No previous yoga experience needed. Our courses support you from 14 weeks pregnant right up to birth. They prepare for you birth and the postnatal period. Helping you to stretch & strengthen your body, relax and meet other local mums to be🩷

I taught Pregnancy Yoga throughout my pregnancy and then attended Jessy’s and Claire’s classes right up until the week before Louie arrived and it made such a difference to my recovery this time around. Keeping my body moving and having that time every week for me and Louie was my favourite and I met so many other lovely local mums that have kept me sane and got me through maternity leave this time around.

Nearly 9 months of being a mum of 2 🩷🩵

It’s been a crazy 9 months but to any other mums out there feeling like they’re in constant survival mode I get it..

• The jump from 1-2 has definitely been a lot harder than 0-1

• Just because you’ve done this before it doesn’t mean you’ll know what you’ll be doing second time around. Harrie & Louie = complete opposites

• It’s very true what they say - your experience of motherhood and maternity leave is very different based on the temperament of your child & most importantly how much sleep you’re getting.. very little right now as we battle illness, teething & regressions

• No one warned me you will miss your first more than ever even though they haven’t gone anywhere. This was & still is the hardest thing for me. The fact I can’t give Harrie all of me anymore & how much this has changed our relationship. It’s about finding the little 1 on 1 moments to fill your cup

• Watching how much Harrie & Louie love each other & how much their faces light up when the other enters the room is the best thing 🥹🥰

• Trying to work around 2 kids with no childcare support has been mental

• My house constantly looks like a laundrette & a bombs gone off in it

• I have never been so overstimulated in my life. It’s got easier as Louie has got older and is less attached to me but omg those early newborn days trying to be there for both of them 😳

• Breastfeeding is still one of the hardest things I’ve done & continue to do as it’s so much easier to whip a b**b out in the middle of the night rather than make a bottle

• My recovery from the C section was a million times better than my forcep delivery with Harrie. Birth is very individual, you have to do what’s right for you.

• Sleep.. or lack of it. 🤣 I’ve aged substantially in this last year but after an awful experience with a sleep consultant who had no clue what she was talking about we follow Louie’s lead & are all a lot happier now. I embrace the sleep cuddles & no longer feel guilty for it!

I’ve missed classes so much! Pregnancy yoga is back in June & can now be booked via the link in my bio 🥰

Rainbow Baby Day 🌈

I posted this image last year with the caption that I didn’t really understand the phrase ‘rainbow baby’ until we’d experienced loss. A year on sitting here with our rainbow baby in my arms it’s got a whole different meaning.

Never thought we’d get here and will never forget everything we’ve been through and the babies we’ve lost to get here.

One of the things that always brings me comfort is knowing that when you have a miscarriage you still carry the cells from your baby in your body. It’s called microchimerism and it means they never really leave you & Louie carries these cells of this siblings within him 🥹.

I still don’t ever take my 3 rings off, with me always and they even stayed firmly on in theatre during our C section for Louie. 🤍🤍🤍

I know this day will be tough for so many. Whatever this day means for you I’m thinking of you 🩷

World Breastfeeding Week 2025 🩷

‘Invest in breastfeeding, invest in the future’

As someone who’s currently navigating this for a second time I feel it’s only right to share my current reality.

I feel so lucky I get to breastfeed for a second time but I have to admit even being trained in Infant Feeding this time around I’m still finding it incredibly hard.

Louie has a small tongue tie but because he’s gaining weight really well and the latch is a lot more comfortable now because we’ve worked together on positioning and attachment I know it’s likely there will be a long wait on the NHS if we get referred so I’m going to go privately to get a full feeding assessment and put my mind at rest.

We did see the infant feeding team in hospital who were amazing and checked the latch but my gut is telling me that 2 weeks on the tongue tie is still having an impact on our feeding journey.

The reality for so many is it doesn’t matter how you choose to feed your baby it’s really hard. And even if this isn’t your first baby, every baby is so different so it’s learning together again.

I still strongly believe the key is education in pregnancy before baby arrives and really pushing for that support once baby is here if you feel like something isn’t quite right. We spend so much time preparing for the birth of our babies but not what happens afterwards and feeding your baby milk (whether that’s breast milk or formula) is something you’re going to be exclusively doing a lot of for the first 6 months of their life. Every parent deserves that support.

If you’re struggling now don’t be afraid to reach out and push for that help that you deserve 🩷

It’s like he’s always been here.. The last 5 days in photos 🥹

I was very open about wanting a planned C section this time around after our birth with Harrie & everything we’d been through with the miscarriages since. And yes we got our C section but like I predicted the whole way along, someone didn’t want to wait & wanted me to experience some contractions again first. 🙃

Everything started on Friday afternoon with ‘my bloody show’ appearing & period pains starting. The nice thing about having a planned section this time was I still had the option to labour naturally if I wanted but as soon as things started to happen it confirmed that it really wasn’t the route I wanted to take again so we went into hospital to get checked. Kerry our amazing Doula met us there (will do a separate post on how incredible Kerry was)

On the way in the period pains started to form a pattern & I knew these were contractions. They were initially cautious about acting too fast because of the gestation but my own consultant was shortly coming on shift so agreed to wait & make a plan with her.

We saw her around 9/9.30pm and she agreed that if this was what we wanted then let’s do it. By 10pm we were heading to theatre. In there they confirmed I was 3cm dilated so I was so glad we made the decision we did & actually part of me wanted my body to start labour naturally because then it made me feel like it was his decision.

The C section went really well. The staff were incredible & we both felt so supported. I watched his birth with a mirror over the screen & apart from needing help with his breathing when he first came out (I did go into major panic at this point) everything was just as we wanted & everyone else around me were so calm. We had our first feed in recovery & he hasn’t been off the b**b since.

We had to stay in for 4 nights because they were worried about his jaundice but I was in no rush to get home. Being away from Harrie was SO hard but I felt so looked after in hospital this time I wanted to make sure we were both doing okay before leaving.

And now we’re home together as a 4 🥰

Finally getting around to posting some of the lovely moments from my last day of teaching last week 🥹🩷

So incredibly grateful for all the amazing mums & babies who made this day so special, the gifts, the cards & the kind words I was an emotional mess! I honestly didn’t expect any of it..

I think I’ve powered through this pregnancy until 31 weeks just carrying on as normal (still a bit in denial) but I can now admit at nearly 33 weeks, in a heat wave I am feeling very pregnant, very sweaty and stretched. I’m trying my best not to wish time away but I’m sure anyone else who’s gone through loss will relate you are just counting down the days until they’re here.

He’s still apparently absolutely massive so we’ll see what the consultant says next week but I also know from doing this job you take the scans with a pinch of salt - especially the ones in later pregnancy.

A week in Cornwall next week, then 2 weeks of photoshoots and then I’m done. Photoshoots will be back towards the end of the year but classes wise I don’t have any plans to be back teaching this year but will then see how I feel as I head into 2026.

And although I won’t be teaching for this year! I will of course be around for coffee and cake for any of the other mums on maternity leave 🥰

Pregnancy Yoga West Bridgford 🤰🏻🧘🏻‍♀️🩷

Last remaining spaces for the June - July Term..

Monday 23rd June 6.15pm - FULL
Monday 23rd June 7.45pm - 3 Spaces Left

No previous yoga experience needed. Our courses support you from 14 weeks pregnant right up to birth. They prepare for you birth and the postnatal period. Helping you to stretch & strengthen your body, relax and meet other local mums to be.

I did 0 yoga first time around with Harrie and my back was in bits from 20 weeks pregnant. This time around teaching on a Monday evening and attending yoga on a Wednesday evening with Claire in Sherwood has made such a difference (I promise I’m not just saying this to make people book 🤣) but even if you don’t attend our award winning Mamababybliss classes I do really recommend pregnancy yoga for all stages of pregnancy. A lot of exercises we do in classes are also suitable for supporting you and your body in the postnatal period 🩷

On the 12th of June I will be holding a one off Breastfeeding & Bottle Feeding workshop on Zoom 7-9pm for any parents to be. Maybe you’re a first time parent and want to feel more prepared with all things feeding - or maybe this isn’t your first child and feeding didn’t go the way you hoped previously. Just click the link in my bio or send me a message to book. 🩷

Those have you that have followed me for a while will know that I used to hold these quite regularly and supporting families in pregnancy and postnatally with feeding is something I am still so passionate about.

I trained as an Infant Feeding Coach after how hard and how unprepared I felt feeding my own daughter. I strongly believe that the key to getting feeding off to a good start (whether breast or bottle) is down to education in Pregnancy. Nothing can prepare you for life with a newborn but I can prepare you with what to expect when it comes to feeding a newborn.

Feeding your baby is something you will spend A LOT of time doing in those first few months & so I want to make you feel prepared & confident before your little one arrives so you can feed them in the right way for you.

In this one off workshop on Zoom you will learn how breastfeeding works as well as how to bottle feed your baby. This isn’t a workshop where I shout breast is best. It’s a workshop where I want to educate you on all things feeding before baby arrives because that’s what every parent to be deserves.

Any questions just send me a message 🩷
