World Breastfeeding Week 🤱🏻 My only picture of me breastfeeding - second pic is me “topping up” my 2 day old with formula as I thought he wasn’t getting what he needed 🤦🏻‍♀️🫠 I honestly didn’t have a clue in those first few days!

We did continue our journey - and were lucky that combination feeding worked for us - but not for half as long as I would have liked, and I put that down to not having the confidence, support, and knowledge that I do now.

In 2023 I completed an Infant Feeding Peer Supporter course, and also completed feeding modules in my doula training. It was tough for me to learn what I wish I’d known when I was pregnant, but I’ve accepted that grievance now and use it to support others 💖

So proud of this second time mum! 💪🏻

She knew what she wanted from her second birth and put so much work into empowering herself with knowledge, trust and information. She used all her comfort measures and techniques that we discussed during her antenatal session to support her.

Receiving this feedback was so lovely 🥰

I’m back again 👋🏻 Back from my holiday and ready for all your summer appointments and groups! Julys diary is now almost full, with a handful of evening slots up for grabs.. Julys hypnobirthing will be one big juicy session rather than the usual two parts (I’ll be supplying snacks!) Looking forward to catching up with ongoing clients and meeting new ones too 🤰🏽👶🏻👩🏻‍🍼🧠📚🤓💻

6 years ago today, I had my very first experience of birth. My waters broke at home on 30th April 2019 and I didn’t know a THING about how my body, brain and hormones worked in birth. I was completely birth blind, the plan was to “wing it” and to “just get the baby out” 🙃🙃🙃

What followed was what I now recognise as a cascade of interventions.. ARMs (waters broken further), pessary induction, long, painful, scary labour in which I had ZERO trust in my own body (cue the fear-pain-tension cycle 🔄)…ending the following morning with an intense forceps delivery in a room FULL of people, an episiotomy ✂️ and a 7 night hospital stay 😮‍💨 I had no idea about my rights or even that I could have had a say throughout this experience. The hospital and staff were fantastic, but I believe my own lack of self trust, knowledge and confidence played a huge part.

18 months later, in my second pregnancy, I was driven to learn more about birth, and how I could have a better experience. I had a wonderful second birth and this ignited my passion for birth work, learning about the physiology and science behind birth, and how i could become an advocate and empower others to have positive birth experiences. ❤️

So happy 6th birthday (tomorrow) to my beautiful first born, bringing you into the world wasn’t easy and I wish I’d have known more - but you were worth all of it and more! And happy 6 years of motherhood to me 💪🏻
