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!

Did you reach down and touch your baby’s head?

For many mums, it’s one of the most surreal experiences to reach down after hours of labouring and feel your baby for the very first time.

Often the responses are 'it's so squishy!'
Reaching down and feeling your baby can be just what you need to gather up the strength to give those final pushes.

I will never forget how strange it felt feeling my first borns head. Let me know in the comments how it felt for you.

I know you've seen these floating all over your social media feeds and as a first time mum I was led to believe I was doing things the wrong way, despite my instincts telling me to lean into what felt good.

So if this is you, I want you to know it's okay to..
Hold your baby close.
Feed your baby to sleep, no matter their age.
Feel all the emotions and let them release. It's part of your transformation mumma.
And of course you don't have to bounce back to anything. Your body has just grown and birthed, there's no need to rush back to silly societal expectations.

We've all heard something along the lines of these pieces of advice.
While advice can be a warm welcome, it can also come with a negative impact, often not intentionally.

Swipe across to read some off the advice that can ruin breastfeeding.
I'd love to hear what you heard during your journey too in the comments.

The update I really didn't want to make, but one I know is needed.

I'm taking an extended break away from teaching birth education 😭
I will no longer be holding any group birthing classes for the remainder of 2025. With a plan to return in 2026 fresh and energised.

If there is one thing I always speak to my clients about, it's looking after yourself and now I'm listening to my own advice.

This year has been rough to say the least (detailed in the slides) and my nervous system is needing a break.
I'll still be showing up here, as I know my creative spark is itching to return.

Doula support will remain and while I'm on my teaching break, I'll be taking some much needed holidays, and dedicating time to projects that I'm really passionate about.

If you're having a baby this year, congratulations. It's such an exciting time and one that will hold so many memories.

While you prepare to welcome your baby into this world there's something I want you to hear and it may already be filling your social media feeds.

You will be flooded with no -stop advice on what you should be doing to prepare for birth and beyond.

There will be some pretty loud opinions too.

Some advice I want to share with you is, if it feels too much. Step back from it. Lean into what feels right, that is your SUPERPOWER.

That will be the guide you need, not the thousands of do this and do that.

Labour land can throw you into a beautiful vulnerable state and so it's only natural to feel a little worried about how you look, sound or behave.
Honestly though, as a Doula I could not care less what noises you make, what bodily fluids leak, how you behave etc. I also am equally not bothered about the timing of your labour, the false starts. It's all part of the role and one I truly love 💕

It was never meant to be easy, but we were also never meant to do this alone with no village.
