🌟 HELP 🌟
.

Back in the day... We had access to the village to help raise smalls but nowadays, it's so common that we are sent home and just expected to know what to do... It's isolating, scary and an absolute head fuck (excuse my French).
.

In reality, it really does take a village and we need access to that village. I'd argue that village is still very much there but we just need to have more courage in order to access it. .

So what kind of help are we talking about? Well to name a few... Feeding mumma, cleaning, listening, holding a baby while mumma sleeps or washes herself, walking the dog.... To name but a few. I bet you there are people within an arm's reach that are so willing to do that for you.
.

This is one of the reasons I had a calling to become a doula because I want more mothers to have access to help while they make a major transition in their life.
.

What was your transition like?
How do you feel about your upcoming transition?
What was the best help you received?
It's Monday tomorrow and dad might be back at work, will you be seeking help to get thought the week? From who?

Hello, its thought I would remind you/ introduce you to the main face behind MummaPod.

I am Mary-Anne, a.k.a MAC . I live in Teddington in a fully renovated home (which I project managed myself and am ever so proud of). I have two smalls, Max, 3 and Molly, 10 months tomorrow. I had two incredible births, both pretty different, but both so empowering and inspiring. Max was born in the birth centre at UCHL and Molly was born at home via the Kingston Homebirth team. I also have a wonderful husband and father to my kids, James, who does all the cooking at our house (which is amazing). On that note, my absolute favourite food is breaded chicken… be it a kiev (aka chicken kevin) or just a nugget… all shapes and forms… nom nom nom. As well as food, I am usually pretty keen on exercise, particularly body pump, spinning, bootcamp, barre, HIIT Skiing and swimming… I try and workout about 3/4 times a week – as it REALLY helps my mental health. .

Why MummaPod? Well, I am absolutely passionate about pregnancy, birth and the post natal period. I want all women to feel empowered by birth but feel that it is crucial to prepare for birth (the best days come with a lot of work… e.g. Your wedding day). I also know, personally, that the transition into motherhood is pretty major and it's so important to have access to the important things (IT REALLY DOES TAKE A VILLAGE). So I have taken partners onto MummaPod and am hoping that we grow to be the local non stop shop in Kingston & Teddington for all things pregnancy, birth and post natal. To make sure mums and babies are loved and nurtured, as they should be.

What do we have to offer? , I personally offer birth doula support, post natal doula support, small group, private and refresher hypnobrithing classes & post natal massage. MummaPod also have partners that offer post natal personal fitness, womens health physio, pregnancy/ birth/ post natal yoga, fertility/ pregnancy/ post natal nuritionaist, newborn/ pregnancy photography, executive and motherhood coaching & a sleep consultant (and there is more on the way too)… As we love expanding, so do get in touch if you’d like to join.

So over to you, do you have any questions?

🌟 TUESDAY MOTIVATION 🌟
.

Good morning to you my lovelies.... just a little something to out a spring in your step! Pregnant, or not pregnant... 🍑
.

Have a wonderful day x

🌟 STRONG WOMAN 🌟
.

Today I found myself talking to a dear friend about finding her inner strength. She was feeling weak and, having seen her birth, I just know this is not the case. She is one of the strongest people I know. So much so, I took my own @mutha.hood tee off my back and gave it to her and told her to wear the Strong Girls Club tee with pride (I will definitely be replacing that one!).
.

But as I have reflected on the day and put my daughter to sleep for the night, I have thought about what lessons I want to teach her and how she will lead by my example. So to you, sweet Molly, can I try and lead by good example and be your strong role model, so in turn, you will be a strong woman too. We all know we need more of them about.
.

Are you feeling strong today mumma? Because you should be.

🌟 HYPNOBIRTHING AFFIRMATION CARDS 🌟
.

You spoke, I listened. More specifically, I recently asked you, my wonderful audience, about your favourite birth affirmations that helped you in your empowering and positive births. Then, I magically collected them all 🧙 (plus a few of my own personal favourites) and then we've created these positive birthing affirmation cards (which come in a convenient little box...). Turn one over every morning to start your day on a high! .

How much you say... £10 a box. 💸
.

They're bright and colourful and they're specially for creating a positive birth experience. 🤰
.

A great gift for yourself or your pregnant mate.... (Visit our shop on links) 🎁

🧡🌟 LET KIDS BE KIDS🌟🧡 Let kids be kids; just let them be
Princesses, pirates; let the bath be the sea!

Let them stare at the sky and find animals in the clouds.
Let them dance in the rain and sing out loud.

Let them dream really big and wish upon a star.
Let them feel the wind in their hair from the window of a car.

Smell their dandelion bouquet like it's your favorite flower,
For they will grow up in what seems like just an hour.

Tell them bedtime stories each and every night.
Let them sleep in the middle when they awake with fright.

Shield them from evil and keep them from danger,
But teach them of acts of kindness for complete strangers.

Don't hurry them, overschedule them, and make them feel lost,
For if this happens it will be you who will pay the cost!

Let them build castles, do cartwheels, and find shells in the sand.
If they need a little help, then please give them a hand!

Let them walk barefoot and the grass tickle their feet,
For it's the small things in life that will make them feel complete!

Let them make couch cushion forts and sleep in a tent,
For this is the way childhood was meant to be spent!

Let them bring you breakfast in bed, let them burn your toast.
Someday it will be times like this you will miss the most.

Teach them how to serve others and be a good friend.
If you teach all these things, their love will have no end.

Teach them in life, not everyone will win.
And when they lose they need to accept with a grin.

It's not about the money you have and the things you have bought.
Life is all about lessons that parents have taught!

So let kids be kids, just let them be.
And our world will be a better place for you and for me! 📖 Jennifer Caldwell .

🌟HYPNOBIRTHING REALLY WORKS 🌟

FINALLY ... It's Friday. Sharing a brief Hypnobirthing review that puts a Friday spring in my step. .

One of the many reasons why I love teaching, is that the course empowers mums AND dads. I know birth is predominantly about mumma, but it's amazing to get to a place where father's feel empowered too!
.

So tell me, did you partner enjoy your birth too? .

🌟 NUTRITION 🌟
.

How seriously do you take your diet? It's so amazing that what we eat can massively impact our body -in more than just appearance. Your diet can be healing in so many ways and, arguably the opposite can be said.
.

Did you know that eating or drinking too much sugar curbs immune system cells that attack bacteria. In short, after sugar consumption, our immune system takes a dip and we are vunerable to pick up bugs, like the common cold, much more easily. Personally, having now had a cold for well over three weeks now, I am cursing sugar, as I so often turn to it when I feel tired. .

For more serious diseases, we are frequently hearing how a change in someone's diet dramatically increased their life expectancy, and that really is of no surprise. Perhaps disease is more prominent, because of our crappy diets and all the processed food we consume.
.

Nutition is important if you want to live a long and healthy life and it can certainly have a huge impact in your fertility and pregnancy. Mumma Nuture will assess and build you an amazing bespoke package that will be a kick start to a new life for you. .

Get in touch got more details. .

Do any of you out there have nutition / diet stories that have impacted thier life to share? .
