Many of us are very hard on ourselves. We have high expectations and are self critical. We work too hard or feel bad if we don't work enough. We think too much about the past and way too much about the future and over analyse life, it's exhausting! Oh and we don't get enough sleep!

It is important to acknowledge that a pregnant body is a strong body, it is doing remarkable work and doesn’t need to be wrapped up in cotton wool. But it is also important to be aware that it is a special and different time for the human body and therefore it is essential to get the right care and advice to best help you throughout pregnancy and/or recovery postpartum.
