A phrase I used to flipantly use a lot was "it just wasn't meant to be". Please read below as to why I will never use this phrase again (spoiler: it's just really unhelpful). So 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, still birth or premature birth, that's a fair few. Can they ALL be put down to "it wasn't your fault", "there's nothing you could have done", and my favourite from my GP "you've just been unfortunate". These are some of the closest phrases you're likely to get to an answer after a miscarriage. 71% of parents are not given a medical reason for their miscarriage, still birth or premature birth. Without this, parents are left wondering why has this happened, many and particularly women blame themselves. Yesterday @tommys_thebabycharity launched a new campaign called #tellmewhy calling for more research in to loss and complications in pregnancy. A recent survey saw that 82% of parents blamed themselves for something they may have done. When I had my first miscarriage I was certain it was because I was carrying heavy shopping bags in really hot weather. After my second miscarriage my Mum told me to stop practising yoga. After my third miscarriage my partner kept pestering me to sit down and rest. No one had any answers and we were willing to try anything to hold on to that pregnancy. Parents shouldn't be left wondering WHY with little or in my case and many others, no support. Tommy's is calling for much needed funding for more research in to the area of complications in pregnancies and preterm birth - so that parents can finally know why, why has this happened. Maybe there was something I could have done, perhaps it's something biological that needs looking in to? How will we ever know if these conversations keep getting swept under the carpet and parents keep getting ushered out of scans and GP practices without any support or answers. Just maybe, maybe it is meant to be but with a little support, knowledge or medical intervention 💖 🎈 This picture was taken last year when I was almost 3 months pregnant. Sadly unbeknown to me the pregnancy had ended and I wouldn't find out until a week later.
So so so grateful to have the privilege to move my body in a way that makes me feel good and alive. It's not ground-breaking, it's not intense, it's not for aesthetics, it's not for any other purpose other than it makes me feel good. Thank you body 💚💚💚 . . #dearbodythankyou #movementmatters #mobilitytraining #yogaformentalhealth #yogaforeverybody #yogaforeveryone #everydayyoga #maternalmentalhealth #youmatter #enjoyyourbody #celebrateyourbody

Nearly back to school - let me indulge just a little bit longer!!! So I seem to be sharing a bit more of what we get up to on our days out, my personal life, and my loved ones over here of late. Hope you don't mind. I resisted before. But I kind of feel like it's all connected anyway. I like to share what makes me happy, grateful, unites and connects me with other parents, women and families. Yoga, means to unite, to bring together, and I love sharing and uniting all the components of my life that bring me happiness and gratitude and connects me to others. I always aim to live a bit more lovingly, whether that be with myself, those around me, the planet, however it manifests. And want to inspire others to do the same. Sometimes that may be sharing Yoga, food or stories. Some stories may be fun and frivolous and others may not be that nice or are difficult subject matters, but they may unite us through similar experiences. And sometimes it may just be the joy of baking cakes with my daughter. Can't get better that!!! Any way if you've read this far you deserve a medal 🎖 Xx #yoginilife #prana #yogamedicine #yogamummy #breathe #meditation #bakingcakes #ourlifeinpictures #sharingstories #motherhoodunited #motheringtoolkit #ourlittleadventures #familytime #thingstodowithkids #livingconsciously #choosehappiness #nextgeneration #sussexbloggers
Today, on what felt like the hottest day EVER, we decided to go ahead with our plans to go to a kids adventure play park @fishersfarmpark . Thank goodness for the splash park they have their now as every one needed cooling off after lunch. I actually visited this farm quite frequently as a child and now I'm taking my own child. Which feels quite pleasantly nostalgic. Definitely a lot more to do now than there was over 25 years ago 😱, in fact we didn't manage to do half the activities on offer. There's quite a lot that you have to try and squeeze in to the day. Always an incentive for another visit on a later date, ay! . . #daysoutinsussex #daysoutwiththekids #sussexlife #sussexlifemagazine #activekids #littleadventures #fishersfarm #enjoythemoments #outdoorkids #ourlittleadventures #familytime #thingstodoinsussex #thingstodowithkids #funinthesun #mummyblogger #sussexbloggers #motherhood #schoolholidays #daysout
