Latest updates
Playing after Kanga is fun! Today we explored a rolled up yoga mat while out mums were having a chat.
A few chats over the last couple of weeks have centred around our need to follow our instincts when parenting, nurturing our little ones and helping them grew into secure, happy babies. It has been amazing to hear how each of you do this your own way, while supporting and finding support amongst each other.
Isn’t there something amazing in hearing some one else say yes, we do/feel the same? Of course we don’t all follow the same path, but we can still support and encourage each other to find our way forward in a society that does not always give as much as new mums need.
Join us at Kangatraining to help build your network, we are so much more than just exercise (though that bit is amazing too). Just pop through a message for more info 💕

“To the only parent,
This is a journey you chose to do by yourself but it doesn’t mean you don’t have people that can help you if you need. They are waiting in the wings to be asked.
It’s overwhelming at times having to worry about all the household chores & finances & not having anyone to discuss it with but never forget why you did it. Your lil human is amazing! Just like you. ❤😘❤”

Today all around the world there are Mums spending this Mother's Day in different situations. We are thinking of you you. You are not alone. 💕
“To the Mum who isn’t a Mum...
Who dreams of baby bumps, and tiny toes?
Who is consumed with the love of a tiny life she is struggling to create?
Who grieves the loss of a hope for her desperately wanted baby every month?
Who lives in a world of bitterness, jealousy and heartache? Oh the heartache! It comes from your very soul and threatens to take over at any given moment. But there’s also a hope, a hope that is so blindingly strong. A hope that keeps you going and fills every inch of your existence. Without it you know you would crumble.
I see you skipping the baby showers.
I see you change subject whenever someone gushes about their new bundle of joy.
I see the way you look longingly at every baby bump, pram and baby carrier you see.
I see the way you dread family occasions. When people’s prying questions about when you’re finally going to have a bouncing bub feels like you’ve been punched in the gut, I see that too.
I know how much this day hurts you. When you long to be the Mum you were born to be but nature sometimes isn’t all that kind. I know life is probably full of tablets, needles and appointments. Maybe you’re even recovering from another surgery or uncomfortable procedure. Another cycle of meds, another cycle of IVF. I know you’re probably an expert on it all by now.
As each Mother’s Day passes you by your heart aches a little more. And you wonder why, why you? What could you have done differently? Is it your fault? Is it because regardless of how much you yearn to be a mum, maybe you wouldn’t be a good one? Maybe you don’t deserve to feel that joy of seeing those 2 little pink lines show up.
I want to say that everything will be ok. That one day you will have your miracle and your house will be filled with the sound of tiny feet and giggles. But I know that I can’t promise you that.
What I can promise you is that you are so incredibly loved just the way you are. You ARE enough. Your fertility status does not define you. But most of all you are not alone.
I see you, I feel you, I was you." 💞

“Dear IVF mum,
IVF is one of the biggest rollercoasters you will ever go on.
Regardless of if you are doing this solo or have the most supportive partner, you will feel super high emotions as well as rock bottom lows.
The reasons behind you needing IVF could be so different from the woman sitting next to you in that waiting room, but she feels that same rollercoaster you do.
She feels those ‘normal’ emotions of IVF as well as the extreme emotions thanks to the IVF meds.
She feels those bruises, scars, constant bloating and that need to shield it all from your loved ones and random strangers because you wonder if it will be too much to handle, having them know and watching you constantly.
She feels that same dread when the doctor tells you there’s no guarantees and gives you your percentage of hope.
She feels that same worry that you’ve injected at the wrong time, place or dose and the worry that you’ll stuff it all up and have to wait for the next cycle.
She feels that same excitement or disappointment when you wake up from your anesthetic and receive your number of ‘good’ eggs after retrieval surgery.
She feels that same dragging of time between each step involved in IVF but especially those last two. The one before transfer when you’re waiting to know if you have a healthy embryo ready and the one waiting for your blood results to know if it worked.
Something else she feels though is a strength and courage that keeps her moving through every stage just like you.
The same courage that made you reach out to your doctor and begin IVF and then administer your own medications on time and correctly dosed with or without having a medical background.
The same strength that keeps you moving through each and every emotionally, financially and physically draining test, ultrasound, doctor appointment, counselling session, surgery, transfer and wait for blood results with hope.
The same strength it takes to pick yourself up and do it again and again.
The same courage it takes to put on a smile and continue on with life, when it’s really pulling you in every direction.
You are this same strength and courage.
You matter today, because you have the strength and courage to fight so hard in this IVF rollercoaster no matter the cost.
I know, because I am an IVF mum too.
I am this woman and I am also that same strength and courage you are.
I feel you today.
I feel you every day.
Allow yourself to feel every emotion you need to but know you have that strength and courage inside you to stand up.
You are strong
You are courageous
You are understood
You are loved
Love from another IVF mumma”

"Dear Mum living with postnatal depression,
I see you, at home day after day with your baby. Watching the clock for your partner to come home. Wishing you could run away and wanting so desperately for the crying to stop.
I see you, wondering when you will feel that love that’s described by all the other Mums for your baby. Feeling dread every time they need a feed - feeling like they are crying to make you tired and angry on purpose.
I see you, feeling like you have failed your baby. That they deserve so much more than you can give them. That they would be better off without you.
I see you, because I am you.
Please Mama, be kind to yourself, nurture yourself - your mind and your new body. You have postnatal depression but it does not define you.
You are a good Mother.
You are loved and you are enough." 💞
