This half day pregnancy retreat was full of warmth and love as we explored aromatherapy for relaxation and labour, listened to a special guided meditation and learnt some techniques and tips for late pregnancy and early labour. Follow me to be first to hear about my next pregnancy retreat being held in this same calm and beautiful Warwickshire location.

❤️💙 Dads & Partners Wanted 💙❤️

Join The Nest 🐣

Fatherhood can be joyful, but it can also be isolating, and both can exist at once. Are you a dad or non-birthing partner who wants to support others?

We’re launching a monthly online support group for dads and carers and we’re looking for male facilitators to host 1-hour Zoom sessions (you'd be needed for around 2 hours per month)

You’ll receive full training, supervision, and support, and help create a safe space for men to share openly.

We know that Dads can often suffer in silence lose a sense of identity and feel alone without support. Help us make them feel less alone. We know that some dads and non-birthing partners show up every day for their family, but who is available to show up for him?

Be the reason another dad speaks up, through PANDAS support services 🙌

Please apply via the link in the first comment below.

We are currently inviting baby service providers and suppliers to join us at our upcoming Community Baby Shower taking place at Hatchford Brook Family Hub on 9th May.

This is a wonderful opportunity to connect directly with expectant parents in our community. Each provider will have space for a pop-up stand, and additionally a 10-minute slot to share information about the services, products, or support you offer if you’d like.

We are particularly keen to hear from car seat specialists and suppliers who can offer expert advice and guidance to families preparing for their new arrival.

We would also like a maternity photographer to attend.

If you would like more information about attending, please contact Naomi@positivebirthingandbeyond.org.uk.

We’d love to have you involved in supporting local families.

Induction and the chance of a caesarean: what’s the evidence? Many factors can affect the chance of induction of labour leading to caesarean birth. This page explains why the evidence is not as clear as is often stated. www.aims.org.uk/information/item/induction-and-caesarean

Mothers will never cease to amazing me with their courage, strength and beauty even in (especially in) those times of vulnerability at birth and in those crazy early years. An extra special shoutout to those who have honoured me with allowing me to witness their journeys in Motherhood. And to those Sen parents who continue to fight, battle and empower their kids day in, day out.
