Hello everyone!
My name is Kayleigh, I’m mum to two beautiful girls M & T.
M is 18 months and T is 12 weeks old. Life with 2 under 2 is exciting and challenging but I love it!
I’m a midwife when not on maternity leave (which has been the majority of the last 2 years) and I’m very passionate about women and their partners to have the correct information for motherhood. As it was quite a shock to my system (and I had done my research).
My aim is to offer a bespoke maternity experience to new parents.
I had quite a traumatic birth with M and this resulted in a spout of postnatal depression and ruined my maternity leave. Thankfully T has come along and provided me with a second chance with the both of them.
For the time that I spent at work between maternity leave I was working for the NHS on the postnatal ward and noticed where the maternity care is really lacking. I won’t scaremonger you or romanticize your birth. You need to know what to expect to help with your transition into motherhood. It is as much a physical change as a mental change. I hope to be able to offer you the support I wish I had had.
