Pregnancy Loss

I would like to start off by saying that I am so sorry for anyone who has experienced a pregnancy loss.


Pregnancy takes you on a journey through different stages month to month and even before seeing your baby, you start to sense and feel changes in your body as it works hard to nurture the babies development.
The bond develops even more once you see the baby move and wiggle and this is why a pregnancy loss is such a unique grief. You are mourning a loss of a bond that is directly merged from within.

I have experienced two losses and I understand how difficult it can all be. Here are some things that have helped me through my losses.
  • Practice Affirmations -  This can be helpful because we all know words hold a lot of power. Speaking and thinking with kindness, can be a healing emotional tool when you are going through hard times.
  • Connecting with nature -  Whether it is sitting with your indoor plants, spending time in your garden, visiting a park or venturing out for hikes, nature has a way of comforting and empowering us.
  • Being active -  whether it is doing a 5 a minute stretch to a full on workout, being active routinely helps us to exile sluggish energy and reminds us of our inner strength. 
  • Joining groups -  I have found digital groups helpful, supportive and informative. Reddit has been surprisingly helpful. 
  • To allow myself to cry -  I have learned to really allow myself to cry because it is a healthy way to be present with my emotions. 
  • Watching positive pregnancy after loss stories have also been helpful because it has given me some sense of comfort and hope.
  • Writing -  Journaling helps because when I cant bring myself to speak to others about my feelings, I can express my emotions freely on to paper. 
  • Being open to speaking to someone professionally -  This is something that I am now open too as I realise that grieving a loss will take time and I have come to accept that it will be a process. 
Ultimately be kind and patient with yourself, the healing will take as long as it needs to, please know you are not alone as there are face to face groups and digital groups that can provide support.

Treat Yourself To Some Time Alone

When I think about coziness, I think about being warm and comfortable. I picture myself centering into tranquility in the comfort of my home. I usually try and make Sunday my lazy day where I let go of any sense of guilt towards not being productive.  To me, it is simply my day to relax, slow down and refuel my energy. Don't get me wrong, I still potter around doing some light tidying or cooking, but it is all done with minimal stress. Setting The Ambience Creating a nice mood helps you feel a sense of harmony within your living environment and allows you to truly feel relaxed and be at ease at home. It is supposed to be your safe zone and the ultimate place to retreat from the outside world. This means you should be conscious about looking after your home so that you can work towards making your space as inviting and comfortable for yourself as possible. Time for You We often have multiple interactions with people daily, whether it is in person, on the phone, ...

Comforting Ambience

Comforting Ambience Creating an ambience at work and at home can be a simple way to uplift you and invite peace and comfort into your personal space. Having a serene work space is important for your productivity and mental well-being.   Flowers can be a simple and effective addition to creating a calm work environment. They can add colour and aroma to your surroundings and provide an often needed element of nature. If purchasing real flowers seem too costly, you have the option of buying beautiful synthetic replicates that look and feel like fresh flowers. Personally, my favourite tip is to make sure that your work environment is kept clean and tidy. Taking pride in sustaining a presentable work space helps with maintaining mental clarity and is a visual reflection of your professional standards. Creating an ambience at home promotes relaxation, peace, and balance, which in turn gives you a space yourself and others can enjoy...
