During pregnancy the mother develops with the baby, during birth the mother is also born. Both mother and baby are fresh beings figuring out their new life. It's important that while the mother nurtures her baby that she too is nurtured. Massage is a wonderful way to do that. It helps to balance the hormones, brings calm and focus to the mind and has been scientifically proven to reduce instances of postnatal depression. If you're in the London and Surrey areas in the UK, we'd love to see you. Book yourself in online www.mumanu.co.uk for a specialist postnatal massage in the comfort of your own home

Really useful resource

We sell gift vouchers for all the partners who would like to give the mother of their children some head space and me time www.mumanu.co.uk

Bum first or head first... with skilled support, both seem to be safe options for home birth according to tgis obstetrician's study of 50 breech births compared to head down births. Women should most certainly be given the choice

As tough as it is to be someone's everything, it's also very understandable... it's important that you get loads of support for yourself during those first few weeks / months as you give so much to your new baby.

Wow!

We're all different... but one thing is true.... the pelvic outlet is not fixed in birth. Certain positions will increase or decrease the space a baby has to rotate and birth themselves.

What was your partner like at your birth(s)?

Have you had a Mumanu massage yet? www.mumanu.co.uk

I've had a couple of massage clients with hyperemesis recently with unsupportive partners. One was annoyed she left the bathroom door open whilst vomiting and the other said it was all in her head. You can imagine how upset I was on their part! It is real, it is awful... women need all the reassurance and support they can get. I find it amazing how babies keep growing and come out healthy despite living on white bread for months!

I think I just ovulated! 💖

How many times is normal for you?

The key to antenatal education is to empower you and give you confidence that your body knows how to do this. The rest of education is finding out how to avoid disturbing the process. That's why I love the BirthWorks classes so much. I'm the only BirthWorks educator in Europe. Check out my private antenatal class page for more details

"A mild fever is anything from about 37.5C to about 38C - so infant paracetamol shouldn't be used to treat a mild fever alone. Parents should consider using the drug only if there are other symptoms of illness also present. If a child can seem well but has a slight temperature, avoid giving him or her infant paracetamol."

There's no need to rush cutting the cord, whether baby is born vaginally or by cesaerean.

Blimey... she sounds awesome. I want one of these births please! I was at a wonderful homebirth a few years back where the mum was singing "ahhhh" as a pure note. It was so beautiful and massively helpful to her.

Wonderful! A real treat, highly recommend! Feeling relaxed

Such a convenient service, Sam is an excellent masseuse and is so knowledgeable. She really made me feel relaxed. She's a pleasure to deal with.

Sam provided a wonderful all round experience - from a nice chat and gentle information and tips for me as a new mum to one of the best msssages I've been lucky enough to enjoy. I would highly recommend a booking!

Sam is amazing - both her massage and her caring way with her clients. I feel so at ease, like i am visiting a friend. Even though I'm not pregnant anymore, I still go to her for general massage to sooth those aches & pains that motherhood brings!

Pure bliss, feeling so good and relaxed afterwards. Thanks so much!!!

One of the best massages I've ever had- pregnant or not.

My Mumanu experience was wonderful! Sam listened and carried out exactly what I wanted allowing me to relax and unwind! Definitely going to make it part of my monthly self care practise!

Most wonderful pregnancy massage yet and I have booked in some more before due date! Sam is incredibly knowledgable about all things pre and post natal and her massage technique is truly restorative, holistic and relaxing whilst being extremely effective on all my aches and pains. I hadn't been that comfortable in weeks, she gets you into the perfect position and I have now learnt that the old pregnancy pillow I was using was pretty useless. She has shown me exactly the right position for sleeping and I am now looking forward to going to bed rather than dreading it!

Most amazing pregnancy massage with Mumanu. Second time with Sam and once again it was total bliss. Can not wait to book another!

More than just a massage, each session with Sam has been restorative. The time spent discussing how I've been getting on (with the pregnancy or baby) means I could get on the table with a clear head and make the most of the massage itself. I had a couple of pregnancy massages and then one (so far!) post natal massage following a really difficult labour. She has been a more consistent party in my 'journey' than any midwife I've had and has been a great support. Highly recommended!

Incredible massage and just what my tired pregnant body needed. Very highly recommended!

I just had Indre visit me at my home for a pregnancy massage. I'm 33 weeks and was in desperate need of some relief. She was so professional and gave me lots of good advice. She used the exact pressure i asked for and surrounded me with lovely pillows to align my body. First time i have fallen asleep during massage in a long time! Can't recommend mumanu enough! Thank you! X

I had my pregnancy massage yesterday with Holly and it was truly amazing, she managed to easy all my aches and pains. I have finally had a good night's sleep and have woken up feeling amazing which hasn't happened in a long time. She managed to make me feel so relaxed from the start when I was originally nervous. Will definitely be booking more before due date and will be recommending to my pregnant friends! � Thank you so much Holly!

I had a very relaxing time, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is pregnant. Just wish I had found out about it before now.

I had a massage with Sam, which was truly magical - i felt like i was floating for the rest of the weekend. I like firm pressure and she delivered, not something many will do for you in pregnancy which is a shame as it's exactly what you need! And thanks to her advice I've also been sleeping much better. Hoping to squeeze another massage in before baby arrives. Many thanks Sam! x

I had Sam and she was brilliant. Made me very relaxed (to the point I nearly fell asleep) gave me some sleeping position advice . Highly recommended her xx

Best massage I've ever had. Should have booked it earlier but suffered in pain for a few months. Haven't had a twinge since. Sam really knows what she is doing.

Amazing!!! I was a bit sceptical about the whole pregnancy massage as I've heard different stories from other places, but after visiting Mumanu, I felt amazing and so relaxed afterwards. I'm 37 weeks pregnant and have sore hips/back/shoulders. Sam was fantastic, gave me lots of advice to take home and I was well ready for a sleep once the massage was finished. I could have stayed there all day.

I felt like a different person. Highly recommend.
