In spite of the fact that each of us comes from a very long line of successful pregnancies, many couples today are finding it difficult to conceive or enjoy a pregnancy until the safe birth or their baby.Indeed, according to Hart (2003) in the British Medical Journal, up to 25% of patients who present for investigation in a reproductive medicine clinic are diagnosed with unexplained fertility. He explains that unexplained infertility is a diagnosis of exclusion. When no other reason for not being able to become pregnant or stay pregnant can be found, unexplained infertility is the diagnosis one receives.Webster’s dictionary defines ‘Unexplained’ as (1) not explained or (2) having the reason or cause not made clear. So a diagnosis of unexplained infertility just means Read the rest of this entry »

Today is International Passion Day!!!

We can easily find ourselves just going through the motions or challenges of fertility, pregnancy, birth and parenting. Sometimes it seems like all we meet are bumps on the road.

But we are here for much more than that.

We were born to be joyful and exuberant as we journey through this life.

Often we are afraid to aim for what we truly want because we don’t feel worthy enough, competent enough or deserving enough.

But your passion for creating new life, enjoying a magical birth experience, thriving in motherhood, sacred family life, and enjoying loving, happy relationship is the pulse of the universe expressing itself through you.

What you love and God’s will for you are the same (Janet Bray Attwood and Christ Attwood).

Hand in hand with every desire we have comes the ability to realise it. We can only ever really want for what is possible.

A newborn does not desire to walk. A 3 month old has no interest in speaking. Their passions lie perfectly in the range of possibility in relation to their abilities, skills and vibration.

The same applies to you.

So whatever you are passionate about, know that having the passion is a sign that you are ready to create that reality and take steps to realise your dream NOW.

I mentioned before that myself and Life Mastery Guide Joanne Roibu are putting together audio programmes for success in Pregnancy, Birth and Breastfeeding with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Click here to read that blogpost.

Some of you will be familiar with EFT which is a marvellous tool that helps to release blocks to physical, mental and emotional well-being by tapping on certain energy points in the body (linked to different meridians as identified in Chinese medicine).

Well, Joanne will also be running an 8 week EFT teleseminar series ‘Removing Blocks To Success With EFT’ in which she will skillfully guide participants through different success related themes to clear out blocks (conscious or otherwise) you may have to success.

Joanne will be hosting a blog talk radio show and providing a demonstration on air to give you some insight into how powerful this technique is particularly when guided by an excellent coach. I will be the guinea pig!

Regardless of what kind of success you seek..from fertility to financial freedom, this show is worth tuning into. Listen in live this Saturday 6th of September at 1pm Eastern Time or 7pm Central European Time or tune in later.

Partners and children (even babies) can benefit too.  

Click here for the link to the show.

See you on the show!

Our last scan about two months ago revealed the twins positioned beautifully for the lovely birth I have told them about.

I have been explaining to the babies that certain positions are ‘easier and safer’ for birth than others and inviting them to enter into the world with their heads and faces down.

So when I saw that the first baby was low down and in that very position and the second set to follow my first reaction was ‘great…we are on track’.

However, on reflection, I did not like the idea of my babies feeling they have to stay in this position for several months just because I have a belief that this is the safest option.

I am aware from my studies also that the ‘first born’ (or child who represents the first born) often takes on responsibility for others, does what is expected and behaves the ‘good’ child. And being the first born of first borns, I do not want either of my babies to fall into this pattern.

I want my babies to feel free to enjoy fully babyhood and childhood.

So I started telling them both that here and now is the most precious moment…that this time will never again return for them and that I want them to enjoy fully their time in the womb. I also began to change my belief to ‘regardless of presentation we will enjoy a safe, gentle birth’.

From a Law of Attraction perspective this is the truth. It does require letting go, trusting and handing over to the power of the universe.

Within a week or so I felt a big shift in my belly as the baby in the lower position rotated completely.

That felt great. I want every moment of our journey together to be full of possibility and joy rather than fear of what might happen.

I am still visualising a safe, gentle, magical birth but I am partnering with Spirit/the Universe and I know that as I relax fully and delight in my babies I am attracting that.

In joy,

It is good to be reminded that you never alone in your parenting regardless of what stage you are at (even before conception).

That is why we focus on parenting with Spirit (God/ Universe or whatever fits for you) in my coaching.

I received this lovely reminder from Renee in my email and thought you might like to see it!

‘This is God.  

Today I will be handling All of your problems for you.  

I do Not need your help.  So, have a nice day.  I love you. 

P.S.  And, remember…  If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself!  Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME.  All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

 Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it.  Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
 Now, you have a nice day.
                           God

So what are you going to put in the box now? And what is the first thing that will go on your list?

In joy,

Deirdre Morris

Breathlessness (or shallow breathing) when you are pregnant is very common.

Hormones expand capillaries in the respiratory tract and relax muscles in the lungs. In addition, as the months go by in your pregnancy, your expanding uterus pushes up against your diaphragm preventing your lungs from expanding fully.

Knowing this one might assume that breathlessness in pregnancy is par for the course.

However, regardless of what is happening in your abdomen, lungs or with your hormones….the truth is that your vibration (the message your are sending out to the universe) in each moment is what matters most. Read the rest of this entry »

On Tuesday last, we had a special Blog Talk Radio show focusing on how to use Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to release blocks to success in Breastfeeding.

Emotional Freedom Technique is an amazing tool with its origins in Chinese Medicine. Similar to Acupuncture but without the needles, Emotional Freedom Techniques helps you to release blocks (which include tension, anxiety etc.) in your body so that energy can flow freely again.

By tapping with your fingers on certain points on the body (linked to various meridians) you can release tension around issues that are coming up for you.

My colleague and Goal Setting Expert Joanne Roibu  and myself are currently putting together an audio programme applying Emotional Freedom Technique to Pregnancy so that you can experience Joy in Pregnancy.

Joanne kindly agreed to join us as a guest on our Breastfeeding Radio Show to explain to us about Emotional Freedom Technique. Co-host Maire Clements, author of ‘The New Motherly Art of Conscious Breastfeeding’, shared with us how she has used EFT in her practice on babies with great results.

Joanne then guided me (and the listeners) through a sample session of Emotional Freedom Technique live on the show.

Click here  to hear the show and learn more about EFT. You can also follow the guided session with me in order to support your breastfeeding.

Joanne and myself are putting together a programme for Breastfeeding mums and babies too. We would love to hear the concerns and issues you have experienced around breastfeeding so that we can include them so please let us know what they are! 

In joy,

As you have probably noticed, I have not made any posts since the turn of the month.

That is because I was bringing to completion my new e-book ‘Get Pregnant and Stay Pregnant with the Law of Attraction’ and everything else took a back seat.

I am delighted to report that it is finished and will be available for sale in about a month.

The book shares a step-by-step process to bring you into alignment with success in pregnancy and aims to serve women who have experienced fertility challenges as well as women who want to consciously conceive and bring a new soul into the world with ease and confidence. 

In joy,

Those of you who are pregnant or have been will know how it feels to suddenly find difficult some movements (like getting out of bed or sitting up) as the muscles in your abdomen relax due to changes in hormones.

My physiotherapist explained that in normal circumstances (when one is not pregnant), the muscles in your abdomen lead the way in many of your gross movements. So when you decide to stand up… your abdomen contracts first and then your legs and torso follow.

However, during and after pregnancy, this does not happen (they don’t perform their anticipatory function) with the result that movements can be laborious and even painful.

Tip: If you contract the muscles in your abdomen first and then move to sit/ stand up, it is so much easier.

Such a simple tip but it makes a big difference. Try it!
