‘One small positive thought or action in the morning can change your whole day.’ I’m back… For my readers, apologies it’s been a while since my last blog. So a quick down-load on what’s been happening with me. To begin there are several reasons I have not been blogging the past 2 months. I started […]
WARNING: There is an image in this post of me giving birth to Lennox NOTE: if you are a mother and have been through a birth or are soon to be. Please be aware that everyone’s story and situation is different. No mother is the same. No baby is the same. But whatever your story […]
It’s funny how once you have a baby people are automatically asking you when and if you’re going to have another child. I mean I always hoped to have 2-3 children but no way was I going to consider it until Maeve was at least 1. I was enjoying every minute of her plus juggling […]
Here is our petite little girl Maeve at 3 days old… weighing in at 6.2 ounds (how lucky I was to give birth to a gorgeous little thing the first time round). As a first time mum there are many things to learn, breastfeeding, changing nappies, bathing a new born, swaddling, burping, what I should/ […]
Ending my story from last week… Driving back to the hospital all I could think of was ‘shit what lies ahead of me?’ But I knew I was ready, I felt in control. After my day in the sunshine and water and eating my yummy food and spending time with my best friend and husband […]
You know what I love about Birthing stories… They are all so very very different. There’s no right or wrong way… It’s all about how you are feeling, connecting and how ready your baby and body are! Whether it’s a short birth, long birth, natural birth or cesarean. All births are amazing. I mean how […]
I remember while trying for a while to fall pregnant with our first I meditated one night and said to myself… ‘I am ready, my body is ready… whatever I have to go through to get pregnant and be pregnant I can take it…’ I was thinking please bring on morning sickness and anything else […]
My fertility journey was my biggest life lesson so far… it taught me self nurture, that working 10-12 hour days is ridiculous, that it’s ok to ask for help, that just because I can run, lift heavy weights and have strong abs I’m fit… I had a lot to learn here… Restorative yoga is a […]
‘CRYING DOESN’T INDICATE THAT YOU’RE WEAK. SINCE BIRTH, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SIGN THAT YOU’RE ALIVE’ Yes it is true Crying is a Strength! Too much in society we are felt as if we are looked upon that crying is a weakness. If our baby is crying for a long time we feel people […]
After a roller-coaster of a week (as most weeks are) a little voice inside my head kept telling me ‘you need some time alone’, ‘time to be in your own thoughts’, ‘your body is telling you something’, ‘don’t be afraid of your thoughts and feelings-listen’. So after about a week I said to hubby “once […]
