25.01.2022 A day spent preparing for our Circle of Security group tomorrow. Looking forward to joining Karen O'Mara of Making Mama as we explore parenting through the COS lens with our first group of Mums. What is hidden in plain sight? Once seen, it’s obvious.

24.01.2022 I’ll be joining Karen from Making Mama to co-facilitate a Circle of Security group starting soon. If interested, please go to the link or message me for more details.

24.01.2022 At nine in the evening you may feel like you got nothing done all day long. But if I'd been shadowing you, I could list a hundred quiet acts of caring that you are too tired to remember. - Patty Wipfler

21.01.2022 If you experienced postnatal depression or anxiety what did it look like for you when you began feeling better? What did you notice? Some women have shared they could breathe or sleep better... Some say they could take an interest in some other things, rather than being just focused on their feelings or surviving the day... And what helped you get to that?

21.01.2022 Years ago our family was hit by a gastro bug and our son, aged 16 months became very unwell. (I had weaned him just some weeks or months before.) Our family Dr said he could admit him to hospital to be on a drip, or I could reintroduce breastfeeding. That was an easy decision for me. Within a short time he was well again, and I continued to breastfeed him for several more months. ... I was so grateful. Breastmilk - what a gift it is. See more

20.01.2022 It’s okay to have bad days, It’s okay to feel like you’re struggling. It’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to reach for support Keep going Queens

19.01.2022 I'd rather be a mother than anyone on earth Bringing up a child or two of unpretentious birth... I'd rather tuck a little child all safe and sound in bed than twine a chain of diamonds about my [carefree] head. I'd rather wash a smudgy face with round, bright, baby eyes... Than paint the pageantry of fame or walk among the wise. Meredith Gray See more

19.01.2022 The latest edition of the Australian Journal of Grief and Bereavement focuses on grief and loss in infertility. Author Darcy Harris writes, ... it may be appropriate to view couples who have undergone failed infertility treatments as bereaved parents whose loss goes largely unacknowledged by those around them and that infertility has been described as like a death for which there are no rituals and little public acknowledgement. Pregnancy loss of any kind can invoke intense feelings of grief including anger, sadness, powerlessness and loneliness... these feelings need expression and validation. The greatest gift we can give during these times is to take the time to listen and allow the opportunity to grieve.

19.01.2022 Reflections you see in the mirror may be distorted by socially constructed ideas of beauty. Dr Caroline Leaf

17.01.2022 Come over here and sit with us. There is always a seat at our table. You belong x

16.01.2022 How our past experiences can affect connection with our own babies and their health... and why support for Mums and their healing is critical.

09.01.2022 Congratulations to Bindi and Chandler on their announcement they have a baby on the way. Such wonderful news.

08.01.2022 One disability is entirely preventable - Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

07.01.2022 Postpartum psychosis is a rare (around 1-2 women in every 1,000) but very serious condition that some Mums face following birth. We need to watch for these symptoms and if they are present, seek medical help immediately.

06.01.2022 This pregnant Mum ran a mile in less than six minutes, one week before her due date. Pretty sure I waddled everywhere at 9 months. I’m in awe...

05.01.2022 It can just feel like another burden. Another thing to ‘do’. Or that we’re NOT doing. That we need to get ‘better’ at. Often, mothers are burnt out and need sel...f-care because of the perfect-Motherhood expectation that’s been heaped onto them to ‘do it all’. So when we buy into the idea that ‘self care’ is an individual’s problem to solve, we’re playing by the rules of the same system that contributed to fatigue to begin with. Self-care won’t undo the socially-induced overwhelm that contributes to mothers’ depletion. Instead? Challenge culturally defined perfect motherhood based on self-sacrifice Know that mothers generally are doing the best they can with where they find themselves right now Ask a mother what can I do to help right now? or even better - just do something

05.01.2022 Postnatal depletion - what is it and how to recover? This is a free webinar. It’s all about taking better care of our Mums in the fourth trimester.

04.01.2022 Summer is coming

03.01.2022 Some of the saddest words...

03.01.2022 I birthed seven babies before I learned about delayed cord clamping and the benefits for our Bubs. My friend Annie Barnes who is a midwife shared the research with me and I think every Mum should know. In Qld, it’s policy but not often practised. Sharing below some info about delayed cord clamping from Badassmotherbirther... but that’s not my friend Annie... just to be clear

03.01.2022 "Shortly after being discharged from the hospital, someone commented on my postpartum appearance. C-section incision still bandaged, tattoo of fuzz from medical... tape remnants still sticky, the comment reached my muddled emotional mind and gave it a cold hard slap. I cried instantly. A deep childlike cry leaving me needing an Advil from a throbbing head. The sting was as much from the disappointment people can be so cruel as it was from the actual comment itself. The worst part? The comment slinger wasn't even someone in my close circle. And still, it did such a number on my already raw heart. A week or so later, I was FaceTiming my mother in-law. Much like every other FaceTime since The Comment, I kept the camera only angled towards James and Lukecareful to ensure no one caught a glimpse of my healing body I was suddenly insecure about. During the call, James needed me, so Luke took the phone. I was thrust into the camera view. Jane said, 'Kels. Your face is glowing with motherly peace and joy.' The weeks since then, I’ve seesawed back and forth between the two women’s comments. One put my mind in an unrelenting negative chokehold. The other reached in and tenderly held my handgiving it a knowing, understanding squeeze. One made me feel obsessively insecure about my appearance. The other shifted my focus back into the reality of what really mattershow I Feel. Not how I look. I won’t say what the negative comment was. I don’t want to speak it and give it more weight than I already have. As Brene Brown so beautifully says, criticism is cheap, easy, and chickenshit. We have to choose to step over it and move on. But what I will say is: We have a choice. We have all been the giver of the not-so-great comment at some point. But every day, in every conversation, we have a choice. How will our voice ring in someone’s ears? Will we be the one to smack them into a spiral of negative self talk for months? Or will we be the one to spin their chair toward the mirror, put our arms on their shoulders, and gently point them toward the qualities in themselves that truly last and truly matter? We have a choice. Every day. Will you heal or will you hurt?" Want to be featured? Submit your own story here: https://www.lovewhatmatters.com/submissions/ #LoveWhatMatters Credit: Kelsey Pfleiderer
