Motherhood is the greatest journey that any woman can go on. But while it is a personal experience, you probably benefited from grabbing a helping hand or two along the way. Now is your chance to return the favour by helping other mums in their parenting journeys.
There’s something no one quite tells you before you become a mum: that while you’re busy raising your child, something else is quietly happening—you’re becoming someone new, too. Motherhood reshapes everything. Not just your sleep schedule or your sense of time, but your very sense of self. Somewhere in the middle of the nappies and […]
While so much of motherhood is about giving, not every mother receives the same care in return. Many mothers still have someone to mother them, offering comfort, reassurance, and encouragement. Others must navigate the challenges of raising children without that safety net. Whether through loss, distance, or broken relationships, some mothers face the journey without the guidance and support they once knew or never had.
Becoming a mum is one of life’s most joyous experiences, but it also comes with its fair share of unexpected challenges. One aspect that many mums-to-be overlook is postnatal bleeding. Despite extensive reading and preparation, the reality of bleeding after birth can be far more intense and prolonged than anticipated. Here’s my personal journey through four births, shedding light on the truths no one tells you about postnatal bleeding.
When I had my first baby, I quickly discovered that everyone has an opinion on how to raise children. From well-meaning friends and family to health visitors and online forums, there’s no shortage of parenting advice for new parents in the UK. Add to that the stack of books and leaflets I’d collected, and I felt overwhelmed. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned on my motherhood journey, it’s this: it’s your baby, and it’s your choice how you nurture and care for them.
Mornings can be an absolute circus when you’re a mum. You’ve got the usual parade of responsibilities—packing lunches, finding missing school shoes, and refereeing breakfast table bickering—all before 8 a.m. Sometimes it feels like you deserve a trophy just for getting everyone out of the house with (relatively) clean socks on. But, you know what? You can make your mornings not only more effective, but more enjoyable as a mum
As a mum, you take on numerous responsibilities to ensure everyone in your family is taken care of. But while nurturing others may take precedence, don’t overlook the need to stay mentally sharp yourself. Aging gracefully doesn’t mean accepting mental decline. On the contrary, do activities that keep your mind agile and vibrant. In this blog, I’ll look at strategies and lifestyle changes that can help unlock mental fitness, empowering you as an aging mum with wisdom, wit, and a sharp mind.
Motherhood is a transformative journey, both physically and emotionally. As your body and life undergo significant changes, it can sometimes feel like you’re losing touch with your former self. Many new mums find themselves struggling with self-esteem and identity after childbirth, but it’s important to remember that this phase is a time of growth and exploration, not loss. Rediscovering confidence and embracing the possibilities of who you can become through motherhood is essential for your overall well-being.
