Pregnancy to Parenthood

Day 4 of our Infant First Aid series 🚨

A clear airway is essential for breathing, but would you know what to do if you suspected it was blocked?

These questions are designed to get you thinking - not to test you.

These are all important skills that every parent, grandparent and carer should understand before they’re faced with an emergency.

💬 Which of today’s questions made you stop and think? Let me know in the comments.

Join me tomorrow as we continue through the DRSABCD Action Plan.

Our mother’s group is back today, and there’s a cushion with your name on it!

No matter where you are in your parenthood journey, or how many children you have, you are welcome here 💜

We have 3 amazing special guests this term that you don’t want to miss.

Only 1️⃣ week left to register.

Comment JOIN and I’ll send you the details.

Day 3 of our Infant First Aid series 🚨

In an emergency, knowing when and how to call for help is just as important as knowing first aid.

If you needed to call 000 today, would you know:
☎️ Which service to ask for?
📍 The exact address of your home or current location?
📱 What information the operator might ask you?

One simple thing you can do today is download the Emergency+ app. It can help emergency services locate you more quickly by providing your GPS coordinates and other useful location information.

💬 Do you already have the Emergency+ app on your phone? Let me know in the comments!

Come back tomorrow as we continue through the DRSABCD Action Plan.

Tomorrow is the day 💜 Term 3 is here!

9:30am kicks off our Kangatraining class 💃🏼
Join us for an hour of safe, fun postnatal fitness with your baby 👶🏼
This class helps rebuild your core and pelvic floor, improves your strength and gets those feel good endorphins flowing 💛

Followed by our Keeping Mum mothers group at 10:45am. Enjoy morning tea and barista made coffee with a group of welcoming mums in a relaxed and judgement free environment.

Whether you’re a first time mum or a fifth time mum, there’s a place for you here. We can’t wait to welcome you.

Day 2 of our Infant First Aid series 🚨

Before you can help someone, you need to know if they’re responsive.

Would you know how to check if a baby or child is conscious and responding to you?

It’s a simple step, but one that helps you decide what to do next.

💬 Have you ever completed an Infant First Aid course? Let me know in the comments!

Come back tomorrow as we continue through the DRSABCD Action Plan with the next letter.

Every parent hopes they’ll never need first aid - but knowing what to do can make all the difference.

Over the next week, I’ll be taking you through DRSABCD using one letter each day.

Rather than giving you all the answers, I want to ask you some important questions. My hope is that they’ll get you thinking about what you already know… and what you might need to learn.

Today’s focus is D – Danger.

Before you help someone, it’s important to make sure the area is safe for both the casualty and yourself.

💬 What are some dangers around your home that could lead to an emergency?

Drop one in the comments and come back tomorrow for the next letter in the DRSABCD action plan.

This week marks Birth Trauma Awareness Week (BTAW) and is held in July each year.

The theme for 2026 is "The Cost of Birth Trauma"

The arrival of a baby is a positive event for many parents. But for some, it can be a mixed experience or even traumatic.

Birth-related trauma can be physical or psychological, or a combination of both.

It took me a long time to be able to talk about both of my traumatic births without crying every time. There are still moments when the tears come, but they are less frequent now.

My birth cost me...
• My mental health
• My strength
• My confidence
• My trust in my body
• My sense of safety
• Precious moments in those early days of motherhood

If you feel comfortable sharing, what did birth trauma cost you?

Your experience matters, your voice matters, and your story may help someone else feel less alone 💛
