Attended a fabulous study day today on VBAC, & came away thinking of this…

All wisdom does not flow from Midwives or ‘Birth Experts’ as sometimes known. Midwifery and birth support is about supporting Parental discovery in a ever evolving process….

It is not our journey, it is theirs 💗

Hey Everyone, Happy Friday,

My name is Yvette, I am a mother of three, experienced midwife, massage and aromatherapist and I live in West London.

During my own recent maternity experience I developed an overwhelming desire to support expectant mothers, birthing parents local families, in my own community. Providing care that is affordable, but consistent and personable.

I have the time to speak, i can see you where you and want and at what time you choose.

Pick my brains!

I support with Antenatal care, Postnatal care, breastfeeding support and holistic services.

This is real personalised care.
This is real Individualised care.

Please contact me for a free clarity call and see how I can help you

YES IT IS!

Baby Brain is a term thrown around so loosely, but it is an actual phenomenon, not just a myth!

Studies show that pregnancy and motherhood can affect cognitive abilities, like memory and attention.

It’s through my own recent (6 months ago) postpartum experience that I’m like YO- this sh #% is REAL!

But don't worry, it's not all bad news - this brain fog is actually a sign of your brain adapting to new challenges and responsibilities! So embrace the chaos, mamas - you're literally growing your brain. 🧠💪

It’s March 2019... & NICE have published guideline that gives scope, empowers women’s choice and us a midwives to support individual choice....my attention is particularly drawn to Section 1.19-on Previous Caesarean Section... more conversation, more choice/respect, more normality for those wishing to VBAC! Interesting read... What do you think??
