THE MOON & LOTUS BIRTH PREP

How you feel about your birth and your early parenting experiences will impact you far more, and for significantly longer, than the type of pram you purchased. ⁣

⁣

Your baby needs an empowered and emotionally healthy, non-traumatised parent far more than they require a new nursery (that they won’t sleep in for several months, possibly years). ⁣

⁣

Paying for birth education, making changes to support yourself in a healthy and nourishing postpartum or hiring a doula can all feel like big expenses for sure. The price of recovering from trauma or postnatal overwhelm/depletion/depression/anxiety can be much higher; materially, physically & psychologically. ⁣

⁣

It is ok to prioritise your well-being over items you may use rarely, if at all, or for a short time only. It’s ok to choose your experience, your emotional health, YOU over owning material items.

⁣

Planning for the healthiest, most physiological, most positive birth & postpartum you can experience, and investing in that, is a beautiful way to honour your body, your baby, and the family you will become. ⁣⁣

I believe you & your family are worth it 💛 ⁣
