A day talking about shoulder dystocia organised by and my first full day away from Luna since having her & back to training since having her - big day.

Can’t rate the day enough it was so powerful and informative. I had a SD with Ned and helped facilitate a SD so had an insight before but our training does not go into the full extent of the possible life altering outcomes. Any maternity worker has to do this course!

So inspired by Mary Steen, Kim and Theo’s stories. What hit me was Kim stating “in the womb she was safe & had two functioning arms, how she was brought into the world damaged her arm and life forever!”

Food for thought research shows rates of SD are ⬆️ but injuries are ⬇️ maybe it’s thanks to training like this we are getting better at facilitating it safely.

Oh and Luna also did an amazing job at taking care of daddy too! Note to self take manual breast pump next time 🫣

My son playing with his doll this morning said - ‘my baby is hungry, I’m going to feed my baby’

should be through normal education. Like learning out A,B,C
• Never hiding breastfeeding so that the little humans see this is ‘normal’ what breasts can be used for and not sexual objects!
• anatomy of the breast in school including how milk is produced. Just as we do with every other organ in the body! Again this normalises it so when we grow up we know how to support a feeding parent and it’s not completely alien when you come to trying to feed your baby. Maybe rates would increase?
• Feed them load and proud! so others feel encouraged to do the same. I’ve been known to feed while walking round Tesco. If someone dares look at me funny or negatively comment I politely state ‘I’m sorry you are jealous I can make food from my body, goodbye✌️’

… ps. I am very aware breast feeding can be challenging and not for everyone I’ve four children and exclusively fed for years, also bottle fed and combi fed in the past but that’s a post for another day.

Bye bye year 8, 4, pre school & her first six months! I’m so proud of my kids especially in these last few weeks, so much to complete and over come but they did it … just about with a smile on their faces! Here’s to a well earned rest and family time ❤️

BIRTH TRAUMA AWARENESS WEEK

This week should create reflection to both heal and promote change.

How many over the top celebrations in pregnancy do we attend?

Gender reveal, baby shower, baby moon … but how many do we have for the mother in the postnatal period? after she’s had the longest labour, had major abdominal surgery, had a lengthy induction … how many of us have ignored her completely? but sent gifts for the baby or turned up the following day to cuddle the baby?

Let’s rethink and put all of that celebration, planning and energy into supporting mothers postnatally!! Lets plan to leave cooked food on the doorstop, send care packages, a takeaway, buy a c-section recovery massage instead of a baby gift, vouchers for placenta remedies to support her recovery, a frame for the placenta print, hold the baby while she takes a shower, buy her a cleaner for a week, collect her other children from school …

We are a materialistic society that needs to go back to simple acts of kindness to support the postnatal period and we could reduce so much of that mothers trauma! Think postnatal matters!

I HAVE THE POWER … (my sons been watching to much He-man around me! 💥

But is there any better feeling than when you share your passion with other like minded people & feel like you could chat & listen for days! It’s so powerful, you feel like that room could change the world! My head is still spinning with inspiration! Magic!

Thank you to those beautiful humans that came! My imposter syndrome was on high alert so I think I have the universe to thank for giving me a little push! Because it felt like it was meant to be! From small seeds big things grow!

Best Saturday morning spent!

I may have to be brave and do it again soon!

BREATH

Sometimes you have to just listen to your emotions and breath. This week has been full of highs and lows. Today it got to me. I knew I needed rest but my mother load meant I felt I couldn’t. Thanks to my husband he sent me to bed for snuggles & trash tv. There will always be a mother load so take a breath when you need it. And if it feels more deeper please seek to speak to those you love. Please. The NHS website discusses postnatal depression symptoms, if you find these ‘baby blues’ are beyond the early weeks or like me these thoughts have come out of no where later down the line. A recent episode of discussed bf being a trigger of negative feelings and that was like an ‘ah ha’ moment for me! Similarly for some placenta pills have lessened feels of low mood but don’t expect them to be a cure. We are all different. Research. Talk. Don’t be afraid. You aren’t alone. 💙
