#malasana perfect for opening up the hips in preparation for childbirth. I find this pose really satisfying, my knees are quite open here to accommodate for the bump. If your hips are particularly tight or you need support, you can hold on to a chair or stall for support 💖 #yogasquat #pregnacyyoga #prenatalyoga #prenatalhealth #pregnancydiaries #birthingwithoutfear #birthpreparation #birthpreparation #naturalbirthing #birthpositions #pregnancyfitness #2ndtrimester #secondtrimester #26weekspregnant #hypnobirthing #prenatalwellbeing #meditation

Been thinking a lot about daily habits & how they shape our lives & can shape our sense of who we are. Over the last few years I've been chipping away doing a lot of work on myself & my mindset. It's not always easy unlocking years of ingrained habits, go-to emotional responses, & delving in to how you can change to steer yourself in to a more fulfilling direction. Changes take some work & sometimes we just aren't willing to make the changes with ourselves & want everyone and everything else to change around us. Without realising we can sometimes fall in to a trap of thinking things happen to us & we have no power or control over the impact it has on us. There are things that happen that we can't control & that's fine. We can't control everything and why would we want to! But we can choose how we react & respond, how we allow it to impact us, & how we move forward. When we got our dog I felt so overwhelmed with the extra jobs involved with having a dog. And to be honest I wasn't keen on the idea of a dog any way. My mindset was already in a negative space. Our dog needs 2 hours of exercise a day. I just couldn't see how we were going to fit that in to our already busy lives. Now, fast forward 2 years, & walking my dog is one of my favourite parts of my day. I get so much mental clarity from being out in the fresh air, usually on my own, & I get to move my body. It's when I get a chance to have a proper think and get my head together. It totally reduces any feelings of stress & anxiety. So what once was something I used to moan about daily & I thought was adding to my stress levels has become the complete opposite & is something that has given me so much positivity. It took time, walking him everyday in all weather conditions, but the light shone through in the end & all I see now are the benefits. This is just a small example of how changing daily habits consistently can positively change your mindset and have a positive impact on your life. Can't imagine life without my little Buzzy-boos now 🐶💖 #changestartswithyou #wellbeing #prenatalhealth #meditation #keepingactive #walkingforhealth #changingyourmindset #positivemindset #themiraclemorning

One thing that's really hard to navigate when pregnant is determining how much or how little you're doing. You read all the literature of what you should and shouldn't be doing for a healthy pregnancy and it can be a little overwhelming. Sometimes it's really hard to listen to your body over the loud noise of life. But I have a little routine now that seems to be transforming my mindset and also helping with my sleep. I've been struggling massively with #pregnancyinsomnia throughout this pregnancy and it was leaving me drained and constantly fatigued. So I decided if I was awake any time from 5am I will just get up and transform my morning. Lying there trying to squeeze out sleep that just wasn't happening was making it worse, making irritable and unproductive and actually upsetting me. So now my routine is: 🔹️5am get up. 🔹️Clean my teeth. 🔹️Have a big glass of water and make a tea. 🔹️Roll out my mat and meditate. 🔹️Followed by a little yoga/stretch/breath work/or whatever I feel I need. 🔹️I will not look at my phone or the TV or any media or even put on big lights until I've done this. This has hugely improved my procrastination and lethargy levels. I'm more energised, more motivated and happier since doing this. Because sleep has been so fragile for me these past 25 weeks if I am asleep at 5am I won't wake myself to get up and do this but most mornings I am awake any way so now I use the time for me. AND the icing on the cake is I've started to notice improved sleep 🙌🏼🌟💖 A little book recommendation is #themiraclemorning by Hal Elrod and a little inspiration to follow someone who is also doing this and encouraging others to do so is @megan_rose_lane 💖

I had some people enjoy my weekly meal planner in my stories this week, so I thought I'd share it each week on here. It can be exhausting trying to work out what to feed the family each day and can also get really boring trying to think of things. So you can hit save and refer back to it when your struggling for ideas. I find doing a weekly meal planner before I do my food shop helps me to: 🔹️ Not overspend on food shopping. 🔹️ Less likely to waste food. 🔹️ Use my time better (not procrastinate in the kitchen trying to work out what we can eat with the food we have in the fridge and cupboards. 🔹️ Everyone knows what we're having. Although sometimes I switch the days around of schedules change. 🔹️ We're all more likely to eat better when I plan. I try to work in balance and variety in to the plan so everyone is happy. Hope this helps. I know it definitely helps me and I actually save time and money and less wastage! If you swipe across you'll see a close up of it for ease. #weeklymealplan #weeklymealplanner #planmeals #familymeals #feedingthefamily #feedingthekids #lessfoodwaste #spendless #shoppinglist #familymealplanning #healthycusine #shoppingbudget #mealsplans #healthymeals #goodmoodfood #familyfriendlymeals

Literally expanding in 2020 👊🌟 So I'm now #25weekspregnant and back to work and school for us. So I thought I would give a little update of where I'm at in pregnancy and general life. Rolled out my mat today to prep my classes for the week and was hoping to maybe create some yoga content as it's so sparse on these squares these days. But I'm just not feeling it 🤷🏼‍♀️ I don't feel like what I'm doing on my mat right now is helpful to you and doesn't really convey well through a picture on these squares. It's mainly meditation, breathing, manifesting and gentle movements to help support my back and hips. When I take a picture or video it just looks disingenuous and puts me off posting. I'm still having the worst sleep. I would say about 3.5 hours a night. Which is starting to take it's toll. I've tried everything. Pretty sure there isn't anything I haven't tried to get a better sleep but always open for suggestions! I'm not anxious or worried about the baby or birth so it's not that keeping up 🤷🏼‍♀️ I like showing you snippets into my pregnancy journey but also want to be respectful of those that can't have children or are struggling to have children. I had a few years of battling the unknown and the heartache and lack of support is all consuming. I don't want anything I post to upset anyone. Which I know is really presumptuous of me to think anyone is even bothered about what I'm getting up to - but those thoughts still niggle. And lastly, even though sleep deprivation is killing me, I'm feeling really creative again! It must be the #secondtrimester energy boost (or I'm delerious)! But those few years of miscarriage and fertility battles really took the wind out of me. We also had lots of other personal things going on which totally distracted me and left me a bit meh. But now I'm having so many ideas and thoughts and just not sure where to channel them.... #HNY 💖 . #pregnancy #pregnancydiaries #2ndtrimester #prenatalhealth #prenatalwellbeing #meditation #manifesting #sleepaid #wellbeing #bumppic #prenatalyoga #pregnancyyoga #babyloss #miscarriage #fertility #mummyblogger #mumstyle
