Motherhood is a series of firsts.
Your first scan.Your first kicks.Your first contraction.Your first cuddle.Your first sleepless night.Your first “I’ve got this”… followed quickly by “What am I doing?”
Every stage asks something new of you.
And in a world that moves fast, it’s easy to live one step ahead — wondering what’s next, worrying if you’re doing enough, bracing for the unknown.
But there is so much power in pausing.
In noticing where you are right now.
Whether you’re pregnant, holding a newborn, or finding your feet in early motherhood, this moment matters. You matter. And the way you feel in this season matters.
That’s why in my Antenatal Classes in Auckland, I don’t just teach the mechanics of birth.
I teach you how to feel steady inside it.
How to stay grounded when things feel big.How to trust your body.How to meet each stage with calm instead of fear.
Because being present is a skill.
And like any skill, it can be learned.
It looks like pausing your breath.Softening your shoulders.Letting today be enough.
As a mum myself, I know how quickly it all moves. My youngest turns nine this week, and I still don’t quite know how the years passed so fast. There were seasons of chaos, tenderness, exhaustion, and joy — and none of them looked Instagram-perfect.
They were real. And they were mine.
Motherhood isn’t about getting it “right.”It’s about showing up with kindness for yourself.
In my antenatal classes in Auckland, I help mums-to-be prepare not just for birth, but for the emotional reality of becoming a mother. I want you to feel ready — not because you know everything, but because you trust yourself.
So today, take a moment.
Breathe in what is. Exhale what you can’t control.And remind yourself: you are already becoming the mother your baby needs.
You’ve got this, sister.
