This parenthood business hey? I mean, wowsa. What a ride. I know that I have said this before, but there is so much that you just don’t think about before you have kids. So much that goes unsaid. So much that you can never ever plan for. (more…)
My name is Tamla and I’m the Mama behind the small business, Bubakin. Essentially my birth stories are what shaped my business! Both my boys were born at home with two midwives and just my husband and I in blissful peaceful surroundings. So I will endeavour to write them both here in short. I really believe sharing stories is our first step to being the empowered birthing goddesses we really are. After all, our bodies were designed to have babies! (more…)
Ermagawd. I’m 28 weeks pregnant now and boy, things are really happening! This kid seriously tried to kick her way out of the front of my body this week. (more…)
I have now hit 25 weeks! WTAF? Where did those weeks go? How did I get here? Who am I? Time has flown by so quickly that my head may be literally spinning. (more…)
My Real Birth Story – Emily Whishaw from Mummy Couture Um, HI! (*waves*) I’m Emily from Mummy Couture. I started my little online business at 8 months pregnant with my second bub because I’m a workaholic and hate being a stay at home mum! (oops, did I just say that out loud?). I’m a Chartered Accountant by trade and LOVE everything small business. After 8 years of living in London, my hubby, daughter and I returned to Oz this year. With baby number no. 2 on the way I started to dread my impending maternity leave and finding myself stuck in the zombie mum routine of eat, feed, sleep, clean, repeat, so I took the opportunity to start the online business I always talked about starting. Mummy Couture offers stylish and affordable baby friendly accessories, fashion and gifts for mums. Because why should babies get all the nice things? Whist it is hard juggling mum life with building a business, I’ve learnt SO much and met some amazing mumprenuers also hustling away while breastfeeding and wiping bums. (more…)
I’m 22 weeks pregnant now hooray! And to celebrate, I have gotten a nasty case of the flu. The freaking damn flu! I got the flu jab two weeks ago so to me this was wholly unexpected. And totally unwelcome. Stupid flu jerk. (more…)
I always thought that I would be breastfeeding my children. I expected it. I kinda yearned for it. And I always thought it was my right. But I couldn’t do it no matter how hard I tried. And believe me, I really did try. (more…)
So, I have been thinking about my upcoming labour and birth again. Because you know, and you can call me crazy, but this time I really am kinda looking forward to squeezing a Watermelon out of a jelly bean. Well, you know what I mean. (more…)
Holy Moly, 19 weeks, 19 weeks, 19 weeks, how the HECK did we made it to 19 weeks?!! I mean, I have been pregnant for NINETEEN WEEKS and it feels like its only been for five minutes. Go figure… (more…)
I am 13 weeks pregnant now. This whole being pregnant thing is confusing this time around. Am I starting to feel better? Is it…Is that off feeling, that awfulness gone? Am I ok? What’s happening? Where am I? Questions I seem to be asking myself every day at the moment. (more…)
