Less than one week to go until the new block of classes and these are the themes we're excited to explore in Baby Discovery.

World Bee Day feels like the perfect excuse to share one of my favourite photos of tiny Paisley 🐝

Long before The Mama Spring had a name, before the classes, the birth work, the journal, the events, the community… there was her.

The baby who made me a mum, the baby who changed everything.

I didn’t know it then, but becoming her mum was the beginning of so much more than motherhood. It was the beginning of me slowly finding my way back to myself, questioning what I wanted life to look like and eventually building something that now holds other mums through their own beginnings too.

So today, here’s my little bee.

A tiny reminder that the smallest people can change the entire direction of your life.

I hear this most weeks in class... “They just won’t sleep.”

It’s so common, yet somehow so many of us feel like we’re the only one going through it.

If your baby will only nap on you, wake the second you put them down, or seem to need constant closeness, you are not alone.

I’ve written a whole Journal entry about contact naps, co-regulation, and why you are not doing anything wrong 🩷

Birth isn’t about getting a gold star for staying calm, it’s about understanding what’s happening, knowing your options and feeling confident in yourself no matter how birth unfolds.

That’s the kind of preparation I care about 🩷

As a girl mum, I love pretty baby girl names... what's your favourite? Did you get to use it?

You don’t need to feel pregnancy perfectly 🩷

I’ve written a Journal about why “just stay positive” often misses the point.

🩷 1 week to go...

Just one week until I'll be at Womb With A View Grimsby for my 'Let's Talk About Birth' session - a chance for you and your birth partner to come along and find out just how you deserve to feel during birth.
No pressure, just a relaxed chat about how amazing your body is and how the right support can make the world of difference in labour.

Babies are wired for closeness. Your heartbeat, warmth, movement and breathing feel safe and familiar to them.

That doesn’t mean you have to love every second of it though. You are allowed to adore the cuddles and still crave five minutes to yourself.

I’ve written a new Journal entry all about contact naps, co-regulation, and the reality of this stage of motherhood 🩷
