Unwrinkle your forehead
Unclench your jaw
Drop your shoulders
Stretch your back
Stand up and go outside
Breathe in for 4 and out for 4.

I’m a midwife, so when I was writing my birth plan I had a really good idea of what kinds of births there are and what I really didn’t want.
I planned a homebirth and hoped I would labour by myself, avoiding all interventions.
However, after an induction of labour at 41 weeks + 6 days, hyperstimulation, an epidural that wore off and a cervix stubbornly hanging out at 4cm but no further... I asked for a C Section.
A relaxed, no drama, happy belly birth on my own terms.
In theatre I laughed and cried and cry-laughed when I saw my baby’s face for the first time. What a fu***ng magical, cosmic moment.

It wasn’t the birth I planned. But I knew where my line was and what I wasn’t willing to do. I didn’t want synthetic oxytocin, or an instrumental birth. I didn’t want to be labouring for days on no sleep, with an epidural either too heavy or too light.
What is right for one person is wrong for another. No judgement. Birth is personal.

In the end I chose to meet my boy in an operating theatre, surrounded by colleagues, best friends and my husband Jack. The love in that room was a wonder drug. I felt safe, supported, and in control. I felt like a superhuman. That’s how it should be.
And I have a thin white scar line on my body to remind me.

It’s the squeezed in N on Knock for me 😂
What tips do you have for those first few weeks?

[ID: a handwritten notice taped haphazardly to a wooden front door. It reads ‘Newborn baby sleeping. please leave packages here and don’t knock. thank you!’. Someone missed the N on Knock and had to add it in after!]

“Real Self Care”

Self care is a total buzz word and we feel like it has sort of lost all meaning.
It’s been co-opted by capitalism and now it seems like it’s more about consuming products than it is about prioritising ourselves and our community’s wellbeing.
Is it really just face masks? Is it really crystal rollers? Is it really spending money for spending money’s sake?

Or is real self care:

-therapy
-focusing on human connection
-time away from screens
-getting outside into a green space
-moving our body in a way that feels good
-enjoying ALL foods- rejecting the ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bu****it
-ma********on
-creating and maintaining good boundaries
-sleeping when we need to
-making something for someone else
-finding and helping out a local charity
-watching a plant grow
-speaking to ourselves in the way we would speak to our best friend
-insisting on time to heal, grow and learn new things
-nachos
-…sometimes a face mask

How are you committing to real self care this year?

“Nesting”

You’ve probably heard about how in the weeks before they go into labour, people ‘nest’.
What does that bring to mind?
People nest in different ways. Whatever your body is telling you to do, go with it. It will help you feel safe, secure and boost your oxytocin.

My nesting looked like this:

-Demanding we flip the mattress right NOW
-Frenzy cleaning followed by exhaustion naps
-Waking up one morning convinced we didn’t have enough clothes (even though we definitely did). So because I’m a knitter- I got my knitting on and boshed out piece after piece for days. I didn’t do ANYTHING else. It felt so good to just knit and be making something for my baby.
-Batch cooking freezer meals and crying when George Michael came on the radio.

Have you experienced the nesting urge? What does it feel like for you?

Birth Horror stories.
Unwelcome comments about your body.
‘Enjoy sleep now while you can!’
‘Helpful’ suggestions.
Questions about your choices.
Unsolicited advice.
One Born Every Minute… actually, every TV show ever that depicts birth.

Is it any wonder so many of us find pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood scary and overwhelming?
We’re set up to doubt ourselves from the get go. To feel on the back foot, that we are failing before we even begin. To mistrust our bodies and our instincts.
It’s a culture of pure fear.

Affirmations are your daily dose of NO THANK YOU to this mindset.
They are a kind of antidote to the constant stream of fear and anxiety-inducing negativity thrown at pregnant people and new parents.

You can write your own affirmations- positive statements about yourself, birth, and your baby. It’s ok if they only make sense to you. It’s ok if you feel a bit naff saying them out loud. It’s ok to borrow from someone else!

You can jot them out and stick them up where you can see them every day.
Little by little, these encouraging, calming and uplifting statements will help your unconscious mind to let go of fear and anxiety.
You’ve got this.

[image ID: four brown cards laid out on a floral background. They are handwritten affirmations

Top right reads ‘I have everything I need already’.
Bottom left reads ‘my baby and I work together’.
Bottom right reads ‘my body is wise’. ]
