Tegan Birth Coach

Anyone else LOVE the time between Christmas and New Years where you're living off leftovers and have no idea what day it is? ✋️ saaaaaame!!!!!

I usually use this time of year to map out my goals, reflect on past goals, figure out if im living to my values and how to adapt if I've gone off course. I do this many times a year, though there's ere's something special about doing it in the weird period where time doesn't exist 😂

I am deep in planning for how to bring regular hypnobirbting classes to north side Canberra. The next dates with availability still are:

🗓 11-12 Jan
🗓 8-9 Feb

Im truly excited for the impact I know the positive Birth Program brings to birthing people and how that can change their whole experience for the better.

If you have any questions, birth or beyond, drop in, women deserve education on birth and our bodies no matter our financial circumstances 🩷

BECKHAMS BIRTH] Because it was still its own kind of BEAUTIFUL even when it was hidden within the most unexpected of events and places.

Worldwide, one in 10 babies are born early – 27,000+ each year in Australia alone - crazy right!? Our unexpected 2 months early welcoming of our second son Becks where we rode the prem-family rollercoaster, with all of its ups and downs, a bumpy-beautiful-chaotic ride - though one that I continue to be empowered from and grateful for, almost 5 years to the day.

This matrescence journey of mine gave me a perspective that perhaps cannot be fully made sense unless lived through. It taught me to appreciate the littlest of things, the tiniest of milestones down to the milligram, the wins, the losses, as I watched in awe and adoration as our baby survived, fought, grew, succeeded and thrived despite it the odds. And gratitude for a handful of serious earth angels who took risks to save our boys life and cared for our miracle, our gratitude will always go beyond what words can say.

I am a PROUD prem-mama having healed and grown from my past pregnancies and birth trauma experiences. I am Beckham Jude’s Mama, what an amazing gift, an honour, a privilege to be chosen to mother this fierce little boy, as well as his big brother and more recently his baby sister in heaven.

To all you prem parents out there who are struggling or have struggled, adapted and overcome, my family’s hearts are with yours - united. I make full sense of the worry, the angst, the pain, the light, the happiness. These little warriors enter the world fighting. They are so unbelievably strong resilient souls, and make US stronger for knowing them!!

We all have a story, my pregnancies and births for all 3 of my children weren’t always a fairytale, though I DO firmly believe in silver livings and I infinitely know each one SERVED me as a mother, a woman, as a family unit and also as the leader I am today.

I encourage the sheer necessity for community & support pre, during and post - irrespective of an individuals experience.

JAZZY'S BIRTH ⭐️

All my life I’ve wanted to be a mum just not the part of actually having the baby. Every time I thought about it I would always think the worst. 29, never had stitches, never broken a bone & was staring down the barrel of giving birth to another human being!!!! And a girl!! I’d always dreamt of having a daughter & always knew her name would be Jaz. Always! That was my dream.

So due to my stress about child birth I chose to be ignorant and not go to any birthing classes.
Which meant that when I did go into labour I actually had no idea what signs to look for when it was time to go to hospital.

We called the hospital twice & they kept saying stay at home until the pain was unbearable so we went to the hospital (even though staff told me I’d probably be sent home as they didn’t think I’d be ready 🙄).

They checked my cervix when I got there & advised I was 8cm dilated & ready to go into a birthing suite. As I was so far dilated they weren’t able to give me any pain medication as they said they baby would be here before it would come into affect, so I had to soldier on & push forward with a natural drug free labour & our little jazzy girl was born within two hours of arriving at the hospital.

I had meconium stuck all over my chest so asked the nurses if I could shower & they said no. The baby can only lay on my chest for the first 24 hours. We explained that Jack was there who is jaz’s dad & they still said no. Which we couldn’t understand.

When the nurses left us we put Jaz on Jacks chest & I jumped in the shower. Fell to my knees & cried for 10 mins thinking this is my f**king life now, I’m a parent. All the feels of leaving my nomad life behind to be a responsible adult hit me like a tonne of bricks, that and Jack wasn’t a present / faithful partner to me. So also has the fear of being a single mum which I never wanted for myself or my child.

Due to my quick natural birth I was up & walking around the ward with my dad within a few hours of becoming a mum.

It was a rough road from there but we made it, Jaz is almost 12. She’s my best friend & the sweetest loving girl, who I’m grateful for everyday for choosing me to be her mum.

✨️ SATURDAY STORIES ✨️

This one is from the beautiful Aleesha from .

"I lost three beautiful babies. Unfortunately no one talked about the realness of it in my world. So I didn’t. I was scared, afraid and faced it all alongside my husband. It became an obsession of mine to just buy pregnancy tests. The heartbreak it caused was heavy. After 7 years of infertility we eventually fell pregnant naturally with our beautiful son. The journey of parenthood has blessed us. It’s important to seek help, to talk and to be you behind all the pain because there are safe people in our world to talk to, that can make a difference."

I will shortly have a miscarriage hypnosis freebie for all of you beautiful Mama's who have experienced loss like this so keep your eyes peeled 👀🌸

I had a conversation today about a 7 year old who thought her body was 'fat'. SEVEN 😭😭😭 it broke me. How do we only get to 7before were ashamed of who we are and already trying to manipulate our bodies.

It was at a photoshoot with Studio Republic On Tour and how fitting their whole mission is about confidence building, giving the women the evidence they need to empower themselves and feel good in their own skin.

I am SO excited to get these photos back, even 30 kgs heavier than a couple years ago, and SHOW my girls that you can be CONFIDENT and LOVE yourself wherever the fk you are at and that extra kilos doesnt have to hold you back from experiences. I can't wait to show my kids that you can be working to better yourself AND STILL accept yourself completely. ✨️🫂

Let's talk ✨️miscarriage✨️

1 in 4!

It's 1 in 4 women who experience the grief that is miscarriage 💔

This image is of me post D&C after a missed miscarriage at my 12 week scan. My baby had passed 2 weeks prior though my body hadn't passed them in that time. I was unaware what I was walking into at the appointment. I'd had no blood loss and no cramping. I'd had migraines and the nausea and sickness which I put down to pregnancy.

When you become pregnant, planned or not, your vision of the future changes in an instant. I knew at the time that people have miscarriages, though I had no idea how common they were and didn't think it would happen to me, especially with no symptoms and not as late as it did for no known reason. The confusion of why me? What happened?

I remember so clearly the desperation I felt to get pregnant after that at any cost. It was an obsession rooted in fear and heartbreak. The fear that might have been it for me. Not knowing if I'd get the chance again to be a Mum. Desperate to have a baby back inside me and almost avoid the discomfort of greif. The shame I felt in my body that I couldn't keep them safe. I made it mean things about me and my wonderful body that just aren't true.

My heart is with any family who has or experiencing their own version of loss. 🩷👼🩷

You are not alone in your grief and heartbreak 🫂 there is a whole stream of women when you start to talk about it and share your experience.
