Did you know that 70%-80% of our immune system is

Did you know that 70%-80% of our immune system is actually based in our digestive system 😯 and that the health of our gut and digestive system helps in determining how we feel, not just physically but mentally too. ⠀⠀
Combined with the summer holidays and the lockdown over the past few weeks, it’s easy to see how we can end up skipping the routines we’re used to doing, this heat 🥵 doesn’t help either.

So with less physical activity our digestive system can become sluggish. 😞 ⠀⠀
During pregnancy 🤰 our digestive system can back up even more. Combined with the added stresses and worry we have during pregnancy, there is the addition of those crappy hormones (they have so much to answer for 😡 ) which can cause the intestinal muscles to relax more and which, in turn slows the whole digestive process down.
One of my favourite ingredients to add to smoothies for easing digestion is Kale 🥬
Kale is made from fibrous material, and like most leafy greens, it's great for aiding in digestion and elimination of toxins. It’s also one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet and is loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C, plus it is one of the best sources of vitamin K ⠀⠀
If you’re struggling to keep your digestive system on an even keel try this smoothie out.
⠀⠀
Let me know how you get on.
⠀⠀
Lots of love xx 😚

HOW HOT ?🥵 How are you coping in this heat?

I know we always moan when the sun doesn’t shine and every year we’re promised that this will be the hottest summer ☀️ on record. We wait in excited anticipation, plan our holidays and camping trips in the UK in the hope that this year its going to be the HOT one and yet it never comes.

Well, it’s arrived – in bucket loads this summer and now I’m just a hot mess, I can’t sleep, I have chafing thighs and hair that quite literally has grown a mind of its own. AND I’M NOT EVEN PREGNANT!!!!

However, all joking aside, this heat can cause serious problems during pregnancy with the risk of dehydration being even greater.

If you’re working in an office, I appreciate you don’t want to get up constantly to go to the kitchen and get yourself a drink. Keep a 2 Litre bottle of water on your desk and sip throughout the day. I know some people, me included really struggle to drink plain water all day but thankfully there are other means of keeping up your fluids without guzzling water

🍵 HERBAL TEA- Herbal Teas, you can drink these hot or cold and if you like yours a little sweeter, add a slice of lemon. Cooled peppermint tea is incredible.

☕️ HOLD THE COFFEE -Caffeine is a diuretic which causes you to go to the toilet more which in turn in this heat can cause you to become dehydrated.

🍇 💦 FRUIT INFUSED WATER-Still struggle with the water; just add cordial or use a fruit infusion bottle to add flavour to your drink throughout the day. Fill it up first thing in the morning and sip all day long.

ICE LOLLIES -Try sucking on ice lollies throughout the day, you can always make your own just like we did as kids. Add sugar free cordial / squash or your fave smoothie to the lolly-pop moulds and stick in the freezer ready for the next day.

🍉 MELON- the best way to fill up and hydrate at the same time

Nothing evokes more emotion; whether that be joy,

Nothing evokes more emotion; whether that be joy, love, anger, guilt or disappointment than the subject of breastfeeding and because its World Breast Feeding Week I wanted to write a post on a subject that resonates so much with me and my path into motherhood.
⁣
For me the process of breastfeeding brought about all the above emotions, but mostly it generated an enormous amount of guilt and disappointment.
⁣
I am absolutely loving the supportive posts, and informative information on my feed this week!!! 💕 I wish so much that during my breast experience I’d have had access to this much info and the incredible support networks out there.
⁣
whilst we all know that "breast is best" the post up in my bio today is slightly different - what about the times when we're racked with the guilt that our idyllic perception of what life would be like with a new-born baby becomes just a crappy distant memory.
⁣
I want to shoutout to all the mums that are Breastfeeding, expressing, formula feeding and learning each day, to the mums making mistakes, rectifying those mistakes and doing the ABSOLUTE BEST they can with the situation that they’re in.
⁣
Sending happy positive vibes to you all.
⁣
Please share your experiences xx
⁣
Much love xx

✨WORLD BREASTFEEDING WEEK✨
⁣
It normally takes around three days for your milk to come in and your breasts will start to feel full, and if you’re anything like I was post birth, you’ll cry and then cry some more, then you’ll stop crying, I promise.

If you’re concerned about your milk supply speak with a professional before hand, remember every pregnancy and every woman is different. What might work and be okay for one may not be right for the mama next door.

If you have serious concerns about your milk supply once baby arrives or feel unsure about anything, please speak to your midwife, nurse, doctor or lactation consultant to get a professional opinion.
⁣
Please don’t struggle in silence.
⁣
Also remember these smoothies aren’t going to work in boosting that milk supply until you’re close to delivery and/ or in the days following birth but they will be great at boosting your energy during pregnancy and definitely will help you following the birth to keep your energy levels up, keep your digestive tract moving and to generally make you feel a little bit better, which can only be a win win.
⁣

The following are all amazing ingredients that can easily be added to your smoothies and that have been known to help in increasing your milk supply.
⁣
✔️ Oats
✔️ Blueberries
✔️ Flaxseed
✔️ Cashew Nuts
✔️ Spinach
✔️ Brewers Yeast ( After Pregnancy )

Have you tried any of these? How did you get on? Don’t forget to leave a comment with any foods that helped with milk supply production xx 😘
