How to Optimise your Journey to Motherhood

The benefits of honouring the journey to motherhood are many. Why do we only focus on preparing for birth at the end of pregnancy?

Imagine if I told you I was planning to run the London Marathon, we all know that is no mean feat and preparation is a must, people train for years for this.

Now imagine I told you the marathon is in 3 months and I have not done anything to prepare yet. You would think I am crazy, you may think I am setting myself up to fail, you may say ‘don’t you think you need to start preparing for something so important?’

So why would we feel the need to train for a marathon but not for giving birth to our baby? Is there anything more important than this marathon of giving birth you are about to partake in? I am sure you would like it to go as well as possible. It’s like with anything in life, if we want the best out of it, we can’t always just wing it and hope everything will be ok. Of course, giving birth is a natural experience, but preparing our bodies and minds is imperative to setting our intentions and using our own knowledge and the knowledge of others to give us an even bigger chance of getting the birth we dream of. And the sooner we start this preparation the better.

The Ultimate Birth Prep Programme for Black Queens is jam packed with essential tips and nuggets of knowledge to put you in the best position to achieve this fabulous birth. As Black women it is so important that we know our rights, and know what we should be expecting so we can turn up empowered ready to birth our beautiful babies. We are often stepping into the unknown when it comes to giving birth and this fabulous programme will help to pull out that positive mindset and steadfast confidence that you need. Anxiety can be all encompassing and this programme will help you to navigate your anxieties or manage/reduce them. Skills for life, right?

This is an ongoing programme that offers support and easy to absorb pregnancy and birth information. No need to complete it all in a rush, the earlier you start the more time you have to pick up and leave where you left off and even revisit bits you want to read again.

You will be in a community of other supportive Black mamas who understand you and cheer you on. A true virtual hug when you need it.

You do not need to wing it, you can step into this like the queen you are knowing you are showing up prepared and you will find information in there to ensure your birth partner is prepared also.

I ask again, is there anything more important than this marathon journey to birth?
