I wheel this out every Easter😬Sorry if it puts you off your eggs😂Happy Easter🐣

**PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT**
Happy Easter everyone🐣🍫☀️

Today is my last day ‘in the office’ as other than teaching Birthing tomorrow I’m going to take some time off for the bank holiday☀️☀️
I’ve just had a quick look at bookings and there is only very limited spaces for the coming terms⬇️
I have wait lists now in place for all the Silverstone Baby Classes to give those currently attending priority over places. Re-booking will start after our next class on the 25th April (so you don’t need to anything now!!) and spare spaces relea...sed after this time. So if you are not currently attending Tinies, Wrigglers or Cruisers and would like to join the next term which starts on the 16th May, please pop me over an email or PM me.
As always click on the link to book;

It’s not every day you get to teach a Birthing class with the cutest little chicks cheeping away❤️❤️#daisyfoundationsouthnort hants #easter #chicks #toocute

In true Daisy style, this is so much more than a typical couples birth preparation workshop – we have combined elements of more traditional antenatal education with active birth principles, our own Daisy spin on preparing for labour and riding the waves of your labour with ease with our hugely effective breathing techniques (just have a read of the stories from Daisy Mums!). We bring together a range of techniques including movement, positions, breathing, relaxation, educatio...n, practical tips and massage, to support you through every stage of your labour.
What you can expect to learn at your workshop:
A combination of traditional antenatal education with active birth principles. Understanding of the physiology of labour, what makes it start and what can cause it to slow down. How you can work with your body and baby to ease through the stages of labour, adapting to labour as it progresses. A simple breathing technique for each stage of your labour that will make all the difference. Techniques for your birth partner to use to support you during labour. An easy to understand look at medical induction and interventions, should that be a chosen or necessary path. Make friends with local couples, supported by our online community.

I’m just back from another fab Birth Preparation Workshop. I absolutely love teaching them & seeing couples preparing together for their special day.

I honestly can not believe that way Meghan Markle is being treated at the moment regarding HER choices when it comes to having HER baby. And now she has been labelled a ‘birth brat’ for making informed decisions on how she wants to birth her baby. I mean how dare she think of herself in all of this? How dare she want to choose who supports her through labour? How dare she want a home birth, in a place that she can feel calm & relaxed? How dare she not want to be paraded in front of the worlds press only a few hours after giving birth?
Let’s just remember that behind all the celebrity she is just a first time mum planning for the arrival of her baby & wants it to be a positive experience. Is that really so wrong?
This article from The Positive Birth Movement says it all...

Great article about the first years of life...

I am so excited to announce that the Brackley Tinies class is moving venues to the fabulous Brackley Library. Many of you will already be attending the lovely classes offered there, so feels like a great fit for Daisy😊
Other than the venue everything else remains the same. Same day, same time and you will still be greeted with a hot cuppa and a tin of biscuits☕️🍪
This is effective from the 30th April. So everyone currently booked onto the April/May term will receive an email ...with the new details over the next few days.
There are only a few spots left on this course, so if you did want to join us click here;

I love, love, love reviews❤️not only do they make me do a little💃🏿💃🏿when I receive one but because they also help other parents decide if my classes are for them🤷‍♀️So I thought I’d share this wonderful one that I received yesterday from the lovely Gemma. She came to Daisy Birthing & Daisy Parent and was an absolute pleasure to support😊I can’t tell you how utterly grateful I am for you sharing your experience...thank you🥰#daisyfoundationsouthnorthants #daisybirthing #daisyparent #reviews #antenatal #birthprep #miltonkeynes #towcester #brackley #thankyou #smallbusiness

Why am I not on here??🤷‍♀️🙄Tag someone who is, so they can reserve their well deserved lie in!!

Get the tissues ready...this one is a tear jerker😢

Some mums want to be out and about doing lots of groups and classes. Some want to take it a little easier & that’s fine. We are all different and all just trying to do our best💜Being a mum is not a competition, it’s a time when we need support, solidarity & kindness.

A little bit of humour for those of you currently doing this at this very moment😂

When we talk dilation in class, everyone seems to do a little wince at the 10cm point, mainly because it’s so hard to visualise. Hopefully this post from The Village Midwife, LLC will help make you feel a little more comfortable and act as a great reminder of how amazing out bodies are😊
