Active Birthing Workshop Alert! The next workshop is up on the website now and is available for booking...Sunday 20th October. Empower & educate yourself to achieve the birth you desire. The places are fairly limited - paying your deposit will secure your spot: http://mumandbaby.ie/active-birth-workshop.html

"The course covered all aspects of labour and provides you with really helpful and useful tools that you can use in all stages of labour. It also provided really good detail on birth including interventions and pain medication and provided a good overview of the pros and cons which I haven't received from any doctors or books I've read.
I really enjoyed the discussions had with other couples and with Helen, and learning about their own experiences.
Helen delivers the course content in a manner that is easily understood. It's clear to see she has huge experience and has done a great deal of research over the years. She manages to get across clearly the important points and gives you a lot of very useful information that you can take away and decide yourself the best options for you. I was very fearful of the labour process beforehand but after the course I feel much more prepared and much more confident about the experience."

Enormous congratulations to two of my gorgeous mamas, who both gave birth on Thursday last week :)
The incredible Karen, birthed her beautiful third girl - she was nervous about the potential size of baby (she had been told to expect a 10 pounder), but who was a perfect 8lbs 2oz. "Helen all went very well and it was a lovely birth. She was born nice and slowly and very relaxed...delighted I could enjoy it. Thanks a million for everything. Your classes are absolutely amazing and have been such a great part of my last 2 pregnancies...can't thank you enough! Hope all is good with you and the girls in class xx". Please note ladies - NOBODY can accurately measure the birthweight of your baby!

And what a KICK ASS first birth for the amazing Noeleen who birthed her beautiful little boy, 7lbs 3oz. Noeleen was also a bloody Rockstar and had a super fast birth, about 3.5hrs. "Wishing all the other mamas-to-be all the best and hoping to see them and you in one of your baby classes in the near future. Thanks for all the lovely relaxing classes, I really, really enjoyed them".

Ladies, you are both flipping awesome and I am so blessed that I could help guide you in any small way. It's an incredible privilege to be any part of it. You should be SO proud of yourselves! Big love and hugs ### Helen xx

Have you seen this week's blog? It's a question I get asked all the time by ladies who are feeling a little anxious...'is it too late for me to start practicing yoga'?
I hope you enjoy ###

I get emails and phone calls all the time from gorgeous pregnant mamas, and so many of them are wondering the same thing.... is it too late for me to start yoga? I can hear the slight anxiety in their voices.

This week's blog is a little controversial but incredibly important.
How much weight should I gain in Pregnancy & why is it so important? With so many women and men becoming overweight, weight gain during pregnancy is something we need to address.
This week’s blog address WHY it’s important to maintain a healthy weight all during your pregnancy; how much weight you should safely put on and the importance of why the additional weight is required.
This is NOT about aesthetics or blaming women it’s about what is healthy and safe for us as women and for the future health of our children.

Comment below with questions and please do share xx

With more women becoming overweight, learn how much weight you should gain during pregnancy to have a healthy pregnancy, and a healthy baby.

If someone told me when I was pregnant, that the way I sit or stand can affect the length of my ...I'd be listening to them with each cell of my body!
Did you see this week’s blog?
Enjoy x

The way you sit or stand during your pregnancy can affect the length of my labour. Your posture alone can also have an unbelievable influence on the levels of comfort / pain in your pregnant (and postnatal) body.

Did you catch this week's blog? Is it safe to exercise in Early Pregnancy? Having had 3 miscarriages and being an avid exerciser, this subject is so close to my heart! I really hope you enjoy it and find it valuable xx

Is it safe? Will it cause a miscarriage? These are probably the top two burning questions that pregnant women have about exercising in early pregnancy.
