Even if you’ve nailed your breastfeeding latch f

Even if you’ve nailed your breastfeeding latch from the start, the chances are you’re going to get sore nipples!
So if you’re giving breastfeeding a go then make sure you have this special purple tube of @lansinohfamily HPA Lanolin by your side! 💜
It provides relief to cracked nipples by creating the perfect environment for them to heal and replenishes the moisture that has been lost, which ultimately leads to a reduction in pain and helps you to breastfeed for longer- this has been proven!
It doesn’t need removing before you feed unlike other nipple balms and creams out there.
It is the number 1 nipple cream recommended by mums and 94% of Healthcare Professionals would recommend it to a pregnant or breastfeeding mum. What’s not to love?!

Being reminded of your “failures” as a mother

Being reminded of your “failures” as a mother can be really upsetting. That’s why we will always hold space for those of you who, despite your best efforts, haven’t been able to feed your baby the way you so badly wanted to.
But it’s important to acknowledge that the “best” way of feeding your baby can look different for everyone.
Sometimes our mental health gets in the way.
Sometimes our body doesn’t work as well as we hoped.
Sometimes we don’t have the support we need.
Sometimes we don’t have the answers.
Sometimes we try our hardest and we still don’t succeed.
But we do our best.
So if you’re grieving about your inability to breastfeed, and this week hurts for you, then please know that you’re not the only one.
It’s OK to feel sad, angry, jealous, confused, regretful and resentful. Those feelings may never go completely, but in time you will lear to recognise that you did your best and sometimes that’s all you can do.
And if you’re struggling right now please feel free to reach out. Just comment below and we will give you the support you need.

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy grows

An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy grows outside the womb.
It’s a life-threatening condition.
The baby can never be saved.
It’s the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester.
It affects around 1 in 80 pregnancies.
It can be a very traumatic event as it is associated not only with the loss of a baby but also with a huge amount of pain and often hospitalisation.
The recovery from an ectopic pregnancy can be very confusing, difficult and perhaps different to that of a miscarriage as there are so many other elements to this traumatic event.
The loss of a baby
The loss of a fallopian tube
The loss of blood
The knowledge that the baby would never have survived
And sadly there is often an added level of trauma associated with late diagnosis and the resulting surgery.
@ectopicpregnancy work to support people during diagnosis, treatment and recovery from ectopic pregnancy.
Please share this video to help spread awareness of a condition that is more common than you thought.
And a reminder of the symptoms
⚡️Tummy pain
⚡️Bleeding/brown/watery discharge
⚡️Shoulder Tip Pain
⚡️Discomfort when peeing or pooing
🆘 Call 999 if the pain is sharp or sudden, you feel very dizzy or faint, or sick or look very pale. Your tube may have ruptured 🆘

Bringing you all the good 💩 stories!! The main

Bringing you all the good 💩 stories!!
The main messages are…
1. Pooing is a great sign you’re pushing well and the baby is close behind.
2. The midwives have seen it all before and are very discreet.
3. Please don’t be so worried about doing a 💩 that it stops you from pushing properly!
4. No matter the size, shape, smell or trajectory you won’t give a shit! (Pun totally intended)
5. Piles (haemorrhoids) are very common after a vaginal birth. If over the counter preparations aren’t helping then please see your GP and remember they have seen it all before so you don’t need to be embarrassed!!
