Now that's what I call BATCH COOKING. This mom is now 38 weeks and she can't fit one more dinner/soup/burrito into her freezer. Now all she has to do is wait for baby ❤️

Join Aoife and Jen tomorrow at 12pm where they will be discussing your maternity care options. From private obstetric care to home births, Jen will lay out your options and the difference between them. As with all our lives, this will be a short 15 mins and the replay will be available straight after. Please share will anyone who might be planning on having a baby in the near future as the more information we have, the better we can make informed decisions. #antenataleducation #antenatalclass #instagramlive #maternity #maternitycareoptions #pregnantinireland #planningababy

"No one told me how terrifying it would be to love as only a mother does. No one told me about how much it would ache.
No one told me about the joy that was deeper and wider that anything I’d known- how somehow it hurt to feel that happy.

No one told me about the heavy weight of that love that would sit on my heart and make it impossible to breathe at times. How I would hold my infant to my chest and want to inhale him-  not just that newborn smell, but some primal, unbearable desire to tuck him back safely below my heart — a desperate wish to keep him safe there forever.

No one told how I would hover over my baby at night, my eyes burning with exhaustion but unable to stop watching as his tiny chest rose and fell with each breath. How the adoration I felt for him would rise up from my chest and pour out of my eyes, buckets of tears I couldn’t explain.

No one told me how the love would swallow me whole. How somehow my life would suddenly feel infinitely more fragile and fleeting. How my own mortality would loom over me like a shadow I’d never seen before and make me want to stop time.

No one told me how giving birth would make me fear death in a way I’d never experienced- how I’d feel that my life was so tightly tied around this love that losing him would be worse than dying a thousand times. How the strings that tethered me to this child would become my life line and how watching him grow and go out into the world would be the most terrifying beautiful thing.

No one told me how becoming a mama would open a door in my heart to a love I didn’t know existed. And how the magnitude of that feeling would leave me scrambling to find my footing in a world that felt suddenly foreign and immensely  real.

No one told me because there aren’t really words, are there?"
