The Wisdom Of Baby Steps
Posted by: | CommentsAs a result of pelvic pain when walking (which began shortly after I became pregnant), I decided to seek the advice of a physiotherapist.
One of her recommendations was to take smaller steps and walk using my whole body.
So now I am walking again without pain. My pace is slower at the moment as I retrain my brain, develop new neural pathways around walking and allow more muscles to support me.
During this process, it came to me that I need to take baby steps in all areas of my life now – not just when walking.
So I took this message from my body and started taking baby steps in other areas too. I noticed that as I do this, it seems that I am summoning forth support from other avenues (other muscles) that I didn’t even consider before.
And as I trust more that baby steps are guidance from my deep wisdom, I relax and grow in confidence thereby attracting more experiences that illicit these feelings.
Perhaps you have pain or discomfort in your precious body.
What might it be telling you? And how can you take on board this amazing guidance today so that you can attract more of what you want in fertility, pregnancy, birth and beyond with your baby?

Sex During Pregnancy- How Baby Can Benefit
Posted by: | CommentsYour baby’s sexual development begins during pregnancy.
I am referring not only to the actual physical development of organs that determine sex but also to the beliefs and experience around sex to which she is exposed in the womb
Armed with this knowledge you can set your baby on the path to an empowering, positive experience of her sexuality and a very healthy attitude towards sex.
For example, let her know when you are pleasuring yourself or making love ….reminding her that we were given wonderful bodies to enjoy ourselves and each other.
Bring her attention to how good it feels to be with somebody with whom you share a mutual love and respect. Model to her the joy of receiving love and enjoying your body.
When a request is made by either of you in love-making, bring that too to her attention, letting her know that it is always ok to ask for what you want.
If you or your partner are not in the mood, honour that by expressing it… thereby demonstrating to your baby that it issafe to communicate your feelings -that you are not responsible for meeting the needs of your partner (or visa versa).
Before orgasm, prepare your baby. Tell her that she will feel contractions in the womb but that it is not yet time to be born. Suggest to her that she enjoy the sensations and the feelings of love.
These comments will support your baby in being comfortable in her own sexuality and expression of same. It will also prepare you both for very healthy conversations about sexuality when she is older.
Sex is beautiful. It is how we all we began.
Shame and guilt do not belong in our sexuality and we can begin now to ensure that our babies are born feeling a sense of wholeness, joy and self-respect around their bodies and their sexuality.
In joy,
