9 months can go sooo slow but also sooo fast! It can feel overwhelming with all the things to learn and prepare for, to get ready for labour and the postpartum period. My recent #GettingReadyForLabourChallenge group highlighted how little resources there are out there in ONE place, if at all, given Covid has shut down so much antenatal support! ⁠
.⁠
I wanted to remind you about my FREE Hospital Bag Checklist that gives you:⁠
⁠
✅ Expert nutrition tips to sustain you through labour⁠
✅ A list of the 12 Items you may never have thought to pack for labour and beyond⁠
✅ Tips to help establish your milk supply⁠
✅ Foolproof steps to ensure your breastfeeding wishes are respected⁠

Check it out in my bio! 🏃‍♀️

“Incomparable bond of mother and child portrayed

“Incomparable bond of mother and child portrayed by @akku_613 Pregnancy represents the mother’s body with unique challenges.
.
Bonding between a mother and her baby begins during pregnancy, and Postpartum depression can have a huge impact on the bonding process between mother and child.
6–20% of women worldwide experience postpartum depression (PPD) or depressive symptoms.
.
PPD is a major depressive episode that begins during pregnancy or within 4 weeks of childbirth, although it is often studied clinically up to one year postpartum.
.
One of the most studied risk factors of PPD is a lack of social support. Experts say that the biggest problem is not the mother, but in the social stigma for mental health disorders. Social support during pregnancy includes instrumental, emotional, or informational assistance.
.
We emphasise the need for increased awareness of PPD and empowerment to seek support for women at risk of PPD. We suggest psychologists, nurses, and doctors educate pregnant women about PPD and its association with depression and social support.
.
Most symptoms of depression are easily treatable, when mothers don’t fear they will be labeled as a ‘bad mom’ for seeking out help.
.
The second issue is the accessibility and affordability for mental health care to disadvantaged families. Psychologists and Socialists alike urge us that the depression epidemic is a pressing matter and we need a solution soon to prevent mass negative outcomes.” Repost @gdmc_plectro
.
As a pregnant mum or newbie mum, if you’d like to be supported with a tribe of mums going through the same journey as you...Be educated and informed on various topics like breastfeeding, pelvic floor repair, baby sleep, nutrition depletion etc BEFORE postpartum hits then sign up to my 6 month Postnatal Roadmap membership BEFORE doors close Sunday 12th July at midnight.

Two more winners from our Getting Ready for Labour

Two more winners from our Getting Ready for Labour Challenge have won 12 weeks of online exercise training from @strong_byalex , as part of their sign up to the Postnatal Roadmap membership!! 🎉🎉 Congrats and thank you for taking part in the challenge @tanturm_diva and Jemima Rogers! 🙌❤️⁠ I look forward to supporting you inside the membership!⁠
.⁠
⁠What a huge prize pool during this challenge - $1560!!! Stay tuned for the next #gettingreadyforlabourchallenge in August and if you'd like to join the Postnatal Roadmap membership to get support on breastfeeding, pelvic floor, nutrition, baby sleep etc, then sign up before doors close midnight Sunday 12th July. Link in bio!⁠
.⁠
In the meantime, check out muscle groups you really should work out during pregnancy by @strong_byallex 👇👇⁠
.⁠
⁠
THESE ARE THE 3 MOST IMPORTANT AREAS TO TARGET WHEN EXERCISING DURING PREGNANCY. ⁠
.⁠
Why? In simple, all 3 of these muscle areas play a crucial role in supporting the pelvic floor. Think of it like a trampoline with the pelvic floor in the middle. If any of these muscles are weak and not doing their job, the pelvic floor can not do its job properly either which can lead to a range of problems including incontinence and pubic symphysis pain etc.⁠
💡⁠
Strong CORE, LEGS and GLUTES means your body is better able to deal with the extra weight and change in posture that comes with a growing belly.⁠ This leads to less strain on your spine which can help improve and prevent pregnancy back pain. ⁠
.⁠
If you want to keep these muscles strong but not sure where to start, join now for an exercise program modified for each week of your pregnancy.⁠

I get it! Life is really unstable and unsettling at the moment with the ramifications of covid-19 on antenatal care and job stability/losses.⁠
.⁠
But you know how people say prevention is better than cure? I honestly know and believe that the same applies for motherhood and the postpartum period.⁠
.⁠
If we don't arm ourselves with knowledge before we are in the middle of the emotional hurricane, we will often be stuck in more pain, anxiety and overwhelm, which in the end will result in us needing to seek help from health professionals over multiple sessions.⁠
.⁠
A women's health physio - $70-180 per session⁠
Lactation consultant $170-$250 per session⁠
Sleep consultant $500-$1000 packages⁠
Dietitian $120-180 per session⁠
and the list goes on......⁠
.⁠
As I mentioned in the membership screen share, you are already saving hundreds of dollars as soon as you sign up because the membership is CHEAPER than The Thompson Method Breastfeeding Course BUT you'll get so much more with pelvic floor courses, 7 day menu plans and shopping lists for 6 months (!) and all the other information and resources that will help guide you through some tough postnatal milestones...⁠
.⁠
So yes...I get the hesitancy...especially for first time mum's who's biggest fear is often the pain of child birth. But I guarantee if you asked any second time mum...they'll tell you...I wish I knew...I wish I had better support...I wish I did this differently. I don't want new mum's to have those same regrets that myself and many second time mum's have.⁠
.⁠
So ladies...save yourself lots of time and money now (as your prevention), rather than running around looking for a cure while your vagina is recovering, your baby is crying and you're trying to figure out this whole breastfeeding thing.⁠
.⁠
Time is ticking before midnight tonight....sign up before it's too late! Link in bio⁠
