Alana shares her postpartum journey with us today. She is a mother to one daughter who is two years old and is now a Yoga and Pilates Instructor, a Women’s Circle Facilitator and hosts a monthly mothers group meet up in Singleton.
Alana’s postpartum experience involved a lot of anxiety and isolation, largely due to the
challenges she faced around exclusively pumping for her daughter for 6 months due to Vasospasm and her struggles to breastfeed.
She talks through her experience of going to her first mothers group and how it change her experience of motherhood, even though she has some reservations to begin with. She reminds us to be gentle on ourselves through this transition and share a few tips to support new mums.
