The 3rd of June!

Not everyone’s favourite time of the year with it being the start of state exams but to put things into perspective it’s actually a very special day for us.

This day 17yrs ago we walked Robyn down the steps at Crumlin children’s hospital to theatre for her 3rd major heart surgery.

One of the hardest & happiest days of our lives. A mix of saying goodbye possibly forever at the beginning of that day to rejoicing that evening knowing that all was going to be ok.

This was a very tricky surgery called The Fontan.Our hearts were breaking & thankfully she was off her head on happy drugs! Here I am kissing her over & over again repeating ‘please’ as in please let her make it.

A funny story we like to tell is that when Robyn woke up after the 9hr surgery in ICU, the first thing she asked for was, broccoli & she still loves it! See last video of her 6 days after surgery🥰

Robyns surgeon & cardiologist are true life savers. They are the miracle workers. Many say the miracle comes from some place else but it doesn’t really. It comes because these people have dedicated their life to saving lives. Unless you’ve spent time in an ICU unit for children, it’s very hard to really know how hard they work, do their best to figure out what each child needs, round the clock attention. I’ve one memory of her surgeon coming into ICU dressed in his Sunday best just to check in on her. It doesn’t always have a happy ending but boy do they try. Then there’s the amazing nurses that pick up the pieces, listen to you wail, hold your hand, mind your child like their own, stay way past their shifts end to keep caring, give you cards & gifts as you leave. They must see so much heartache & happiness yet always greet you with a smile.

I also mark this day 17yrs ago because it was the very day our 5mth old son all of a sudden stopped his non-stop screaming with colic & reflux. This was HUGE. Getting through 5 months of colic & waiting for that call to Crumlin really sucked. It just about broke us!

June 3rd 2009 you will forever be etched in our memory for a successful surgery & for banishing colic!

Wishing all the JC & LC students all the luck we had that day ☘️

A question I get asked every time I announce the date for a birth prep workshop is:
When is the best time to do one?

Honestly, it’s never too early or late. Some of us like to be prepared way in advance & some of us are last minute.com, some in between!

What I know is that, you & your birth support person will never regret taking one regardless.

Growing a baby takes time & energy. Preparing for birth is no different.One workshop isn’t a magic wand but it certainly helps. You have to practice what you learn. Muscle memory, brain training, breathing practices, body connection. It all takes time, just like pregnancy & birth do.

So many people that have attended, tell me the biggest shift was their mindset. They enjoyed their pregnancy more. They started to actually look forward to birth with less fear. Why? Because they learned tools they could truly apply, during pregnancy, during birth & beyond. Partners included.

A birthing woman needs support from people that trust birth, water, movement, music, comfort measures, helpful props, techniques & more.

Birth partners need to know your preferences plus these need to be discussed with caregivers early, ideally not the week before baby arrives.

Remember, it’s never too late to start. Also, join a pregnancy yoga class too.
Practice what you learn.

Applied information is power!
 And, if the unexpected arises, those who’ve prepared their body & mind often feel more grounded, connected & confident. I hear this ALL the time.

I highly recommend doing an independent birth prep workshop alongside what your hospital offers. You don’t have to do an active birth workshop but investing in a good one is never a waste of time or money. It’s usually invaluable.

My workshop is designed to help you feel more confident & ready
regardless what your birth preferences are. I’m here to support you & help your baby’s birth be a more positive experience which can look different for everyone.
