Orlagh Frank McLoughlin
Birth Story!
Hi guys,
I have had lots
of requests for Orlagh’s birth story.
Apologies
that it has taken me 2 weeks to get round to writing it and even bigger
apologies for the length of the story. However, most of you wanted all the
info, so here it is…..
For those
who want the nutshell,
Orlagh was due Friday March 22nd and arrived March
23rd at 15.47, 8lb 7oz! We got to the Coombe at 15.00 and Orlagh was born at 15.47. She is gorgeous and perfect and we are loving that she is part of our family! |

A letter to … the lady in the next bed The letter you always wanted to write
Saturday 15 December
Having watched Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake and the other Olympians recently, I started thinking about how their competitiveness translates to the everyday world. I thought about how we push each other along and help each other to do our best. That made me think of you. I wanted to say thank you. Though we never met and I never even saw your face, you helped me to get through one of the most intense experiences of my life. |

Taken from  Whether you’re pregnant or trying to conceive, these five simple tips will help establish a healthy foundation for you and your baby.
1. Supplement Your Diet
Taking a high-quality prenatal supplement andpurified fish oil are essential to ensuring you and the growing life inside of you are getting what you need. Think of supplements as insurance for your health, and don’t skimp on quality or price (i.e. don’t purchase your vitamins at a store that also sells tires). |

Backache in Pregnancy....
 Backache is one of the top complaints with all my Pregnancy Yoga and Pilates students. The two most important places to protect your back is at work and watching how you sleep. Keeping active, using your ball and coming to class will help keep your back strong, but you MUST mind your back in work.
Please read below top tips from one of my FANTASTIC students who has worked in facilities management.
Tips for Office Workers - You should be given a Pregnancy Risk Assessment by whoever is in charge of Health & Safety in your company.

 As those of you who are taking my pregnancy classes know, I am a huge fan of using birthing balls during your pregnancy, labour and birth. I strongly advice all students to get a ball as soon as they know that they are pregnant and spend as much time on it as possible. Use your ball at home, relaxing, watching TV, at your desk, at your kitchen table and use that ball to ease any back pressure. Don't forget to use your ball for your daily exercises too!

The key to keeping your body in good shape and your back strong during your pregnancy is to keep it moving. I recommend joining a Pregnancy Yoga Class or Pregnancy Pilates class or even better do both. If you are walking daily, going to class and then add in some gentle stretches at home, you will have a healthy, pain free pregnancy and you will keep your back strong throughout.Please click here for 5 postures to try at home daily. Join me for Pregnancy Yoga Classes Thursday at a18.30 or Pregnancy Pilates Classes Tuesdays at 17. |
