Ahh that first week after baby arrives is quite a time.
There will be the most incredible highs and then there will be the lows. It can feel like you've been thrown onto a rollacoaster unwillingly and yet despite the challenges there's no place you'd rather be.

So feel it all, the highs, the lows, because it's all part of the journey.
You don't need to be taking big steps this first week. Take the baby ones and tread slowly.

You've got this 💕

If you're choosing to birth in a hospital, please know your experience can be so empowering.

It can hold the support just like that of any other birth.
It can hold trust just like any other birth.
It can be respected just like any other birth.

There is no 'better way' to birth.
Your birth is no less than anyone else's who chooses to birth elsewhere.

With a good team around you. Anything is possible.

Throwback to my third hospital birth. The most incredible experience of my life, surrounded by the most trusting and supportive team 💕

Imagine if we were supported and encouraged to mother intuitively and as Mother Nature intended...?

With human milk available for human babies...
With mothers expected to dote on their tiny newborns...
For co-dependence to be considered healthy, not problematic...
For raising our children to be seen as important work...
For a troop of support to be standard postpartum...
For breastfeeding wisdom to be passed from one generation to the next?

Imagine...

Tis the season to be kind on yourself mumma.

Save these gentle reminders for when you need a little reassurance and reminder of just how amazing you are.

🚶‍♀️MOBILISING POST BIRTH🚶‍♀️

The first time you get out of bed following the birth of your baby can be quite different to what you may have expected. Remember this is a time of adjustment so be gentle yourself.

Below are some things to know about getting up.

🥪 Try to have a little something to eat and drink before you get up to increase your sugar levels.
🤢 As you sit or stand up you may have feelings of nausea or light-headedness wash over you. Take your time, there is no rush. Remember to breathe slowly.
🦶 Your adrenaline levels will be reducing following the birth and this can leave you with the ‘shakes’ causing you to feel unsteady on your feet. Again, take your time or have your midwife walk with for support.
🩸 It is normal to feel a gush of blood when you stand up, keep a pad between your legs or the dry flow sheet.
🚽 It is important you let your midwife know when you pass your first wee post birth.
🤰 What once was a rock-hard belly, will replicate more like jelly on a plate and feel quite bizarre. This will pass in time. Laugh with the jiggle!
🚿 The feeling of that warm water as you stand or sit in the shower will feel like heaven on earth…. literally! Feel free to take your time under the warm water, you deserve it mama. Just don't have it too hot!
🪑There will also be a chair for extra support whilst you shower and dress afterwards.
👶As your showering, this is the perfect time for your partner to have their skin to skin moment with bubs.
👕 Remember to pack nice comfy clothing for after birth.
😴 It’s ok to feel exhausted, you have just run a marathon. Take it slow and rest.

Save this post and share to any mama you know who is preparing for birth.

If like me you find yourself in this weird season I'm sending you a heartfelt 'I get it, I really truly get it'

I've had moments of wanting to be pregnant or early postpartum again because it felt easier than this weird but new season. There was so much stillness that allowed my mind to settle whereas this new state is messy and loud.

And while I'm enjoying aspects of it like every other season I've entered and journeyed through, there are times I wish I could hit pause.

No one really speaks of this season so I'm sharing it with you and leaving it on the grid to validate anyone else here 💕

People will tell you that you can't prepare for most things in parenting but I tend to disagree.

What you can't prepare for is how you will feel and this is because during transitions there are some big feelings that surface. But you can prepare for things by asking yourself:

What can I expect after birth
What can I put in place when I return home
How can I support my baby in the first few months.
What conversations do I need to have with my partner.
What are some simple self care tools I can use that will fill my cup.
What approach do I want to take when it comes to sleep.

One thing that always rings true, is we have the answers, we just have to believe in ourself. During times of transition it can be hard, but always come back to your core values and what is feeling right in that moment.

Tell me your 'I had no idea moments' in the comment section.

Where are all my pregnant girls at.
If you're pregnant or have been I'm sure you've heard more than once these comments that can quite frankly become irritating quickly.

These are just some of the comments that get made.
I'd love to know what comment irritated you the most.

The big ones for me were comments about my body!
