In lots of ways and for lots of reasons, 2021 was a quiet one for Other Mothers (remember when we started the year with lockdown 3😳) AND theres also been lots going on behind the scenes - I went back to part time work (in additon to running my biz) first for necessity then for a job I actually wanted - I completed a counselling course - I prioritised myself more, especially my mental health and rest - I started working with an amazing local venue I've wanted to work with for ages - I taught hypnobirthing antenatal courses face to face again - In my education work I started my #forestschool training - In my birthwork I started my 3 step rewind training with Traumatic Birth Recovery that I was so grateful to receive a scholarship for - I've developed, tried and tested a new support service coming v soon 👀 - I've continued to support parents in my free facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/theotherhood/ - 3 Other Mothers brith prep families welcomed new babies in last 2 months of the year - Many more expectant families attended Other Mothers free workshops and taster sessions I look forward to supporting and working with many more of you this year. I wish you what you need for this year and keep doing it your way! Leilah x0

AKA I DON’T NEED TO DO ANY BIRTH PREP Babe that confidence is everything but what are you actually saying? You’re not bothered about your bodily autonomy? You’re not bothered about your choices and rights? Here’s the thing, we don’t know what we don’t know Do you know you don’t have to accept every intervention suggested? Do you know lying on your back like we see on tv and all the films isn’t the most helpful way to get your baby out? Do you know there are a load of other comfort measures that can help with pain in addition to the drugs? Do you know what and who you put in your birth environment can effect your hormones and the process of your labour? How about looking after yourself and your baby once they’re here? Hypnobirthing isn’t some hippie BS it’s actual physiology, science and a complete antenatal course. Need to know more?

TRUST It’s taken my daughter a long time to learn how to ride her bike Yes she had to learn how to keep pedalling, how to balance, how to steer More than that she needed to TRUST herself to BELIEVE she could do it, that’s what took the time When it comes to birth there is no physical process to learn, our bodies and our babies know how. We do need to learn to TRUST. We don’t doubt our bodies ability to do anything else so let’s stop doubting our ability to birth. Need some support? There are spaces left on the September Hypnobirthing Antenatal course and if you want to know what the fuss is about come along to the Thursdays FREE taster session.

When you’re feel calm and relaxed, you’re muscles - have good blood flow - are well oxygenated - can work effectively And when you’re tense, stressed, scared the opposite is true - muscles not working effectively This is exactly the same for your uterus muscles in labour! If you find it hard to switch off and do nothing it’s not your fault! We’re told to keep busy, keep going even when you’re growing a whole new human. Take some time out just for you, check out my new pregnancy relaxation classes at The Yoga Station starting Friday 11th June click here to book https://buytickets.at/othermothers/530960
Look I’m not saying it’s ever easy especially in the current sh*tshow lots of us are living. But what if this is why it’s even HARDER?? And it’s not even our fault! We’ve been conditioned to wave off our intuition and hand over our parenting decisions to everyone so called experts to Susan on facebook (soz to any Susan’s) What if we could start trusting ourselves again? dm me for more info Leilah xo
