It made me think about this possible result of motherhood

Laura O'Malley

'Having your personal stories and advice from the midwife. It made me think about this possible result of pregnancy/motherhood. It’s scary but I feel better for thinking about it now and not being taken by surprise if it does happen to me.'

Birth is just one day - motherhood is for life

When I was pregnant with my twins, I attended a popular local prenatal class.

While it offered a lot of useful information around birth, I felt disappointed that no one was answering the questions about life AFTER baby, that kept me up at night. (but was too scared to ask out loud)

Questions like:

  • Am I going to be a good mum?
  • Am I allowed to miss my old life?
  • How will my relationship with my partner change?
  • Is it normal to be resentful even if I’ve always wanted children?
  • What if I don’t have the maternal instincts everyone talks about?
  • Will I still be able to enjoy my hobbies after having a baby?

Most prenatal and antenatal classes focus heavily on birth and the practicalities of looking after a newborn, but they don’t prepare you for motherhood. They don't tell you how it actually feels to be a new mum.

They don’t explain how it changes you and your life, what feelings are normal (and why), or that you might grieve the old version of yourself. They don’t reassure you that this is a natural process. They don’t tell you that you might not fall in love with your baby right away, or that breastfeeding is a skill that needs to be taught. They don’t emphasise how important it is to have help and support, or how to reduce the risks of postnatal depression (and how PND actuallly feels).

And this subsequently leads to a lot of unnecessary struggle (and less quality time with our little one)

In HAPPY MOTHERHOOD JOURNEY course, you have a unique opportunity to explore the real-life experience of being a new mum. You will discover what most mums wish they had known earlier AND get the support that prepares you for the reality of motherhood, not just the theory.

Meet Ivana!

I am Ivana Poku, a mum of three boys (including twins), founder of Mumsjourney, an award-winning maternal mental health advocate, and author of Motherhood - The Unspoken. When I was pregnant with our twin boys, I thought I knew what to expect. I attended a lot of classes, read tons of books, asked questions... However, when the boys arrived, I felt like I knew nothing. I quickly understood how poorly my expectations and knowledge about life as a new mum were. Every day, I would experience something new that would leave me wondering: 'Why had no one told me about this?' This is the main reason I created this course. To ease your worries, and help you enjoy motherhood like you want & deserve while being the best mum for your little one(s).

FAQ

  • How is this course different from regular antenatal and prenatal classes?

    The antenatal classes provide a lot of valuable information on birth and how to look after a newborn. However, as even admitted by the NHS midwives themselves, most of them don't offer information about life AFTER the baby arrives, about the emotional changes that come with motherhood, or postnatal mental health. These are, however, crucial information for every new mum to know as they can make all the difference in the way new mums experience motherhood and even prevent them from/lower the risks of postnatal depression.

  • How do I know if this course is for me?

    If you are new mum, the course IS for you!

  • What if I am not happy with the course? Do I get a refund?

    I am sure you will LOVE the course and find it valuable, but if for some reason, you feel it didn't meet your expectations, you have 7 days from the day of purchase to request a refund.

  • Do you have any incentives if I refer a friend?

    Yes! You will receive 40% of the course price if you refer a friend. Email me at [email protected] for an affiliate link.
