For me, the forth trimester pushed me more than I’ve ever been pushed in my life. The support bubble of pregnancy seemed to lift and I was left seemingly in the wilderness unable to navigate my surroundings. I lost who I was at times and felt uncertain of my way out, only now looking back can I reflect on why I felt as I did, with the want and desire to support other mums going through the same. The forth trimester has been the catalyst for me starting this, and as such, will be given lots of space on the podcast. I’ve made the decision to break it down into segments, starting with feeding. I tried it all, breastfeeding, combination and through to full formula - in this episode I share my journey. I didn’t realise how much of an impact it was having on my mental health and looking back, I only wish I’d recognised earlier how it was making me feel. The saying is true - happy mum, happy baby - find your rhythm and take confidence in what feels right for you. I hope by sharing my experience I can support other mums to do what’s best for them and their baby.
