There will also be an optional zoom call follow up on 30th Oct at 7pm where you can ask any questions that have popped up during your hypnobirth / techniques practice.

You will be held in a welcoming, non judgemental,, confidential space where you can freely share any worries, hopes, fears or excitement about pregnancy, birth and beyond.

As well as being a pregnancy and postnatal yoga teacher I work as a doula (supporting mothers / birthing people and parents to be as they prepare for birth, through labour / birth and in the early days with their baby), hypnobirth teacher and massage therapist and love including techniques that help people feel confident, calm and empowered on their pregnancy and birth journey.

I have supported hospital births, home births, cesarean births and assisted births and firmly believe there is no right way to birth, only what is right for each woman / birthing person and their partner if they have one.

Sunday 23rd Oct, 10.30am - 5pm, Llanilar Hall Cost for the day is £80, if you want to attend but finances are a barrier please just get in touch.

You can book via my website, any questions just ask 💜 xx

Hey loves, in my last post I promised to come back with practices to root into power, courage and strength 💪 and I will share those.... But I really feel that right now we need more connection, to tap into that sense of community and belonging 💝

So I'm thinking to set up 🔥 Cylch Phoenix Circle 🔥 with the idea being that we can come together to witness and support each other exactly as we are in the moment, with love and without judgement. To learn techniques to help release stress, nurture the nervous system, help us find both softness and resilience in these changeable times. To reconnect to our bodies. Our breaths. Our hearts. Our truth. Each other. To slow down and claim radical rest in a world that seems to be whirling so quickly.

💝Each circle would be about 90 minutes, and although they will be structured they will be informal, friendly and welcoming.

Payment would be donation based, just to help cover costs, placed in a bowl, or if money is tight just bring your beautiful self, no problem 💜 Another option would be to bring a trade, of anything you have an abundance of at that time, made, gathered etc.

All ages, tribes, genders welcome. All are welcome ❤️

If you would be interested in attending, please drop me a message or comment and can keep you posted on dates etc 💝💝 xx

Just a reminder 🌞🌞 I didn't know this when B was little, but although you technically shade your baby by draping stuff over the pram, you also increase the temperature by a LOT💙 xx

In a world where we rush around and try to fit too much in, a baby’s ‘due date’ has come to be seen by some people as a kind of appointment.

Statistically, only 5% of babies are born on their due date.

That's one in twenty.

Some come earlier, and many healthy babies are born after this.

I sometimes suggest that people plan to do something nice on their baby’s due date; there’s a really high chance that you’ll be free to do it!

But the important thing to remember is that, on the whole, our bodies and our babies’ bodies know what they’re doing.

If you’d like more information about due dates, induction or birth in general, see www.sarawickham.com/iol

Yes, feel free to repost. We just ask that you keep the original pic, words and credit intact and don’t put Sara’s words into your own branding 💜

In most countries of the world, parents will be asked whether they want their baby to have vitamin K, usually within the first hour of birth.

It’s your decision whether or not your baby has vitamin K.

If you decide that you want your baby to have it, it’s also up to you to decide which kind of vitamin K (oral or injection) you want your baby to have.

So you’ll want to weigh up the pros and cons, as with every decision you’ll make for your child.

I have been researching vitamin K for more than twenty years, and I have written several books and information leaflets on this subject for a number of organisations around the world.

I also have several blog posts that might help you better understand the issues.

In ‘seven things every parent needs to know about vitamin K, I summarise some of the key facts that you might want to consider when making your decision.

You can read it at https://www.sarawickham.com/articles-2/information-about-vitamin-k

I hope you’ll find it useful.
