Relaxations for a New Mother Audio

This audio collection has been produced to support you as a new mother. The changes in your life when your baby arrives are enormous.  It is said that, when a baby is born, a mother is born too.  After all the support you had during your pregnancy and birth you might feel tired and lonely when you are at home looking after your wonderful baby, and it can take a little while to get used to your new role and lifestyle. Take all the time you need to be with your baby.  Rest when your baby sleeps.  Accept any help that is offered.

Just as the antenatal relaxation audios helped you feel confident and positive when you were pregnant,  so this audio helps you achieve the same calmness and serenity when your baby is here with you.

This collection includes the following audios:

  • Introduction
  • Support for a New Mother
  • Statements for a New Mother
  • Now your Baby is Here
  • Relaxation for a New Mother Sleep

At the end they are all put together in case you would prefer to listen to them continuously.

Pregnancy Charity Giveaway

We are excited to share details of our 2020 Christmas Charity Giveaway!  

Kicks Count Charity 

This Christmas we are highlighting the Kicks Count charity.  The team at Kicks Count do an amazing job of highlighting the importance of monitoring your baby’s movements.  Movements are a key sign of a baby’s wellbeing and Kicks Count is the UK’s leading awareness campaign. Through education and awareness, they empower mums-to-be with knowledge about movements and give them the confidence to call their Maternity Unit if something doesn’t feel quite right. While Covid-19 continues to bring restrictions, encouraging mums to monitor their baby’s movements, trust their instincts and contact their maternity unit if things just don’t feel right, is more important than ever.

At KGH we know that when women have the right support and knowledge during pregnancy, they feel more empowered to have a positive birth.  Approaching the birth of their baby feeling confident and relaxed is hugely beneficial for the wellbeing of both mum and baby.  Knowing when to ask more questions and knowing how to access this support is a key area to our KGH course.  Alongside charities like Kicks Count, we aim to ensure woman approach birth with the knowledge and support they all deserve.  This is what drives us at KGH, and why we are keen to support charities like Kicks Count in the valuable work they do. 

We are sending them 10 of our KGH Complete Birth Bundles.  Each bundle includes:

We have lots of goodies to share with pregnancy and birth support charities.  If you have a favourite charity who would benefit from our support in the future, please contact us with their details.

International Day of the Midwife

Today is International Day of the Midwife. We have always acknowledged the amazing work midwives do to help the birthing person and all the babies that arrive in the world – but particularly the last year. And what a year they have had!

Many parents I have taught during the Covid-19 pandemic have expressed fears directly related to the situation we are living right now. We can teach parents how to prepare for birth and how to remain in control of their situation, but the midwives they birth with really have helped to give them the best experience they can, despite of any restrictions thrown upon them. We can not thank them enough for what they have done and coped with.

Regardless of Covid, in the UK, our midwives know how to support normality, how to recognise if a labour is veering from the normal path, and how to get it back on track.  The knowledge of our midwives is superb, including dealing with unusual situations and knowing when it is appropriate to call in an obstetrician.

All pregnant women and their partners need to really appreciate how lucky we are to have midwifery care in this country, and a strong autonomous midwifery profession.  If you are ever called upon to do or say anything in support of midwives – do it!

Thank you to all the midwives not just in the UK, but around the world!

If you are a midwife or birth worker yourself, we have created some free relaxations called Caring for the Carer, specifically for you to use in stressful situations. You can find these here and we hope you find these beneficial.
