Pretty Pepper 😻☀️ Pepper is a sweet girl but I think she has a lot of anxiety. I think it’s the side effects of being a COVID kitten 😆 Anyone else experience this with their COVID pets? #cats #catsofinstagram #covidcat #covidbaby #kittens #calicocats #calico
T-MINUS 2 Days until I’m done with the B.S I just want to thank God for being my protector not only these past four years but these last few days because lord knows what I’ve been through. I’m blessed to still be standing here today and able to cross that stage. To Prairie View, thank you for showing me the HBCU culture and what it means to be an educated black queen. You’ve shown me how to overcome the toughest battles while continuing to stand tall in who I am. I’m thankful for all the connections and relationships I’ve made throughout my time here and will cherish them forever. To my family, thank you for being my pillars of support and believing in me when I doubted myself. Your encouragement, guidance, and sacrifices have paved the way for my success, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without each and every one of you. I promise to continue to make you guys proud as I embark on my next chapter. My time here may be up but I’m just getting started… #pvgradswag #pvamu #hbcugrad #covidbaby p
Here, is reason 2/2 on why I try to work so hard. This one is a firecracker. A covid baby. A second born. The James Coughlin to my Doug MacRay (The town) Everything they say about how the second born just being different, in a wild sense, is full facts with her!

We found out we were pregnant with my son January 2020. We had heard a little bit about Covid but had no idea what was to come. The anxiety I had with my sons pregnancy was a lot at times, and I’m sure what was going on in the world then didn’t help. How many of us were growing a little one while isolated and separated from friends and family during those quarantine months? If you feel comfortable sharing comment about your quarantine pregnancy experience. #pregnacy #anxiety #postpartumdepression #postpartumanxiety #newmom #covidbaby #relatablemoms #breastfeeding #breastfeedingmom #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #covid #pregnancyanxiety #pregnancydepression #bump #pregnant #breastmilkjewelry #keepsakejewelry
Happy 2nd Birthday to our hilarious, sassy, strong willed beautiful BIG girl! The one who showed me the way to a whole new me. I love you I love you I love you, forever grateful for you. . 🫶🏽 I struggled when Kalia was born. The first few weeks were so hard, physically, mentally, emotionally. I had never felt so lonely. Her birth was the start of this journey and without her I know I would not be who I am now. Children are so precious. They deserve our best selves. ✨❤️ . . . . #mummysgirl #birthstory #covidbaby #expatmum #irishabroad #irishinoz #birthstory #motherhoodjourney #strengthwithin #newbeginning #personalgrowth #motherdaughterbond #twoyearsold #gratitude #poetry

And, you’re 4…I can’t begin to tell you what this little boy means to me ❤️ you came to me, on that special VE Day 🎉 and stole my heart. Because of you there was a little more light. Sometimes I don’t like thinking about when you were born because we were early in lockdown and I missed my mum and dad. I’ll forever remember the faces at the window. And here you are now, 4 years later, trying to climb out of windows! Thanks for choosing me Henry!

Boop! There’s a new feature about lil’ ol’ me on @canvasrebel today.✨🌷 I talk a lot about my lifelong journey as an artist, as well as the experience of my first pregnancy and becoming a new mother during the deep unknowns of the pandemic— how my art helped me through a truly tender time— and ultimately led me to create m’girl, Wild Rosie. It’s vulnerable and real and I hope it’s an enjoyable read— I flung my heart into it! (I don’t think I know how to not fling my heart into things). 💖💖 It was healing to write and I hope it offers some healing out there to someone else too. 🫶🏻 If you know a person who gave birth or became a parent in 2020, give ‘em an extra snuggle once in a while. 🥰 . Happy new week, friends! 🌿🌷 . #wildrosiemaine #maine #madeinmaine #mainewoman #mainewomen #madebyawoman #makermama #mainemama #canvasrebel #canvasrebelmagazine #artistwoman #artistmother #mainemother #newmotherhood #pandemicmama #covidbaby #covidmama .
Start of the Birthday celebrations 🍾 ✨️ The big 4 is looming for my covid baby & I can't quite believe how quickly the time has flown. When you have kids, time seems to disappear quicker than ever.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 As #maternalmentalhealthweek draws to an end. Here’s a throw back to the photo I took just after I’d just given birth to JB and J had to leave us. In the midst of a pandemic. J was only allowed to be with us for 1 hour (most of which I spent throwing up) and then we were whisked away for 4 days without being able to see him. Yet, people were allowed to go to the pub. Those 4 days were tough on the three of us; JB had been denied time with his dad, J felt helpless as well as missing crucial bonding time with his son and I was poorly, delirious, a first time mum who really could’ve done with her husband by her side. Whilst the care we received at the hospital was brilliant it still doesn’t change those first few days. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but even once we were home we wern’t allowed that village, no one was even allowed to step foot inside the house in fear of ‘catching covid’ and ‘breaking gov rules’. Whilst this did mean we weren’t inundated with visitors, it meant we couldn’t have help from those close to us. My lowest time was when J had returned to work in school but everyone else was still in lockdown so everyone else’s partners were allowed to work from home and all baby classes were cancelled. It was winter and the days were dark, I honestly had never felt so lost and alone before. The only upside was that this time we were allowed 1 bubble so I did at least get to see my dad. I remember breaking down on my NCT girls zoom call. My friend messaged me straight away and just said “forget bubbles, you’re coming round” and it was honestly one of the first afternoons I’d enjoyed in what felt like forever. I loved being a mum but it felt so clouded back then. When the world did re open, I was excited but the anxiety was crazy. I had no idea how to mother IN THE REAL world, once again everything felt new and so scary. It took a long time but I kept talking and being honest about my PND and PNA and slowly we got the other side. 𝘊𝘖𝘕𝘛𝘐𝘕𝘜𝘌𝘋 𝘐𝘕 𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚

When I look at you and how much you've grown since I first held you in my arms, I feel so proud. It's not just the beauty in your face but your shining spirit that lights up my world. I really don't know where the time has gone or when yesterday became today! But each time I look at you, all that comes to mind is the joy that you are in my life. I look at these photos of Margot and see how precious she is and see how much she's grown. Someday, I'll be able to tell her that she was born in the height of a global pandemic and during lockdown. I'll be able to tell her how scared I was, how nervous I was, how I didn't know what was going to happen. I'll tell her about all the nurses and midwives with the lovely kind eyes and the masks. I'll tell her about the weeks of it being so quiet, food parcels being dropped off at the door, and how the days went so slow but so fast. Someday, her grandparents, aunties, uncle, and cousins will be able to tell her how they weren't able to come visit. They'll tell her how much they wanted to meet her and how much they love her and cared - all from a distance. All she'll remember is how much they loved her, and someday, Daddy and I will be able to tell her how we did all that to keep her safe. #april2020 #lockdownbaby #2020baby #borninlockdown #covidbaby #timeflies #toddler #daughter #daughterlove #mummysgirl #mamasgirl #soproud #loveyou #forevermygirl #4yearsold #4 # #babytotoddler #preschooler #growingup

Its almost Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week and all month we will be raising awareness for MMH! Maternal mental health disorders, AKA #perinatalmoodandanxietydisorders, like #postpartumdepression are the MOST common complications of childbirth and #maternalsuicide is one of the leading causes of maternal death. In fact, there are more new cases of #mothers suffering from maternal depression each year than women diagnosed with breast cancer! More than 600K women suffered from #MMH disorders in the US each year BEFORE COVID19 (rates are higher now) -- yet less than 15% of those diagnosed ever receive treatment. How can we as a community change these numbers? How can we prevent new cases and increase connection to care for the diagnosed cases? Swipe 👈🏿👈🏾👈🏻 for more information and help raise awareness for maternal mental health! 💟 Use the hashtags #MMHWeek2024 #StorytellingSavesLives and #MaternalMentalHealth on social media 💟 Tell your story to help raise awareness of maternal mental health issues so that more women will get treatment and fewer will suffer 💟 Come up with your own ideas to highlight that #maternalMHmatters in your area 💟 Stay tuned all month for highlights that maternal mental health is a global issue!
How did the extreme isolation during COVID-19 impact newborns? A recent study from the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology examined 351 babies born during COVID and compared them with pre-pandemic newborns. The results? ➡️ Only about 5% of the lockdown babies developed a food allergy at age one, compared to 22.8% in the pre-COVID group. This decrease may be due to fewer infections in the lockdown group, which reduced the need for antibiotics — only 17% needed an antibiotic by the age of one vs 80% of pre-pandemic infants. Antibiotics kill good bacteria and disrupt the gut microbiome.
We had our first baby in 2020 - I turned 44 a short time later that year. Our second in 2022. I was 45 soon to be 46. I would have had a third in 2024 but I don’t think my marriage would have survived it. So with two CoVid babies - a full time job for me and my spouse, this picture drawn by my amazing little almost 2 year old, sums up my feelings currently. Beautiful chaos. It’s actually from a really great App called @playpokpok from @curious_neuron. The Pod cast really helped me through some times as a new mom trying to figure it out - and still does. The App my kids love. I’m starting #somethingnew for me because I am always so surprised at how many moms deal with things on their own that are hard. I don’t want them to go it alone. There are so many great tools, pod casts, doctors, advisors etc. I want to share those and learn about more. Being a parent is definitely the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me - but it’s not always easy. If I can help just one person or share just one thing that makes one mom smile - my goal is accomplished. So let’s see where this goes :). #newmom #newmomlife #workingmom #toddlerlife #babies #covidbaby #covidbabies #covidbabiesbuiltdifferent

Yesterday was a really important day for me. It was maternal mental health awareness day. Someone recently told me, “You’re young, that’s why you’ve bounced back so easily.” I felt angry. He had no idea. I hadn’t shown anything to anyone at this point, all you could see was that I was approximately 43kg because I had forgotten to eat for about 18 months as things began to get emotionally unbearable, and I wore a smile on my face. From the outside, I knew I looked ok. I made it look that way. I decided to settle the matter more honestly because, in truth, I feel it’s something that others should be aware of when making assumptions about others, in this case, mothers. I told him my truth: “Honestly, I can’t say that I agree with you. I don’t feel like my age has been of any assistance. With the physical and emotional trauma I experienced throughout the pregnancy and birth…” He interrupted, “No, no. You don’t get it. I don’t care about those parts, they’re irrelevant. I just mean you’re doing fine and full of energy now because you’re young, not like us old ones.” Infuriated by this point, I quickly ended the conversation without saying all that I wanted to say. I felt defeated and unseen, and I knew that other mothers feel this way about their experiences, too. It has everything to do with it! The fatigue & the stress I was under from a high-risk pregnancy with multiples, one under 1 who I was still breastfeeding, & a young child at home. We lived through a 2nd confinement and homeschooling, work & a house move. All followed by the birthing experience & subsequent medical procedures. The postpartum period was a continuum of this. Attempting to breastfeed & caring for two babies, while having daily anticoagulation injections, leaving me bruised and in pain, and taking care of a toddler. Then, into summer holidays when Paul attempted to renovate the house & I fell apart downstairs. I had no energy left. I was completely depleted. I was depressed. My brain didn’t function like it used to. My body hurt, and within a couple of weeks of the above conversation, the doctors found an ovarian cyst. Age doesn’t change any of that! Where from here?

having my baby at the start of the pandemic was tough, esp with ocd/anxiety. thanks for the prompt, "newborn," @jasmine.s.higgins 💜 and pushing me to reflect on this time. these words are really close to my heart and I was hesitant to even share it here. hope it resonates with other moms/parents. 💜

April has always been my favourite month, and it's all because of you. The past four years have been nothing short of amazing as we have shared love and happiness, and I am eagerly looking forward to many more years with you. When I heard you say, "Mama, thank you for buying me a unicorn cake. I loved it," my heart melted with joy. You are a blessing in my life, and I thank God daily for your presence. You are a wonderful gift, and I love you so much! ♥️ #21april2020 #covidbaby #loveliveshere

I can't deal... How is my little covid baby off to school in Sept 🙈 #CovidBaby #Covid19 #StayingAtHome #Reception #StartingSchool
Ollie is 4. Isn’t it crazy that all the Covid babies are turning 4 this year? What a time that was + for me Ollie brought so much joy in a very uncertain time. While the outside world was in complete chaos we were at home snuggling a newborn surrounded by love. We didn’t have to worry about running around everywhere with a newborn instead we stayed home + connected as a family with a new member. It’s funny how much I wanted to have a 4th baby + then how he was born when we all needed him the most. Oliver Reed you have been so special since the day you were born + watching you grow has been one of the biggest blessings of our lives. Happy happy birthday Oliver! #thisisfour #fourandfabulous #covidbaby #toddlermodels #suchablessing #4 #birthdayboy #birthdaypictures
My Covid Baby can’t believe you will be 4 in June 🥹🫣 she’s definitely my mini me 🥰💚 #threenager #threenagerlife #covidbaby #2020baby #princessandthefrog #princess #princesstiana
How do I have a 4 year old in a matter of days? Why do they grow so fast? I will never forget giving birth for the first time during a global pandemic. Laboured on my own for hours while Oli waited outside in the carpark, Oli having to leave me once she was here, staying in overnight on my own, no visitors, no help or support, met family through the window and facetime, no midwife or health visitors. But even after all that, we did it and shes almost 4! #growingup #aprilbaby2020 #babyphotos #toddler #april2020 #lockdownbaby #borninlockdown #newborn #babytotoddler #daughter #daughterlove #covidbaby #lockdownbaby2020 #4thbirthday #four

Keep beating your drum. #donovan #sweetboy #mysidekick #covidbaby
✨ CESAREAN AWARENESS MONTH ✨ I didn’t know if I should post. It wasn’t planned. I never took any proud pictures of my scar when my baby was born. I thought I’d done everything ‘right’ to have a natural birth and without going into it too much (on this post anyway), that’s the way it had started in the birth pool. I stopped dilating when I was in the hospital and the midwife I had kept using the term ‘failure to progress’ Failure is NOT a word we should EVER use in the birth room. As powerful as we are in that moment about to birth human life we’re also at our most vulnerable and I took that word and ran with it. I felt I had failed. More so because of what I do, I felt people would see me as a fraud. What I did know was that he wasn’t coming out and it was the only way to deliver him safely and I clung to that idea for a long time, using it like a mantra. It was actually the most calm part of my birth and I’m thankful to the team who helped deliver my baby 🩵 C -section is not the easy way out. Most women are in hospital for 24 hours post surgery and then sent home. AFTER MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY. And with a new total dependent life to look after. Everyone has their story and that’s the beauty of birth. Having a cesarean can be empowering and I have treated a lot of women who have felt totally in control of their birth. It took a long time for me to feel ok about having a c section but I can now look at my scar and smile, feeling proud knowing I gave birth to beautiful life….picture taken at 3 days old✨ #csection #csectionawarenessmonth #cesareanawarenessmonth #cesareanbirth #covidbaby #cesareanwithoutfear #empoweringbirth

After years on hormonal birth control, I decided to stop taking my pill in 2018. My then fiancé and I had booked our wedding for the following year, and knew we wanted to start trying for a baby. A year later we were married and still waiting for our BFP so I booked an appt with my GP. Multiple tests and scans later confirmed I had PCOS, but Covid halted any further conversations re next steps. However, lockdown spent furloughed in the sunshine with nothing else to do meant in spring 2020 we finally got a positive pregnancy test, and our little boy followed in early 2021. Fast forward to 2023 when we decided we were ready to try for another, and here we are 8 months later still awaiting another a BFP 🤞🏼 #ttc #ttcjourney #ttcdiaries #journeytobaby #mystory #mystorysofar #pcos #pcosjourney #covidbaby #babynumbertwo #infertilityawareness #infertilityjourney #infertilitydiaries #infertilitysucks
Happy birthday my little Lucas! 4!! You are so silly, curious, fearless, love big, willing to talk to anyone about anything 😂, tough and the epitome of a little brother. This year you decided water is actually great and the beach is your favorite too. Watching you grow and seeing all the ways you complete our family is pretty amazing. ❤️ #happybirthday #4 #momlife #covidbaby #feraltoddler

JOIN ME AT MY FIRST *FREE* ONLINE VIRTUAL GATHERING 🌝 On Thursday 23 May at 8pm I’ll be holding a free gathering on zoom related to birthing and becoming a new mother during the pandemic. The pandemic was such a momentous moment in history for the entire planet and some of us were pregnant and birthing amidst it. Now our “Covid babies” will soon be turning 4 and although many of my most recent conversations have been around how the time has flown and that they will be starting school soon, I am reminded of a time of profound transformation in a time of great uncertainty. And so I’m creating a space to gather with other mothers who have all shared this lived experience. A safe space to share our stories, and respect and honour one of the most impactful times of our lives. If you would like to join please DM me your email address and I will send you the zoom link. What to bring; cup of tea 🫖 If you know of any other mothers what may benefit from connecting in this way please send them the details or send me their email. I hope to see you then 🩷🩷🩷 • • • • • • • • #lockdownmother #covidbaby #motherhood #somaticexperiencing #somaticinquiry #mindbody #mindfulnessformothers #mothers #mumlife #maidentomother #sw19 #wimbledonmums #wimbledon #selfcareformothers #selfcompassionformothers #mentalhealthformums #mentalhealth #nervoussystemregulation #mothering #mindfulmother #embodiedmother #mumcoach #nurturethemothers #embodiedmotherembodiedchild
