Had or having a caesarean?

More babies in England are being born by caesarean section than ever before; the latest NHS data for 2023/24 shows that 42% of all deliveries were c-sections.

So, you'd hope that information on preparing and recovering would be accessible, wouldn't you? 

You might expect that there would be robust guidelines and consistent training for professionals supporting women through this major operation. 

Alas, my experience as a pre & post natal coach suggests unfortunately we are far, far away from that. The quality of care is very much luck of the draw. 

I wanted to share a couple of common misconceptions that I often hear from members of LWC and set the record straight.

As you might have seen in the news recently, Wes Streeting is dropping women's health targets from his new NHS plan. It makes me more committed than ever to giving my clients the support they need post-partum. 

The next Supermama Series begins on Monday 17th February - I'd love to welcome you, or a new mum in your life, to this expert programme. 

Sweaty hugs,
