You’ve been told you have a low-lying placenta/Placenta Praevia
Take a breath.
Around 5–10% of women hear this at their 20-week scan — and most resolve on their own as the uterus grows and the placenta moves up.
You’ll usually have a follow-up scan around 32 weeks to check.
It sounds scary.
But in most cases, it’s temporary.
If you experience any bleeding after 20 weeks, always contact your midwife or maternity unit.
Save this for your next scan 🤍
Comment if you were told this and it later moved — reassurance helps other mums.

Boy names feel deceptively simple…
until you actually have to choose one.
Strong but not harsh.
Cool but not try-hard.
Timeless but not dated.
Different but not “he’ll have to spell it forever.”
And somehow it has to suit a squishy newborn
AND a 35-year-old man with a mortgage.
No pressure 😅
Some people love the solid classics.
Some want soft, modern energy.
Some want short and punchy.
Some want something that sounds good shouted across a football pitch.
There’s no perfect name.
Just the one that feels right when you say it out loud.
👇 So tell me…
If you have a son — what’s his name?
If you’re expecting a boy — what’s on your shortlist?
And if you’re not pregnant but secretly collecting names anyway… drop your favourite.

Naming a girl feels… big.
You’re not just picking something cute for a baby.
You’re choosing the name she’ll write on school books.
Introduce herself with on first dates.
Sign on job applications.
Maybe even shout at her own children one day.
No pressure then 😅
Some of us love timeless classics.
Some want something soft and romantic.
Some want strong. Short. Cool-girl energy.
Some want a name that sounds good whispered at 3am and shouted across a park.
Whatever your vibe — there’s no “right” choice.
Just the one that feels like her.
👇 Now I want to know…
If you have a daughter, what’s her name?
If you’re pregnant with a girl, what’s on your shortlist?
And if you’re saving names for “one day” — drop your favourite.

You can prepare the nursery.
You can pack the hospital bag.
You can meal prep for weeks.
But if you don’t prepare your relationship for postpartum… that’s the bit that can wobble.
Postpartum isn’t just about a baby being born.
It’s about a mother being reborn.
A partner becoming a parent.
And two tired humans trying to find each other in the dark at 3am.
Here’s what actually helps 👇
✨ Talk about expectations now.
Who does nights? Who cooks? What happens when one of you is overwhelmed? Unspoken expectations turn into resentment.
✨ Lower the bar.
Not for love. For life.
The house will be messy. You’ll both be tired. This is survival mode, not performance season.
✨ Understand the hormones.
Oestrogen drops. Prolactin rises. Sleep disappears. Libido might vanish. This isn’t rejection. It’s biology.
✨ Plan connection that isn’t s*x.
A hug in the kitchen. Ten minutes on the sofa. A “we’re on the same team” moment. Intimacy starts there.
✨ Protect each other from burnout.
Swap shifts. Leave the house alone. Tag in, tag out. Rested parents argue less.
And most importantly
Postpartum is a phase.

Not a verdict on your relationship.

If you’re in it right now and it feels hard you are adjusting to the biggest transition of your lives.
Save this for later.
Share it with your partner.

S*x after baby?
Let’s talk about it.
Because no one prepares you for this part.
You’re cleared at six weeks…
but that doesn’t mean you’re ready at six weeks.
Your oestrogen drops.
Prolactin rises (especially if breastfeeding).
Libido can disappear.
Vaginal dryness is common.
Your body might not feel like yours yet.
And exhaustion is the biggest mood killer on earth.
None of that means your relationship is broken.
It means you had a baby.
Intimacy after birth is less about “bouncing back”
and more about rebuilding safety, connection and desire.
What actually helps:
• Go slower than you think
• Use lubricant (always)
• Start with touch, not pressure
• Talk about fears instead of avoiding them
• Strengthen your pelvic floor (yes it matters)
• Drop the timeline comparison kills connection
Desire doesn’t respond to pressure.
It responds to feeling safe, supported and rested.
If this season feels awkward, distant or confusing you are not alone.
Comment “NORMAL” if this needs to be talked about more.
Save this for later.
Share with a partner who needs to read it gently 🤍

Why is it that when dads are ill the house goes quiet…
but when mums are ill the house still runs?
This isn’t about who suffers more.
It’s about the mental load, emotional labour and default parenting that so many mums carry even when they’re running on empty.
And if we don’t talk about it?
Resentment builds quietly. Then loudly.
If you’ve ever felt this, you’re not dramatic.
You’re tired.
Before resentment festers:
✔️ Communicate early
✔️ Ask clearly
✔️ Stop assuming they “should just know”
✔️ Define what proper rest looks like
✔️ Remember you’re building a family, not scoring points
Comment “TEAM” if you’re working on better balance.
Or “TIRED” if this week has tested you.
Save this for when the next cold hits the house 🤧

Pregnancy is basically a nutrient heist.
Your baby takes what they need.
Your body… quietly makes do.

And before anyone panics, this is normal. Pregnancy is designed to prioritise the baby. But it’s also why so many mums feel absolutely wiped by the end.

Here’s what pregnancy commonly drains 👇
🧠 Iron
Used to make extra blood for you and baby.
Low levels can mean fatigue, breathlessness, and feeling like a phone on 3%.

🦴 Calcium & magnesium
Pulled to support baby’s bones, teeth, muscles and nerves.
Hello leg cramps, aches, and restless sleep.

🧬 Iodine & B-vitamins
Important for baby’s brain development — and your energy, mood and focus.
When levels dip? Brain fog city.

🧠 Choline & omega-rich nutrients
Often overlooked, but heavily used in pregnancy, especially later on.

Your body is doing exactly what it’s meant to do: giving generously.
The problem?
No one really helps you refill the tank.

Supporting yourself with regular meals, rest (as much as humanly possible), and targeted nutrition isn’t indulgent — it’s basic recovery.

You don’t get a medal for running on empty.
📌 Save this for when you wonder why you feel so depleted.
💬 Comment “DRAINED” if this explains a lot.
📩 Share with a mum who feels like pregnancy took more than she expected.

No prize for doing motherhood on hard mode 🏅

You don’t get a medal for:
• Running on 3 hours sleep
• Refusing help
• “Bouncing back” without support
• Powering through when you’re depleted

Somewhere along the way, we were sold the idea that struggling quietly = strong.

It doesn’t.
It just leaves you exhausted.

Motherhood is already physically intense.
Add hormone shifts, broken sleep, invisible labour, and the mental load… and of course it feels heavy.

You are allowed to:
✔️ Take the pain relief
✔️ Accept the help
✔️ Order the takeaway
✔️ Ask your partner to step up
✔️ Support your body properly

Strong mums don’t suffer in silence.
They build support around them.

There is no award for burnout.
But there is a better way to do this.

Save this for the days you feel like you “should” be coping better.
Share with the mum who never asks for help.
Comment HARD MODE if you’re done with it.

Cluster feeding?
This doesn’t mean you have no milk 🤍

If your baby is feeding every 30–60 minutes, especially in the evening, it can feel relentless. You start questioning everything…

“Am I producing enough?”
“Why are they still hungry?”
“Shouldn’t they be in a routine by now?”

Here’s the truth:

Cluster feeding is normal.
It’s how babies increase your milk supply.
It often happens during growth spurts.
And yes it can be absolutely exhausting.

Your baby isn’t broken.
Your body isn’t failing.
They’re communicating.

What can help:
• Set up a “feeding station” (water, snacks, charger, Netflix)
• Lower expectations for the evening
• Skin-to-skin to support supply
• Ask for help with literally everything else

It’s intense but it’s temporary.

Save this for tonight.
Send it to a breastfeeding mum who’s doubting herself.
