Pregnancy, when you’re growing life inside of you and it’s this beautiful, magic time of your life. Or it’s not, and the ‘pregnancy glow’ you have is actually just sweat and you now come with your own sound effects when you move (grunt, grunt, moan). Sometimes it’s both of these things, sometimes it’s both within …

While I was incredibly grateful for my pregnancies, and I love my children to bits, I did not cope with pregnancy very well. To be completely honest, there were a whole heap of things I hated about being pregnant. For a long time, I felt guilty about this and I didn’t share these feelings with …
As if being a new mum isn’t hard enough, there’s a whole heap of stories we are told from the moment those two lines appear on the pregnancy test. The advice flows in (even if you don’t ask for it) but there are also a lot of myths about being a new Mama that you’ll …

I’m a massive fan of TED Talks, so naturally, when I was pregnant and preparing for birth I went straight to my favourite TED Talks for ideas and thoughts. These are some of the best TED Talks about pregnancy and birth that all expecting parents need to watch. They will help you challenge your thoughts about …

At the mere mention of breastfeeding, you’ll have a whole heap of women (ourselves included) who have stories, opinions and anecdotes about it. You’ll also have a whole heap of women (ourselves included) who get really excited to talk about it and celebrate it! Despite all of this talk, there were still a few things …
From the moment those little lines appear on your pregnancy test the seed of worry starts to nestle in. Let’s face it, as women (generally speaking) we are pretty darn good at this ‘worry’ game. We worry about what we eat, how we move, if we are doing all the ‘right’ things in pregnancy, and …
