| AD | Dudes- I’m so excited to announce my part

There’s clumsy and there’s downright RUDE. It

There’s clumsy and there’s downright RUDE. It’s not like a late period- it’s a miscarriage, I lost my baby. God did not plan for me to lose my baby. You have no idea if there was anything wrong with my baby. It wasn’t just a blob. It was my baby.
It was real. It doesn’t matter how many kids I already have and if YOU think that’s enough or not. I wanted this baby. Permission to tell the folks who say these thing to get in the sea and stay there. #babylossawareness #blaw2021 #BLAW #miscarriage #miscarriageawareness #miscarriagesupport #nobodytellsyou

I have two goals here on Instagram… 1. To always match my subtitles to my clothes ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 2. To help you understand that whatever it is you are feeling or not feeling, worrying about or ashamed to say out loud, or to articulate or even put a name to..you are NOT alone. I hope that my page, and especially my reels show you that so many parents are going through the same things as you- and that often, just knowing that can be a huge relief and half the battle won 💪🏼 I know I’m a a day late for #worldmentalhealthday (life got in the way) but I want to reiterate that you are never alone with your feelings and fears. If you feel like you need some extra support then please don’t suffer in silence. Please speak to your GP or Midwife, or contact @pandas_uk or @samaritanscharity And if there is anything that you would like me to chat about that I haven’t covered before, just let me know below! Love Becca x #worldmentalhealthday #postnatalmentalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #postnataldepression #pnd #pna #postpartumdepression #fourthtrimester #nobodytellsyou

Dudes…how and why is this happening? Who is tea

Dudes…how and why is this happening? Who is teaching mums that their own health is so unimportant? Why are we perpetuating this idea that we need to be martyrs? How did it happen that mums are actually putting their own lives at risk for the sake of everyone else’s? If you are unwell physically or mentally, or you need or want to see a medical professional then you MUST do it. If you need a break or a sleep, then you MUST take it. You might feel too busy to prioritise yourself, but trust me, you are NOT too busy to take the time to look after number one. If you suspect or know that your family rely on you then it is even more important to look after yourself right? So do them a favour and do yourself a favour and take the time you need for your own mental and physical health. Make sure all your people get this!

‼️ A Riddle that you already know the answer t

‼️ A Riddle that you already know the answer to ‼️ Because I am afraid. When I walk to the station I can’t take the short cut down the alleyway that my husband takes because I might get raped or murdered or both. And when I make my way home and it’s dark, I either have to run home from the station to out-pace the rapists and murderers, or take a taxi to bypass them completely. My husband doesn’t have to think twice about taking a short cut down a quiet road in the daytime. My husband doesn’t have to look behind him when he walks alone. My husband doesn’t have to quicken his step for fear of being jumped or bundled into a car. My husband doesn’t have to spend £5 on an Uber from the station if he comes home after dark. That’s not cool. But I’m used to it. I feel like it’s always been this way. But I’m angry about it. And I am furious that the onus appears to be on us. And I’m devastated for the families of women who never made it home or those who made it home, but were changed forever. I will make sure my sons understand what it is like for girls growing up afraid of being attacked by men in the dark and in the daylight, and I will teach them to do their best to make sure the women they interact with or walk near feel safe. #saraheverard

Let’s talk about SEX Specifically postnatal/pos

Let’s talk about SEX Specifically postnatal/postpartum sex And the pressure to “DO IT” from your partner or even medical professionals.
Or did you put the pressure on yourself? NO ONE should make you feel pressured to have sex before you are ready. There are so many factors which might impact your return to a “normal” sex life (whatever that may be)
Here are a few
- kind of birth (traumatic? difficult?)
- postnatal recovery (complicated? long?)
- support from partner (none? not enough)
- relationship with partner (communication issues? jealousy of attention baby gets?)
- how you feed baby (breastfeeding - can affect libido and natural lubrication)
- where baby sleeps (co-sleeping?)
- how baby sleeps (they aren’t!)
- time you have for yourself (feeling touched out?) There are a bazillion things which can collide in the postnatal period to create the perfect storm of unsexiness - but this is NORMAL! Some of you will be back in the sack a few weeks postnatally, and for some it may take years. Whichever camp you’re in, the most important thing is communication with your partner, about how you’re feeling physically and emotionally. They are not mind readers 🙌🏽 If you’d like some extra support for the postnatal period and some reassurance about sex and how to navigate your relationship changes- do check out our Online Postnatal Course.
