Show Notes
In this episode, we share tips and tricks learned along the way for surviving the Christmas period!
We asked you over on our Instagram page, for your top tips for navigating the festive season whilst pregnant, with a small baby, freebirth specific challenges - and your responses were great!
We discuss expectations around the first Christmas, letting go of making the Instagram-perfect picture, making your own traditions, discussing freebirth plans over the Christmas dinner, the importance of supporting the mother-baby relationship, and what new parents *actually* need at Christmas.
We also discuss the pressures to 'have a good time', how this time of year can bring up a whole mix of stuff, how to speak to yourself with kindness, and how it's okay to perhaps feel the odd one out as you're preparing for freebirth.
We end with some resolutions and reflections to take in to the next year - and a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported us so far with the podcast.
Next year will see a tonne of amazing stories and special guests that we cannot wait to share with you all!
