You don’t have to suffer through the pain of overthinking, second guessing, and endless self doubt. Come talk about it and start enjoying the magical parts of motherhood!

I’ve taken a couple of slow summer weeks off from posting on social media and this is your PSA to switch off, breathe in the real world, and let go of the fast paced digital barrage for a bit.

Becoming a mum has added so much to the amazing, multi-faceted person you are.

It has not replaced who you used to be, but sometimes amongst the talk of sleep, milk, weaning, regressions, nappies, schedules etc etc, we don’t make time to talk about anything else.

Like your love of gigs; that summer you travelled round Europe; your thoughts on the meaning of life; how much you love to read…

She’s not gone, she’s in the background waiting for you to grab her hand and pull her back into your life. And guess what, your kids are going to love her too.

How often do you look at your baby with their perfect little toes, their shining eyes, their adorable squeals, their squishy rolls and think how totally exquisite they are.

We are all born worthy and perfect beings.

But somewhere along the way, you stopped seeing yourself in a positive light, now quick to criticise any minor mistake or imperfection as though they are who you are.

When you look in the mirror, do you see your bright eyes, your beautiful laugh lines, your body so strong and capable of growing life? Or do you only see your flaws?

We may feel like our lives leave us scarred and broken and ruined as we navigate pain, mistakes, accidents, trauma - and that therefore we’re somehow not good enough.

But what would happen if you started to look at yourself as human, just like your perfect baby, in all their humanness and see that we all entered the world that way.

Maybe there are more imperfections now, but they can still be beautiful. You are still so very loveable.

It’s birth trauma awareness week - 14th-19th July 2025.

If I asked you how the birth went, what would you say?

Every birth experience is unique to mother and baby and up to 45% of births are traumatic with 4-5% of women diagnosed with PTSD after experiencing birth trauma.

There are so many factors which may leave you feeling traumatised by your labour but you don’t have to tear, haemorrhage, have an emergency c-section, have your baby taken to the NICU, or have surgery for you birth to be traumatic.

Feeling distressed, unsafe, out of control, and frightened at any point during your labour can leave you with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, flashbacks and depression.

You don’t have to pretend it was ok because you and your baby got through it in the end. Holding in your experience and minimising its effects won’t help you feel better in the long run.

So tell me, how was the birth really?

Hard truths can be hard to hear and hard to say but can change the course of your life.

You have to find a way to take care of yourself. And I don’t necessarily mean a bubble bath (though by all means, that too). We all have basic needs - some universal and some unique to you, that must be met for you to have quality of life.

This is particularly hard for anxious mums, but it is reality that we cannot control everything. Good and bad things happen on our watch and when the baby is with their other parent, grandparent, nursery etc. We cannot control the world, the weather, accidents. Trying to control everything makes sense when you’re scared and overwhelmed but it’s is a futile pursuit.

I so often hear from mums that they feel as though they’re wasting these precious early months and years with their children by feeling low and overwhelmed. They may say in the same breath that they wish more people offered to help. If you take one thing away from this, it’s ask 👏 for 👏 help 👏. In whatever form, from someone making you a cup of tea to weekly therapy - it well makes your life and experience of being a mum better.

If you’re in the absolute thick of it right now, don’t let your mind convince you it will last forever.

Whether you’re fighting through postnatal depression or anxiety, feeling like you can’t cope, or barely getting through each day - I am certain there are better days to come.

You have endured everything you’ve come up against so far, you are so much stronger than you know.

Getting better doesn’t look like waking up one morning and everything being fixed or feeling easy. It looks like small, incremental changes. It takes time and support. And it will get better.

You still matter. Even when you’re knee-deep in meeting your baby’s needs, your needs continue to matter. When we stop paying attention to our own needs, our body and mind will begin to scream and we start to suffer.

Don’t forget to feed yourself when you feed baby; bathe yourself with tenderness like you do your baby; breathe in fresh air to boost your health, just like you do for your baby. Caring for yourself even in the stolen moments of time that are often all you get as a mum, will help you feel stronger and better able to keep caring for your child.

Mums, don’t forget you are cherished too.

If you are feeling low, anxious, and overwhelmed in motherhood, therapy can help to improve your mood, increase feelings of calm and balance.
