OMG OMG OMG I’m pregnant and what comes next??? It’s a little bit of

EVERYTHING and that’s ok! Here are some of the most common things that

women feel / think when they first find out they’re, omg, pregnant!! I’d

love to hear yours too! Email [email protected] or come share on

Facebook.

Imagine a super calm birth that includes flapjack bites, cartoon alpacas,

padding about the hospital carpark in your socks and stopping for long,

chilled out hugs much to the concern of passersby. Meet Bryony. I love her

birth story, hope you do too! xx

Baby Reflux - it’s a phrase that I see casually flung around like ‘oh he’s

just got a bit of reflux’ try x y z.

This scattergun approach doesn’t help and leaves your baby unsettled, in

discomfort, and can have longer lasting health implications.

What’s more the type of birth experience you have CAN be part of the baby

reflux jigsaw. The more calm and relaxed the better - another reason I’m so

passionate about helping you have the best birth possible!!

Determined to get some facts about it from an expert who KNOWS I turned to

Aine Homer, The Baby Reflux Lady. You need to listen to this NOW!

an opinion and no two the same. Help! And as if by magic I am bringing you

Chloe had been labouring at home for two days but with meconium evident in her waters and a lull in labour she took the decision to transfer to hospital.

Do you feel like you’re winging it as a first time mum? Most new parents

tell me they can’t believe the hospital staff let them leave with their

newborn ‘how are they supposed to know what to do?” Truth is, everyone

feels the same and you will find your way. First time mum Chloe shares a

few pearls (and tears) of her wisdom. Big love, Sophia
