❤️ ONE THING ❤️

How do you want to experience birth?

Your birth story sticks with you. Far longer than you might yet realise.

There's one common factor in all the birth stories I hear...and I hear a lot!

What will you tell me about your birth?

DM now to explore doula support. Very limited space for 2025, booking in to 2026!

⏰️ DUE DATES ⏰️

You know when your baby is due.

You know when your last period was 🩸(probably!)
You know when you had s*x 🍆😂
If you've used assisted reproduction, you might even have a photo of the exact moment of implantation! 🤯🔥

Your due date scan holds a lot of power... but that machine does not know all the things things you know.

TOP TIP
If you're questioning your NHS due date...it does matter (or it will further down the line!) Get YOUR due date noted on your records.

DM now to explore doula support. Limited capacity for 2025 births - now booking in to 2026!

✈️ HOLIDAY MUSINGS! ✈️

Are you feeling some trepidation about your upcoming birth?

I feel you!

I used to be such a casual flyer. Strolling on to the plane, no stress. Not so much nowadays! 😬

Now, we're back from hols...and here's some of my mid-flight thoughts 😂

🧘‍♀️ POST NATAL YOGA UPDATE 🧘‍♀️

From September, I'll no longer be running with set term dates for mum and baby yoga! Yoga truly offers valuable tools for parenting, when the rest of your life might feel in flux, it's essential and now easier to access!

You can join post natal yoga whenever you are ready, no need to wait for a new term to start. I suggest waiting 6-8 weeks after birth is best (enjoy getting to know your baby first!)

Continue sessions up until baby is crawling (when it becomes much less relaxing for you!) No need to second guess when it'll no longer work for you both, just keep on coming as long as you feel comfortable.

Just as you're used to with Pregnancy Yoga, book a block of 5 sessions (to be used within a 6 week period), with a discounted rate to reward your commitment, or join for individual sessions for more flexibility. And as with pregnancy yoga, book your mat asap so you don't miss out!

Classes start back from 3rd September. Save the date!
Book via my website over in my bio and don't miss out!

See you on the mat soon
Kim ❤

🤱 BREASTFEEDING TIPS 🤱

You know breastfeeding is natural in that it's the biological norm, but you don't actually know how it really all works...?

I love to remind people it's natural more like walking, than breathing! It has to be learned, observed and practiced.

Just like birth, the more you prepare, learn and reflect on what you are bringing to the table, the better equipped you'll be for breastfeeding success. In fact, your prep might mean common challenges DON'T even arise!

Swipe and save for some pregnancy tips - my key things to support your breastfeeding journey, before you get there!

🤱 BREASTFEEDING 🤱

You want to breastfeed. You've heard so many amazing things about it...that newborn breastcrawl?! Amazing!

But have you heard about any of these things?

These are things that surprised or challenged me in my early breastfeeding journey, or just things I didn't even know were options, and I think you are woman enough to be able to handle the truth!

Some of these might crop up for you, some might not. Maybe you'll have other challenges - always reach out for support. There are places to get it.

Kim ❤️

P.s. This isn't medical advice and individual circumstances always should factor in outside of instagram!

🤱 WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK 🤱

Breastfeeding matters. Not just to health, but to YOU.

I can say that pretty confidently because at least 80% of people start breastfeeding in the UK...and many of them stop before they are ready. Easy access to good support can be hard to come by when this is (yet another) part of women's wellness that is underfunded and overlooked.

There is support out there, but often we have to find it ourselves, and sometimes pay for it ourselves too. It's a massive error when actually it isn't about women's health...it's everyone's health.

It's mostly run by volunteers. How lovely, yes, but can you imagine this happening for mens health? Erecitle dysfunction? Just go and talk to this volunteer who's also been through it...

Anyway, before I get too on my soap box 🤣

Breastfeeding matters. More than you might yet realise.

I thought we'd combi feed...but there was this inexplicable, primal urge in me to make it work, so we did a lot to make it work. It was pretty challenging at the beginning, mainly mentally, but it got easier and more enjoyable over time.

I thought we'd stop at 6 months then use formula (because that's what the ads say) and here we are at a year, feeding through a heatwave! Almost exactly 7 years ago to the day 🥹

I thought I was in charge(!) but when I let her lead the way, it was all so much easier.

I thought so many things about breastfeeding...many of them wildly off the mark. I'm going to use this week to share some tips if you're pregnant and to bust some myths, so that if you want to breastfeed too, you're a little better prepared. Watch this space!

You can, of course, choose not to breastfeed. But I want this to be a real choice, not one you felt forced into because the support and education you deserved weren't there.

The surprise joy in becoming a Mother is that the tough times can also be beautiful and immensely rewarding. Parenting shows you things can be hard, and you can do it anyway - just like birth.

I can support you to get ready for feeding your baby in pregnancy, or when they are here. TREPIDATION TO TRUST for borth...and parenthood! DM if you want to know more,
Kim ❤️

🙃 BREECH BABY 🙃

If you are told you have a breech baby, it's very likely to make you worry and you might feel like your birth options are limited.

But have you actually got the whole picture?

Support for breech birth is wildly different just between the 2 hospitals in Bristol. In fact, even between consultants in the same hospital sometimes!

Some things I want you to know about birth, even with 'breech' babies:

✨️Nothing is definite in pregnancy and birth.
✨️There is always a choice.
✨️Any assessment is a snap shot in time...things can change.

Explore your options - there's more than you think! DM to explore doula support

💕 SELF CARE DAY... 24/7? 💕

You're pregnant, and your relationship with self-care might be changing.

Perhaps it's something you didn't even think about much before?

Or it might be the things that worked before don't anymore?

Now you have someone else to think about, you might be more keen to prioritise your self care...

Tomorrow is Self Care Day - apparently, the date of 24th July was chosen for this event to symbolise that self-care can be practiced “24 hours a day/7 days a week".

If you're a new parent already, you might be laughing a little at this right now! 😂

I actually think 24/7 self care is a bit unreasonable myself... There are times when your self care is going to take a back seat...being a new parent is likely to be one. This isn't necessarily bad, it's a phase to work through, but if you can put things in place NOW that help you take care of yourself, this is going to support you in so many ways.

Join me at Yoga to practice resting. Resting completely.

Pregnancy yoga is continuing through most of the Summer:

💕Tuesdays at The Langton, 6.30-7.45pm

💕Thursdays at Hanham Community Centre, 6.30-7.45pm

💕Post natal yoga is taking a pause, but we'll be back from 3rd September - book on now to save your spot.

See you on the mat soon!
Kim ❤️
