Labour doesn’t just “start” out of nowhere!! It is the result of incredible coordination between your baby, your body, and your environment.

As your baby’s lungs mature, they release signals that tell your body it’s time to prepare. Your oxytocin and prostaglandin levels rise and they in turn encourage softening of your cervix and uterine activity; helping your body shift naturally into birth mode.

When you feel safe, calm, and supported, oxytocin thrives, helping labour to begin and progress smoothly.

So, if you’re approaching your ‘due date’ just remember: patience, rest, and trust are powerful.

PCOS has a new name as of May 2026: PMOS — Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

The old name implied the problem was ‘cysts on the ovaries.’ It’s not that simple. That misnaming caused decades of missed diagnoses.

PMOS is a multi-system condition — hormones, metabolism, fertility. 1 in 8 women have it. 70% don’t know.

It’s metabolic, which means what you eat is part of how it’s managed.

If your periods are irregular, or you’ve struggled with weight, acne, hair changes, or fertility ask your GP for support and don’t let them brush you off!

Have you ever woken up on your back and panicked??

Well I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to!

Whilst we do recommend you sleep on your side - with the left being optimal for blood flow; it’s important to remember that if we do this the majority of the time then short stints on your back are ok!

In later pregnancy most women find themselves unable to lie on their back because it’s uncomfortable anyway. But if you want to then lie propped up with some pillows to stop you being totally flat for a long amount of time.

I totally recommend you get a pregnancy pillow or build a pillow fort around yourself to keep you lying on your side.

If you wake up on your side, have a little check in with how you feel. If everything feels good then grab the pillows and nod back off on your side. Don’t beat yourself up for something you can’t control - you are asleep after all.

Protein gets framed as a gym thing.

But for women, especially around fertility, pregnancy prep, and everyday health, it does far more than help build muscle.

It supports four very real jobs:

Hormone production — supports your cycle and helps your body make the signals it relies on.

Blood sugar control — helps reduce the crashes and cravings that can throw everything else off.

Recovery & repair — gives your body the building blocks it needs for daily healing.

Lasting fullness — helps you feel satisfied for longer, so you’re less likely to fall into the snack-and-crash pattern.

Most women don’t need to overthink protein.
They just need to include it more consistently.

Eggs, fish, chicken, beans, yoghurt, lentils, tofu — whatever fits your life.

That’s why TFM Nutrition meals are protein-led from the start.

Real nutrition for modern motherhood.
