How is everyone going with their new year resolutions? "Here’s the thing – achievement doesn’t always equate with success, and successfully achieving a goal doesn’t always make us happy. Successful resolutions should be uplifting. They should represent a change that ultimately make you feel positive." . .

For me, being able to listen to my baby's heartbeat on occasion gave me peace of mind. If you are searching for a fetal #doppler or #baby #heart monitor that you can use at home, I looked  at a few that were on the market. . I came across the Sonotech Xpress LCD Fetal Doppler . It usually retails between AUD$90-100. Apart from being able to listen to the baby’s heartbeat, this heart monitor also has a visual output screen, showing the beats per minute (bpm).For me, it was worth the extra dollars to be able to hear as well as record my baby’s fluctuations in heart rate between appointments with my OBGYN. It comes with gel, 2 x sets of headphones (so both you and your partner can listen together!) and can also conveniently be connected to your computer for recording.

An open letter to endometriosis: "Dear Endometriosis, I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but I’ve reached a sort of acceptance of you, my Endometriosis. Yes, you; the very disease that has affected my career, my social life, my relationships, my self esteem. I certainly don’t welcome you, but I’ve come to see you as just part of my journey in this life. YOU'VE AFFECTED ME FOR A LONG TIME Yes, my endometriosis, you have been with me for a long time. I was 12 years old when you started to affect me. When I got my first period I didn’t know that it wasn’t normal to lose so much blood.  I would fill a pad (and I mean FILL) every 2 hours. I spent many days each month home from school, staring at the wall or ceiling and crying from pain. I remember vomiting from nausea and feeling so much pain through my abdomen and back. I was bedridden for days with you, with my tears and my prayers as company. You made me hate my body, Endometriosis. It didn’t feel fair, all this pain. I didn’t know why other people never complained about pain during their period. Why could they still play sport? Why didn’t they need days off? I wondered whether I was just weaker than them. You made me see my body as a vehicle of failure." . .

@Regrann from @dearbubblog - **GUEST BLOGGER** "I should feel proud of myself.  Why am I here judging my body? My body created this beautiful #baby, who I love and who means the world to me. So, here’s a shout out to all the beautiful superhero mommies out there! I know there are so many things we aren’t prepared for after giving #birth – our reaction to our own post-baby bodies being one of them. It can be difficult to adjust and accept at first, but please don’t let it get to you. Your body created a beautiful tiny human. Give it a high five, and give it your thanks. It worked hard for you, and it deserves break. Once your body is ready, you can work towards getting it back in shape. For now, just enjoy cuddling your perfect little creation." - Myria Achilleos LINK IN BIO: www.dearbub.com/womens-health/dont-judge-your-post-baby-body #dearbubblog #pregnancy #preggers #postnatal #pregnant #postbabybod #baby #babies #babygirl #babyboy #body #selflove #cuddles #blogger #guestblogger #babybump #mumlife #momlife #motherhood - #regrann

***GUEST BLOG - MISCARRAGE ***⠀⠀ "I understand that to a family physician, a miscarriage is a kind of non-event. I understand that it doesn’t make practical sense to get attached to an early pregnancy when the risk of pregnancy loss is so high, but by that logic it doesn’t make practical sense to get attached to a marriage either since more than half of them end badly.  And you would never say to a person going through a divorce, “these things happen for a reason”, “your marriage just wasn’t viable”, or “you can always remarry”.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ There are few instances in life when humans let their feelings override their practicality. More often than not, love is involved. Well, despite my better judgement, I loved my embryo.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ And despite all of the pain and sorrow it caused me, I hope to love the next one just as much."⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ---------⠀⠀ FULL ARTICLE ON THE BLOG:⠀⠀ buff.ly/2x9onDQ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ -------------⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ .⠀⠀ #dearbubblog #blogger #guestblog #guestblogger #blog #pregnancy #pregnant #loss #miscarriage #miscarriageawareness #fightthestigma #realstory #awareness #baby #love #motherhood #grief #embryo #waitingforrainbowbaby #rainbowmum #rainbowmom #angelmom #angelmum #angelbaby #angelbub #love

Have you ever tried cloth nappies? Here's what @naturalmumsandbubs say:⠀ #dearbubfinds⠀ ⠀ " I used to be super intimidated to use cloth nappies outside of the house.⠀ .⠀ I worried about leaks, running out of nappies and dealing with major poo explosions.⠀ .⠀ But we've moved to using cloth nappies full time now and it's actually not that scary or problematic. It's actually not that different to using disposables.⠀ .⠀ Finding a nappy that I know fits well and doesn't leak certainly made me feel confident to start using cloth while we're out (thank you @econaps).⠀ .⠀ I always pack more than I think I'll need - just like I did with disposables. And rather than taking a plastic bag to throw away dirty nappies, I take a large wet bag instead.⠀ .⠀ I'm thinking of filming a live video soon of some of my cloth nappy tips. Let me know if you'd be interested in this or if you have any questions."⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #clothnappies #modernclothnappy #econaps #ecofriendlybaby #ecoparenting #dailyparenting #modernmotherhood #motherhoodsimplified #motherhoodrising #igmums #ig_baby #shopsmallau #mumsofinstagram #ecofriendly #ecoliving #zerowaste #naturalmumsandbubs #gentleparenting #aussieflatlay #aussiemum #babyflatlay #mumswhostyle #mumssupportingmums

So true.

It's warming up in Sydney! Looking for a new maternity nightie? This Siena #maternity nightie from @mamaybebepjs is so stylish, it's hard to tell whether it's a nightie or a dress! You can feel your best at the hospital or at home when friends and family do an impromtu visit. Best of all, it's totally affordable! So, this black nightie is a no-brainer; it’s so easy to match with a light cardigan or a pair of ballet flats, and for me it hid those post-baby bulges that I felt slightly insecure about. It also has a dual pull back opening making it easy to nurse your #baby if you plan to #breastfeed. Highly recommended 👌💙 💙👌 --------- BUY at www.mamaybebe.com.au 🙌🙌🙌 ---------------- .
