Absolutely delighted to be back at Class this evening after almost 6 months off. I throughly enjoyed being back with 4 first time mums and 2 ladies who have been to my classes before. When Women return with their 2nd & 3rd pregnancy and women spread the word it really fills my heart with so much gratitude and I am truly blessed. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕Tonight was Bittersweet though as I will unfortunately not be around the hospital/ home when any of these ladies deliver their babies as I have unfortunately made the decision to hand in my resignation from Midwifery due to my back troubles. I started my Midwifery Training in 2008 and have worked in the Southern Trust for 16 years as a midwife…. It has been such a privilege to care for women in their pregnancy, Labour, Birth & Postnatally - I will definitely miss working as a midwife however I am so lucky that I can still support and care for women & their families through my Antenatal classes, breastfeeding support & Reflexology…. The doors not closing, just evolving 💕💕💕 I will get the next term For May / June up on my website soon. Love Always Oonagh 💕

From my house to yours Merry Christmas …. Thank you to everyone who has supported my small business this year…..even though I have paused for the last few months I am hopefull I will be back at some stage in 2026 if I can manage my pain.
This year has had so many sad moments and I am sending love to my cousins who are spending their first Christmas without their dad ( uncle James ) and mum ( my aunt Mairead ). I am also sending love to 2 very important friends whose children are with the angels way too early. To everyone else who has lost loved ones this year my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
May 2026 bring peace and healing to all those who are suffering.
Love Oonagh

Stress during pregnancy has a profound impact on both the mother and the developing baby. According to research from NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia University involving 187 pregnant women, maternal stress can influence the baby’s growth, brain development, and even determine whether the baby is born male or female. When a mother experiences high levels of stress, hormones like cortisol can cross the placenta, affecting the fetus’s brain structure and overall development. This disruption may lead to long-term emotional or cognitive challenges later in life. Therefore, supporting maternal mental health during pregnancy is essential for promoting healthier outcomes for both mother and child.

Prolonged crying without comfort can overstimulate a baby’s stress response system, flooding their body with cortisol and adrenaline. According to the Institute for the Study of Children, Family and Social Issues, this can interfere with brain growth and the formation of healthy neural connections during critical early stages. When stress hormones remain elevated, they may alter the development of the limbic system—the part of the brain that regulates emotion and attachment. Over time, these changes can contribute to anxiety, difficulty with trust, and emotional regulation issues later in life. Responding to a baby’s cries with care and reassurance supports both neurological development and long-term emotional health.

Folks Apologies as I know I have had lots of enquiries about future class dates but I have been holding off with dates as I have been struggling with fibromyalgia flare up now for some time. I have decided to take a little time off to see if Rest will help ease the symptoms so hopefully I will be back soon. 💕💕
