Welcome...
... if you are going to be a first time mum, you are in the right place...
Becoming mum for the first time; let's make sure you have the best start to motherhood the first time round
When it's put like that.
Then yes of course, makes total sense.
Here's the thing though. You don't know what you don't know.
How do you know doing a series of things before the baby comes will help massively both for your wellbeing but practically.
How do you know having support will see you through a time of change, give you huge peace of mind and resolve issues quicker..
In my doula career, I meet women when they are pregnant and would like feel ready as they can and know they have the help all arranged.
Or, I meet women when the baby is here and they reach out for support as a reaction to feeling overwhelmed and generally not a happy camper.
Where would you put yourself?

My name is April...I am a mum to two beautiful boys
I’m also a Postnatal Specialist who shines a light on postnatal life before getting there, and then supports you when baby arrives.
I've been a Doula for a decade. I decided back then to focus on the postnatal bit. Why? Because we are given more instructions with a car than we are a baby!
I remember getting my first born home and thinking 'what the hell do I do know'.
Birth is life changing and needs love & energy. I believe though we are always postnatal and we should give ourselves the best start we can.
