Thinking of all the beautiful babies taken too soon and their families who I met during my time on labour ward and beyond 💜 lots of candles will be getting lit at 7pm in their memory

Always here if anyone needs a chat or support 💞

"This is not what you had planned. This is not what you’d envisioned. There are no visits from friends, no loving doula bringing you soup, no “mommy and me” yoga classes, no coffee dates, no stroller walks through the park. There is empty space where you had planned comfort and company. There are long days with no one but your little one to talk to and this big transition to navigate all alone.

I know it’s lonely, mama. I know the walls of your house feel tight and the days feel so long, and you crave a warm hand on your knee and the soft embrace of a friend. You wish for someone by your side to marvel at this beautiful baby of yours and to wrap an arm around you when the feelings get too big and scary.

We were never meant to do this alone. Motherhood has never been a solitary sport. And yet here we are, in this odd chapter of isolation and distance, with no choice but to do it by ourselves.

But mama, know this- We are alone. Together. You are surrounded all the other mothers who are navigating this tender time in isolation. You are held by all of us who have walked the path before you and who know how much you must be hurting. You are wrapped in the warm embrace of mama earth, as she too settles into this time of slowness and healing.

This too shall pass. And when it does, hugs and coffee dates and visits from friends will taste so much sweeter. Soft kisses on your cheek and arms around your waist and gentle laughter in your ear will be the joyful medicine after this trying time.

Until then, hunker down mama. Find the coziest, warmest spot on your couch, sink into the pile of unfolded laundry, and sleep the Spring away, with that sweet babe warm on your chest."

You are not alone mama.

So I carved pumpkins tonight with my little lads 🎃 🎃 and now I’m at work with another fabulous mother..... thought this was quite apt in summing up my day 😃 happy Halloween to all you wonderful parents out there! Your little pumpkins don’t know how lucky they are

*edited* this wasn’t my own actual carving 🤣🙈 sorry if I misled you into thinking I was really crafty and artistic ☺️

For anyone who is keen to get some fresh air and exercise. I would highly recommend Wendy’s classes. Meet other new mums and take your baby along too..... what’s not to love 😍 👶🏼 Buggyfitglasgowsouth

Hate the thought of anyone feeling alone or isolated when up with their wee ones overnight. I’ve been there and I know it can be hard. Well I’m going to be up overnight working so if you feel like a chat/moan or both feel free to PM 🤗
