How is everybody doing today? ⭐ In the interest How is everybody doing today? ⭐ In the interest of making sure you have put on your own oxygen mask so you can help yourself before helping others, I have written a few hints and tops on my blog to help you turn down the anxiety. ⭐ They are not specifically pregnancy related although they are going to really help you if you are expecting in the next few days and weeks. ⭐ Just click the link to my blog in my bio and if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a shout. ⭐ Keep safe 😘 . . . #pregnancy #pregnant #pregnancyandcorona #coronakindness #hypnobirthing #hypnobirthingrocks #duein2020 #due2020 #babyonboard #mumtobe #mumtobeagain #onlineantenatalclasses #onlinehypnobirthing #virtualhypnobirthing #socialdistancing #stayathome
How is everybody doing? Are you able to get your How is everybody doing? Are you able to get your head around what is happening in the world, or outside your own door at the moment? Are you anxious about relatives or your baby or your unborn child? It can be pretty overwhelming when we feel as though we have no sense of control over anything, especially when it is something that doesn't seem to want to be controlled! ⭐ The trouble is that often makes us even more stressed and we get caught up in a vicious circle. ⭐ STOP! BREATHE! Let's just take it one step at a time. You need to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can do anything for anyone else. ⭐ I have recorded a free relaxation recording that I would love for you to download and listen to. It is not pregnancy, age or gender related so anyone in your family or household can use it. Just click on link in my bio. ⭐ There are many things that we can't control at the moment but we can always breath. Help yourself to the download so you can start looking after yourself. ⭐ Please feel free to share . . .

For those of you who have questions about what you For those of you who have questions about what you should be doing in pregnancy as far as social distancing and self-isolating is concerned. Read this post #Repost @thecomplementarymidwife with @get_repost ・・・ The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RCOG) held a Q&A in Twitter last night. They answered your questions about your maternity care in light of Covid 19. ⁣ ⁣ You can find these in the Highlights in my Bio. ⁣ ⁣ The situation might change, so I will keep you updated in my Stories and I’ll pop them in my Highlights.

When we are stressed we trigger off our 'fight or When we are stressed we trigger off our 'fight or flight' response because if we are stressed our subconscious thinks we are under attack. Adrenalin is released and our bodies are primed to run away from or fight our way out of danger - fabulous if we are about to be attacked by a Sabre-toothed tiger. ⭐ Not so fabulous if we have no way of actually using that excess adrenalin - like listening to all the news reports about Covid-19 for example. All that excess adrenalin makes our hearts beat uncomfortably fast, our breathing become much more rapid, we feel twitchy and jumpy because our bodies want us to move. We might not be able to sleep because it is not 'safe' to let down our guard and we might feel permanently sick or unable to eat or constantly need the loo because in times of danger all that energy needs to go to our external limbs to make us run faster. ⭐ The problem is, even though the current situation is scary, there is nothing from us to run away from and as much as we would like to be using fisticuffs on those nasty germs, that is currently not possible. What we are left with is a general feeling of anxiety and uncertainty and, dare I say it, fear! ⭐ You may be feeling helpless and vulnerable but taking a moment, every now and then, just to breathe is going to make you feel better. Yes, I know that sounds simplistic in light of what is happening but there is scientific evidence behind this statement. When we breath, focussing on the out-breath, it triggers our relaxation response. This is the exact opposite of fight or flight. In other words, we can't be both - we are either stressed or relaxed. If you focus on making your out breath as long as possible, the in-breath will take care of itself. You will feel calmer, your ability to take in more oxygen will increase, your heart rate will regulate, your thoughts will become clearer and you will feel better. Try it! ⭐ Above all, don't suffer in silence. If you are feeling anxious, talk to someone, and remember 'If in doubt.........breathe out! You've got this Mama 😘 . . . #coronavirusinpregnancy #covid-19inpregnancy
From @hellobabyantenatal via @allaboutbabiesuk : From @hellobabyantenatal via @allaboutbabiesuk : #Repost @allaboutbabiesuk with @get_repost ・・・ #Repost @hellobabyantenatal with @get_repost ・・・ You might be a little concerned about having a baby in these uncertain times. Please don’t stress too much! I work at a busy London hospital so am up to date on how things are panning out. Some thoughts: 😷Lots of people have been posting guidelines published by @rcobsgyn on #coronavirusinpregnancy. The bottom line is - although pregnant women have lower immunity, neither they nor babies are thought to be more seriously affected by the virus. 😷Although maternity services will be adapting the way they operate, labour ward and the birth centres will be very much “business as usual”. It’s one area that is considered too important to compromise on and I doubt you’ll notice much difference in the level of care provided when you’re giving birth. That said, it might be fair to expect some minor delays in getting what you want - e.g. epidurals, the birthing pool - due to possible staff shortages and pressures around the hospital overall. Mentally prepare yourself for this with other tools to help whilst you’re in labour (more on this in another post soon!). 😷You won’t be turned away if you have suspected / confirmed coronavirus. There will be dedicated areas (on labour ward) to look after you if you’re unwell, and you will be kept separate from other patients. 😷Where you might see changes: restrictions on visitors (prob only 1 birth partner); reduction in face-to-face appointments where possible; more phone consultations. Don’t feel you have to stay away though: call your mw / labour ward / maternity helpline if worried about anything. Ask your midwife about any changes to maternity care. 😷Staying close to your baby - even if coronavirus is confirmed - is still recommended, and breastfeeding is also strongly recommended by many sources. 😷Stay tuned for updates as I find out more - both as a midwife and an expectant mum!
