Beautiful words from Marion Yoga for Mama 👌

Hey mamas,

As we are closing the birth trauma awareness week, I wanted to share with you 3 things that I have been told through my life and that really helped me after the birth of my second daughter:
1. My mum used to tell me ‘No one can ever take away from you the way you feel. Your feelings are yours, and no one else will ever be exactly in your shoes to understand them’
2. ‘You can grief the birth you did not have’, a sentence the beautiful Janene from the Belmont Birth Centre told me on day 4 of my postpartum, while I could not shake the profound sadness I felt despite being home and healthy with a beautiful and healthy baby with me
3. ‘Trauma lies in the eye of the beholder’ is something I discussed with my friend Lauren () who is a doula in Sydney. No one can ever tell you how you should feel about your birth! Actually the same birth event would even feel different for another birthing person because you is you and they are they

You might already know that up to 1 in 3 women in Australia have experienced Birth Trauma. Trauma can be physical and/ or psychological.
I don’t want to share this to upset anyone or create inappropriate fear to mums-to-be. I want to share this to tell you that you are not alone, that you can be ready, and that it is now my mission to help women to prepare their body and their mind for birth, as well as to support them physically and mentally after birth with perinatal yoga.
My babies’ births and my own rebirths (as a mum of one and a mum of two) gave me a strong sense of purpose. I am working with women, for women, for you mamas.

Take care of yourself.

With love and kindness,
Marion x

Great read on the energy of this month by Raising Vibrations.

“Our ego is about to be shattered as we realise we have missed out on so many experiences due to false beliefs about ourselves that have kept us stuck repeating the same karmic patterns and painful lessons. Many of us have spent so long trying to be good enough for those around us, we have ended up compromising and suppressing our innate nature and in many ways we have forgotten how to be our truest, most authentic selves.”

What belief about yourself can you start to shift & let go of this month?

Karma is clearing

Love this post. If it’s affecting you, then it matters!

I wanted a vaginal birth and to breastfeed without pain.

But they said: "a healthy baby is all that matters" and "fed is best".

So I guess it didn't really matter.

I wanted to see my friends and go to the supermarket alone sometimes.

But they said: "this is what you wanted, isn't it?" and "aren't kids just the best?"

So I guess it didn't really matter.

I wanted a safe space to talk about how tired I was, how hard it was to juggle all the things and how lonely I could feel on occasion.

But they said: "well, you brought this upon yourself" and "that's the rod you made for your own back".

So I guess it didn't really matter.

I wanted to grieve my body and everything it went through to bring my babies into the world.

But they said: "just embrace the change" and "what did you expect?"

So I guess it didn't really matter.

I wanted to cry, I wanted to fit - beyond being the glue that held it all together.

But they said: "motherhood is a blessing" and "you should be grateful".

So I guess it didn't really matter.

I wanted to put down the weight upon my shoulders; it was crushing me.

Because it did matter.

It does matter.

It will never stop mattering. 🖤

A Halloween funny 😄

Shared by my midwife Kelly Brandt who helped me birth BOTH my babies! How special is that! 🥰

23/10/2021

This is so beautiful 🥰

“When pregnant, the cells of the baby migrate into the mothers bloodstream and then circle back into the baby, it’s called “fetal-maternal microchimerism”.⁠

For 41 weeks, the cells circulate and merge backwards and forwards, and after the baby is born, many of these cells stay in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the mothers tissues, bones, brain, and skin, and often stay there for decades. Every single child a mother has afterwards will leave a similar imprint on her body, too.

Even if a pregnancy doesn't go to full term or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into your bloodstream.

Research has shown that if a mother's heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the site of the injury and change into different types of cells that specialize in mending the heart.

The baby helps repair the mother, while the mother builds the baby.

How cool is that?

This is often why certain illnesses vanish while pregnant.

It’s incredible how mothers bodies protect the baby at all costs, and the baby protects & rebuilds the mother back - so that the baby can develop safely and survive.

Think about crazy cravings for a moment. What was the mother deficient in that the baby made them crave?

Studies have also shown cells from a fetus in a mothers brain 18 years after she gave birth. How amazing is that?”

If you’re a mom you know how you can intuitively feel your child even when they are not there….Well, now there is scientific proof that moms carry them for years and years even after they have given birth to them.

I find this to be so very beautiful.”

“I’m on the path to reducing my incessant questioning & instead simply listening.

Thank you for providing me with the message I needed to hear today. I am truely grateful, albeit slightly shocked.”

So great to see this article in a Marie Claire mag.

“Many women have traumatic births but push it aside as if it doesn’t matter as long as they have a healthy baby. Yet it’s important to have these conversations so that they can potentially change the course for their children & their children’s children”. Zoe Naylor
