You've slept three hours in two-hour chunks, there's milk on your only clean top, and your newborn session is tomorrow morning.
Deep breath, mama. I've got you.
Here's the bit nobody tells you. You don't need to prepare anything. Not really. The studio at Brickendonbury Estate is kept warm and quiet, the wraps and bonnets and baskets are already laid out, and I've got everything your little one could possibly need waiting for them. Dummies if you use them, a heater for the changing area, soft music, the lot.
What you actually need to bring is yourselves. That's it. Feed baby right before you leave the house, throw the spare muslins in the bag you've already half-packed, and come as you are. Tracksuit, no makeup, hair in a bun. Honestly, I mean it. You'll be cuddled up on the sofa with a cuppa while I do the fiddly bits.
This session isn't another thing on your list. It's two or three hours where someone else holds the plan, the temperature, the timing, and the tiny details, while you sit in a warm room and just watch your baby be small. That's the whole point of it 🤍
If you're booked in with me this week, breathe. If you're expecting and reading this thinking you'll never cope, DM me or visit www.oliviachristina.co.uk and let's get you penciled in while you've still got the headspace.
