In today’s episode, we talk about the often-ignored fourth trimester of motherhood. Learn about the changes experienced by both you and your baby during this time, why crying is normal for your baby, how to understand your baby's needs, and how to ensure your own needs are met as well. Also, explore some practical strategies for managing this intense period, from sling wearing to co-sleeping, preparing meals in advance, managing visitors and more. My honest conversations on the challenges of the fourth trimester aim to encourage new mothers to prioritize their own needs and express their feelings openly to those around them.

About the Host

Hi, I’m Kelly - a mum of 2 and Hypnobirthing teacher and Birth Educator. My story starts with the premature birth of my little girl. I was shell shocked and felt disappointed in the care I had received during my labour, that left me with a less an ideal birth experience. I started motherhood feeling lonely, overwhelmed and without the slightest clue of how to make things feel better. When I fell pregnant for the second time, I knew I had to take back control. I practised Hypnobirthing and built my knowledge around birth, going on to have an incredible and powerful birth to my son. But something clicked for me. I knew I wanted to help other women build up their knowledge so they could have better experiences too. This led me to train to become a Hypnobirthing teacher, and I have been helping women with my 5* rated course, to feel more supported and have better birth experiences since 2021. Through this work, I’ve met other incredible experts in the Motherhood space and have began to build up a bank of knowledge on how we can make motherhood feel less chaotic and more happy and empowering. I’ve seen and felt the highs and lows of birth and motherhood and I don’t think anyone should go through the journey alone. So welcome, to ‘The Motherhood Guide: Birth and Beyond’, where I combine my knowledge and experience to help you feel seen, heard, reassured and supported. 

Join me for a new episode every Monday, with solo episodes and interviews with other experts in the motherhood space.
