self-care cup is just a little bit fuller… until next time.

Special thanks to for the stunning images and for always being my wing woman.

MY TOP TIP WHEN GOING FROM 1-2 KIDS..

Welcoming your second baby can feel like your heart (and hands!) are being stretched in two directions.

One of my top tips for welcoming a second baby is to carve out just 15 minutes of uninterrupted one-on-one time each day with your firstborn.

I often say Mother Nature has a way of making things work…….after that morning feed when your newborn goes back down for a nap, make yourself a cuppa, sit down with your older child and simply be present.

Sounds simple but “uninterrupted” is the goal here…... It’s known as “Watch, wait, and wonder”….Let them lead the play, no need to direct or initiate, just join in if they invite you. Tell them it’s special time for them and mummy and you can do whatever they choose.

It doesn’t need to be structured or elaborate sometimes it’s chatting, playing, doing a puzzle, or just sitting together side by side . But it fills their cup, helps them feel secure and sets the tone for a more regulated day.

Research shows that even 10–15 minutes of focused attention a day can strengthen your child’s emotional resilience, reduce sibling rivalry, and help them adjust to their new role.

Give it a try…these little moments can make a big difference.

IF THERE IS something you have been wanting, wishing, waiting to do for yourself this is your sign to DO IT!

I had the most incredible massage with Catee yesterday. We’ve been circling in each other’s work realms for a while, and I’ve heard about her beautiful work especially with caesarean scars. Something in me knew it was time to book in with her, and I’m so glad I did.

It was the most intuitive, sensual, and deeply nurturing massage, such a gift as a mother to be touched with no expectations. It was exactly what my body had been craving.

I’ve been left with so many feelings and insights today, and a deep sense of gratitude for this gorgeous woman and the work she does.

Ifyou are local do yourself a favour and book in for a c section recovery, pregnancy or remedial massage with Catee….

You won’t regret it!

There is a difference between engorgement, blocked ducts and mastitis but they can be closely linked. One can easily lead to the next…

Knowing how to spot the difference and manage appropriately can make all the difference.

I speak a lot about lymphatic breast massage to help resolve congestion which can lead to the above.

The beautiful Erin from .the.embodied.mother has an amazing lymphatic massage sequence that is so helpful to show you how to do it effectively.

Also some physics and IBCLC’s provide specific ultrasound to treat mastitis, engorgement and inflammation of the breast which can be very helpful.

Please like, share, save or send to a friend who might need this.
