Hey Mama! Welcome back to the next feature in my 'Baby Mama Loves..' series, and if you're pregnant or you know someone who is then this is certainly NOT one to miss!! I'm so happy to share with you Rosa, who runs Labour of Love-a world of pre & postnatal care! As ever, if you keep reading to find out more you will be able to find a discount code to enjoy at the end too-perfect!

When I was pregnant with Klara, Covid (booo!) was still lingering, meaning I was unable to connect and meet with other expectant mums. When I fell pregnant with Lukas I was determined to ensure that was not going to be the same experience this time round! Also knowing the importance of birth prep, I wanted to ensure that whatever I chose to do had an element of this woven in, so I decided to take myself along to Rosa's Pregnancy Yoga Class on Monday evenings in Stanpit. I attended from 14weeks, and went every single week-right up until 40 weeks of pregnancy! (Lukas arrived 5 days later!) It was SO enjoyable and so grounding each week to know that I was taking just an hour out to honour myself and my ever growing bump, and focus just purely on us-something that seemed near on impossible in the week with a 3 year old under my feet too!

Each week I attended I felt more and more in tune with my body & my baby. Every class class started with a welcome & check in, where we would each take turns in introducing ourselves & how far along we were, and shared as much or as little as we wished-whether it was how a midwife appointment had been, if we'd had a busy weekend or anything & everything in-between! This was a great way to chat and get to know other new mums to be and start forming those friendships. We would then move into some breathwork followed by gentle yoga practice, with Rosa's expertise being shared each week. The most enjoyable and empowering bit for me, was the labour practice each week. A few minutes of visualising being in labour, focusing on our breathing & really tuning into our intuition- moving, swaying or even being still. Just listening to whatever our bodies needed in that moment. Rosa would offer some words of wisdom during this time, and I can particularly remember her talking about the pelvis being like a candle wax (stay with me!), this visualisation was SO powerful! So much so, that when the time came and I was labouring in my birthing pool at home, Rosa's voice came to my mind and actually helped guide me through some intense surges. If that's not magic- I don't know what is!

Rosa also offers postnatal classes, where you can take baby along, & meet other new mums in a relaxed no pressure yoga class! It's completely baby led, so if you need to feed, change or if babe is even asleep you still can join in and benefit yourself! I was able to take Klara to these when she was a baby, it was the first class we ever went to together along with a friend! I really enjoyed getting out of the house and getting some gentle movement in too!

Rosa is an expert in her field, and alongside the two classes I've mentioned & attended, she also offers private birth prep classes, scar tissue massage, closing the bones ceremony & other treatments too! Her knowledge is second to none, and her calming personality means you will instantly be put at ease!

If you're interested in trying her Pregnancy Yoga class (and I suggest that you do!), then I'm thrilled to share an exclusive Baby Mama discount with you! Rosa is happy to offer £4 off a block of 4 classes-what a bargain! You can also enjoy £5 off any of her treatments. To redeem either of these discounts you will need to mention 'Baby Mama No Drama' when enquiring, and book during the month of December, & redeem by the end of January 2026.

Big love, NO DRAMA!
