Missing the beautiful Ibiza sunsets already ... I’ve realised how much better fresh air and sunshine makes me feel whilst I’m this big..... Also cutting down the meat in my diet has helped massively for some reason, just need to up my iron intake !!!! 7 and a bit weeks to go now. Starting to feel a tad nervous but @thepositivebirthcompany pack has been helping me massively. Any preggo’S out there, I would percent recommend it. It’s a non preachy fantastic support hypnobirthing course, which combines knowledge of the science behind the birth and how powerful our minds can be in helping stay as calm as possible. Also today is the first day I’m insured on our car since passing my driving test !!!!! Wish me luck on my first solo drive !!! Next job is to get our pram ready , we are thinking of going for the @cosatto “wow” , any peeps out there used it ? #hypnobirthing #love #light #yogi #sunset #ibiza #travel #32weekspregnant #bump #maternity #positivebirth @kenkenjohnston #ocean #cosattowow #cosatto #baby

Better late than never! I FINALLY got around to writing down Zander’s birth story & sharing it over on the BLOG today. It took only a short 6 months to get to it but nonetheless it was one of the most magical days and a really positive birth experience we had at home.

Researchers believe that giving birth in an upright position can benefit the mother and baby for several physiologic reasons. Physiologic refers to a healthy body’s normal function. In an upright position, gravity can help bring the baby down and out. . Upright positioning also helps the uterus contract more strongly and efficiently and helps the baby get in a better position to pass through the pelvis. @ebbirth .

“MY BABY IS THE PERFECT SIZE FOR MY BODY” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that the NICE guidelines, which are evidence based and govern NHS practice, state:⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “In the absence of any other indications, induction of labour should not be carried out simply because a healthcare professional suspects a baby is large for gestational age (macrosomic).”⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If there is an underlying health concern eg gestational diabetes then that’s a different matter but if there aren’t any medical concerns, you shouldn’t be offered induction because your baby measures big.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your body is more than capable of birthing your big healthy baby In fact some midwives say BIG IS BETTER Plus your baby might not even be as big as expected since the scans are not 100% accurate at all ‍♀️⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In any case when it comes to birth your body will be full of relaxin, which softens all your ligaments and muscles allowing your pelvis to widen making space for your baby. Your baby’s head isn’t one solid skull but made of four plates which will move to enable your baby to fit perfectly within the birth canal.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Your body and your baby are amazing Say it, think it, believe it: your baby is the perfect size for your body ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TREAT YOURSELF A LITTLE PACK OF POSITIVITY IN OUR SHOP (link in bio ). Each pack contains 28 positive affirmation cards for pregnancy.

BIRTH STORY Firstly I’d just like to say thank you for everyone’s lovely messages! They mean so so much! Early hours of Saturday 1st I woke up for the loo but realised my waters had broken. I was so happy that I’d done it all myself and didn’t need an induction, as I was booked in to have my waters broke on the Sunday. I woke up Brad to tell him I was in labour. After a couple of hours of waiting for my contractions to start, I rang the hospital who told us to come in to confirm my waters had gone. We went in and they confirmed that they had broken and gave us an appointment for 8am Sunday 2nd for just in case my contractions didn’t start. I spent the whole of the Saturday completely relaxed! My mum came round, my sister @lenny_leo88 came round and plaited my hair, and did some reflexology and reiki. I had a few spontaneous mild contractions but nothing was starting on its own. I woke up on the Sunday morning a bit disheartened that nothing had started. I’d been using @thepositivebirthcompany digital pack and I really wanted to avoid going on the drip to start my contractions. We went to the hospital for 8am and my sister @hayleyandlife met us there, as she was my birth partner with Brad. At around 2pm we was taken up to the labour ward and I was so so happy to learn that my sisters best friend @corinnelaverick was my midwife and automatically felt at ease. She checked how far along I was and tried to break any remaining waters. This alone put me in full blown labour and I panicked and asked for an epidural, as the contractions were so powerful straight away. In the end there was no time for anything but gas and air and a little diamorphine. I was in established labour for an hour and half before I was ready to push. Alice Olivia Tanner was born at 17:05pm. There was meconium present but thankfully our little Alice hadn’t taken any in and she was perfectly fine. We are so in love with our little girl and so happy that our big girl Daisy loves her just as much as we do. we are so so happy and in this beautiful little bubble adjusting to life as a family of four. ‍‍‍ #birthstory #mummyblogger #mummybloggersuk #xmumshine #pregnancyblog #mybirthmystory

LET’S EMPOWER EACH OTHER ✨ Beautiful picture, words and repost by @hillaryha ・・・ I never thought I would I post something like this. I’m a pretty private person when it comes to special family moments and sacred times, and posting this doesn’t change that. But I’ve realized through sharing tidbits of our life that sometimes it helps someone, and I’m down for that. Four months ago today, Rockwell was born in our living room with all of his brothers and sisters waiting with open arms. Literally. Zoom into this photo- this was taken the moment we discovered he was a boy. We were 100% expecting a girl, so this is sheer surprise and elation the moment it was announced. If you look closely, every single one of us is celebrating. I’ll never forget that moment that Rockwell was bonded to our family forever, it was pure magic. I can’t say this enough.... let us normalize birth. Make it a positive thing. It’s fun. It’s beautiful. It’s one of the very few once in a lifetime events you can truly only do one time. No matter how a baby comes into this world, we need to show mothers, fathers, and children that birth is not a scary, awful, terrifying experience as so many are sadly taught. I give my highest respect to every woman that births, no matter how and what the journey looks like. Let’s empower each other to view birthing as a privilege always, and an amazing event we are so blessed to experience. Happy 4 months Rockwell! : @oilyfeelgood I love you. Thank you for capturing this moment.✨ . . . . .

Congratulations @staceysolomon I absolutely love this picture and words. Real, honest and a reminder that birth really is the most amazing thing you’ll ever do or witness Wishing you all a beautiful and happy weekend xx . . #Repost @staceysolomon ・・・ This morning. A lot earlier than planned I watched the love of my life, bring a new life into the world. We are overwhelmed, overjoyed and apprehensive of what’s to come. Mummy and baby are well and resting. We are so grateful for all of the love, support and positivity we’ve received over the last 8 months. I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling. So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans. I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe. Joe X . . .
