In this e-book I have attempted to bag the last 10 years of experience into 12 steps on how to navigate parenthood, side step stress and retain your identity as a woman whilst nurturing your baby. To sum up this E book covers: triggers for anxiety around feeding, adjusting and letting go of the perceived plan of parenthood and how we mirror the behaviour of our own parents concluding with how to ‘shake off’ some of that learning to become a new mum with a new life. Everyone approaches birth in their own way, some people spend many hours researching, others attend antenatal classes, be that hypnobirthing, yoga or your local hospital or NCT. How a woman decides to birth will be based on their mental and physical health, the stories they have heard via their family and friends and, of course, what their baby is up to in the womb.
