It’s interesting. I thought I knew everything about myself once upon a time. I may not have liked it all, but I really truly thought that I knew all there was to know about …well, me. I mean, who else could know me the way that I do? No-one, right? (more…)
Welcome to the tenth instalment of our Real Birth Story Series! This instalment was contributed by Ruby Hunt, creator of her gorgeous businesses – Piper and the little, and Biddy Hunt. Ruby is a mum of one little human – the gorgeous Spencer, who is 8.5 months old, as well as Piper – her fur baby who is 6 years old. Ruby’s story outlines her long labour and the subsequent stressful and painful afterbirth complications and is told with humour.

This is probably the most random blog post that I have ever written. But it is actually something that I have wanted to write about for a long time. It is a story about these old hands of mine. Yep, you heard me, my hands. (more…)
I am very honoured today to be able to share this post with you, which has been contributed by the beautiful Kat – creator and blogger over at My Raw Self. Kat is the mum of two gorgeous, adorable and squeeeeezable boys, and this is her story of being a “motherless” mum. Get your tissues out, because Kat is about to break your heart… xx (more…)
My husband and I had a conversation recently, about how much our time is worth. Already, you can imagine that this was a fun conversation, right?? And by “fun” I mean it was one of the most frustrating conversations I have ever had with him, and it filled me with red-hot rage. And while he looks back on it sheepishly, as a “brain fart”, and has apologised profusely, it is something that I feel like I have got to talk about. (more…)
Hypnobirthing… I had never heard of it before falling pregnant. In fact, I hadn’t even really given my future labour a proper thought, other than knowing that I was really excited at the thought that I would one day be going through it. What a weirdo huh? I had been lucky enough to witness a good friends labour a couple of years before, and was so amazed and in love with what I had seen. Not in a creepy way but in a life is a freaking miracle sort of way. (more…)
So. Today has been an interesting day so far. And by “interesting”, I mean “shit”. Today has been totally shit. And that’s because apparently today is the day that my baby has decided to turn into an absolutely mind blowingly ridiculous little turd burger. (more…)
We are travelling with our son in the morning. For the second time in his little life, we are heading to the airport, hopping onto a plane, and flying away to a warm and tropical destination…and I am both super excited AND absurdly terrified. (more…)
Here is the conclusion to the amazing seventh instalment in our Real Birth Story Series, contributed by the lovely Kate Noppert! As you may know, Kate has kindly contributed not one, but THREE incredibly raw stories which I have been absolutely priviledged to be able to publish for you over the last week. If you haven’t read the first part’s to Kate’s story, then you can read them here. Click here for part one and here for part two xxx. This lovely conclusion outlines the birth of Kate’s final beautiful daughter Sylvie, and shows us that it can be possible to achieve the birth you hope for with the right support during and after birth. I am so thrilled to be able to present this final chapter to you all, and I hope that you enjoy the conclusion to Kate’s very raw and honest journey into parenthood as much as I did… xxx (more…)
