☀️ A new week, a new chance to feel supported as you prepare for birth.

Mondays can feel a little full, a little foggy, or a little “right… where do I even start?” — and that’s completely okay. If birth prep has been sitting quietly on your mind, this is your little reminder from me that you don’t have to do it alone.

My antenatal and birth preparation sessions are here to help you take those small, steady steps towards feeling calmer, clearer and more confident.

Evidence‑based, midwife‑led, and designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re feeling organised or overwhelmed.

If this is the week you want to feel a bit more supported then get in touch with any questions that you have- I love a good old chat!

Or pop along to my website and get booking!

💚 Perinatal Mental Health: What I Want You To Know

💚 One of the things I see so often in my work is how easily parents minimise their own feelings.

💚 They tell themselves “it’s just tiredness”, “everyone struggles”, or “I should be coping better by now.”

💚 But your mental health matters just as much as your physical health — and you deserve to feel supported, not overwhelmed or alone.

The have created a simple symptom checker, and as I read through it, I kept thinking: these are the things parents often think quietly… the things they’re scared to say out loud.

💚 So here’s what I want you to hear from me:
☹️ If your mood feels different in a way that doesn’t feel like you…
☹️ If you’re having thoughts that frighten you…
🙃 If bonding feels harder than you expected…
☹️ If sleep won’t come, even when your baby is finally resting… ☹️ If guilt, shame or hopelessness are sitting heavily on your chest…
☹️ If you’re worrying constantly about food, your body, or your worth as a parent…
☹️ If you’re seeing or hearing things that don’t feel right…

💚 Please don’t brush it off.
💚 Please don’t wait.
💚 Please don’t carry it alone.

You know yourself better than anyone. If something feels “off”, that’s enough of a reason to reach out — to your midwife, GP, health visitor, or someone you trust.

And if you ever feel distressed or unsafe, going straight to A&E is the right thing to do.

You are not failing. You are not alone. You deserve care, compassion, and to be heard.

🍃 Today is TFMR Awareness Day.

💔 A day that can feel heavy, complex and deeply personal. A day many avoid talking about because it’s a tricky, painful topic — but silence only leaves families feeling more alone.

🍃 As a midwife, I have walked alongside parents facing TFMR. I have seen the love, the courage, the devastation, and the impossible weight of a decision they never imagined they would have to make.

🍃 TFMR is not a “choice”. It is love in its most painful form. It is parents protecting their baby from suffering. It is heartbreak, compassion and bravery intertwined.

🍃 And something I want to say clearly today:

🍃 If TFMR is part of your story.... you ARE still a parent.
🍃 Your baby existed.
🍃 Your love existed and carries on existing
🍃 Your identity as a parent is real and valid — no matter how short your time together was, no matter how complicated the circumstances.

🍃 You are not alone. You are not judged here. Your baby matters. Your story matters. You matter.

🍃 Working in maternity care, I know how vital it is that families receive compassionate, stigma‑free support — not just today, but every day. No one should ever walk this path feeling silenced or misunderstood.

Today, I’m holding space for every family who has faced TFMR with quiet strength and immeasurable love.

💚 A gentle reminder this Bank Holiday weekend

💚 Maternity units are still open. 💚 Triage is still open. Your care does not pause because it’s a Bank Holiday.

💚 If something doesn’t feel right, please listen to yourself. Your instincts are valid. Your concerns are valid. You are valid.

💚 You know your body and your baby better than anyone else. If you notice reduced movements, new symptoms, changes that worry you, or you think labour may be starting — please contact your maternity unit. You will be listened to. You will be taken seriously. You deserve timely, compassionate care.

💚 And if you’d like more support understanding what’s normal, what’s not, and when to reach out, my antenatal sessions are here to help you feel informed, confident, and prepared — even on weekends like this.

💚 You’re not alone in this. You’re held. You’re supported. Always.

🌿 Self‑Care Sunday for New Mums 🌿
From your midwife who knows you’re currently held together by caffeine, hormones, and the crumbs of whatever you managed to eat one‑handed 🤍
If your newborn has slept a total of 47 minutes in the last 24 hours, your hair has entered its “creative era,” and you’ve reheated the same cup of tea three times… congratulations, you’re doing amazing, sweetie. 😂
Today’s carousel is here to remind you that:
✨ Eating a meal that didn’t come from a packet = a win
✨ Drinking water before your soul feels crispy = self‑care
✨ Lying down scrolling because you “rested your eyes” = valid
✨ Passing baby over for 10 minutes so you can shower = heroic
✨ Crying because your toast broke = absolutely normal
Motherhood in the newborn stage is wild, wonderful, messy, emotional, and occasionally powered by biscuits at 3am. But you are doing it — and you’re doing it brilliantly.
So here’s your official midwife‑approved permission slip to take a tiny moment for you today… even if it’s just hiding in the bathroom for three minutes of peace. 😅
Happy Self‑Care Sunday, lovely mums 💛

💡 Friday Midwife Fact – The Return of the Period 💡

Aka: The Postnatal Plot Twist Nobody Can Predict 😂

Did you know…?
After having a baby, your period basically goes on its own annual leave — and doesn’t bother to tell you when it’ll be back.
🩸Formula or mixed feeding?
Your period may return as early as 6–8 weeks postpartum.
(Yes, she is keen and absolutely did NOT get the memo.)

🩸 Breastfeeding?
Your hormones might keep your period away for months — sometimes right up until you reduce or stop feeding.
Think of prolactin as the overprotective bouncer at the club:
"No entry. Not tonight. Not on my watch."
⚠️ The plot twist:
You can ovulate before your first period.
Translation: your body may quietly restart the baby‑making machine without sending a courtesy email and you may be back to see the midwives before you even realise 😉

So if you’re wondering when your period will return, the honest answer is:
.. Whenever she feels like it.
She’s dramatic. She loves a surprise. And she definitely enjoys keeping you on your toes. 😅

Let me know how long before your period came back?? TMI 🤪
