A shout out to all of the mums to be out there in this heat 🤰

Today is going to be HOT 🔥🔥🔥

If you’re pregnant and suffering in the heat, here’s some top tips to keep you cool!

☀️ stick a bowl of ice in front of a fan to create your own cheap air conditioning

☀️ get those ice lollies out of the freezer! Make your own using your favourite juices or freeze home made smoothies!

☀️ if you’re 37 weeks or over, chill raspberry leaf tea in the fridge to sip on

☀️ wear light cotton clothing, or nothing at all!

☀️ stay in the shade as much as possible

☀️ close the curtains to keep indoors cooler

☀️ keep your moisturiser and face spritz in the fridge to keep you feeling refreshed

What other tips have you used to keep cool in the scorching heat this summer?

So over the weekend and today my mind has been racing. I felt tired and just couldnt be bothered. My kids were fighting and I was losing it with them and then worrying that I am starting to shout a bit too much.

Then as all good parents do, I was worrying about them and their emotional state 😥

So today I took them out on their bikes and I was still feeling this mind racing awfulness I feel when I'm tired and feel like I have so much on my mind. The kids wanted to stop by the river so we did, they then took their shoes off and went in. In my mind I was thinking YES this is the little break I need so that I can do my exercises whilst they play and at least I will have 5 minutes!

Then my youngest called me over, he said "mammy look I've found a perfect place for us to relax, look mammy its beautiful and I've found us a special stone so that you can do your Reiki"....well that was it, I was an emotional wreck and I was immediately transported to the here and now, and it was as if a big weight just shifted from my shoulders. I sank into the earth beneath me and sat in silence and in absolute awe of my beautiful child. 🥰

He knew what to do to make me feel better and he could obviously see that I have been tired and struggling, because let's face it dont we all have those days.❤

So I sat with him and for the first time on our run/bike ride together, I noticed the beauty of where we were. I didnt think about my worries, the future or the past because none of that mattered. All that matters is that we are all trying our best, that's all we can do at this weird time ❤

How cool is it that he knows how to relax at such a young age, so I am doing something right 🥰 At least when he grows he will know how to relax, unlike his mammy who needs a push in the right direction from time to time😉

We are all doing our best just breathe ❤ Sending lots of love to those that need it right now 🥰

Look after yourself and give yourselves a break when you realise you need one 💕

You've got this! You amazing mammas to be ❤

Remember pregnant ladies...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When this is all over (and it will be!), you will be the women who were pregnant/gave birth during a global pandemic. You're the ones who faced the unthinkable and soldiered on because you had to. If you can go through this, you can go through anything.

You’ve got this! Super Mum! ❤️
