LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE!!


With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas on it's way, it's time to get in the festive spirit!! For many, this will be baby's first Christmas and what a special time that is!! For the pregnant mamas, this Christmas may not be as indulgent as other years but make sure you find a way to spoil yourselves. And finally, a nod to those with December Due Dates who are playing roulette with going into labour on a special day - I was in your boat a couple of years ago, you've got this!!


For those of you staying in HK, hope the weather stays lovely. And for those travelling further afield, good luck with the flight and have the best time with family and friends.


In the meantime, looking forward to seeing those who have already booked in to the Festive Mocktail Night for bumps and The GREAT BIG BUMP&CO. CHRISTMAS PICNIC for babies!

The Hypnobirthing technique is a holistic birth preparation approach combining education, breathing, affirmations, visualizations and fear release techniques. These techniques will allow you to dive deep in your subconscious and tap into your innate birthing power. This course teaches you to rediscover your instincts and to bring your baby into the world with joy, comfort and peace which will leave you satisfied with your birth experience. Upon completion of this course, both your body and mind will be ready for birth, and you will be equipped with different relaxation and comfort techniques to make your birth as comfortable as possible.

WHAT'S BEEN BUMPIN'?


WELCOME ABOARD KAREN!


It's my pleasure to introduce Karen to the BUMP&CO. team! Some of you have had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Karen already in some of the sessions. Karen is a mum of two, and has experienced both a vaginal birth and a c-section birth. She is extremely passionate about supporting new parents as they take on this next chapter of their lives and is a great source of information for all things baby.


 

HONG KONG BIRTH STORIES


Last week we held session 3 "Giving birth in a HK hospital" for our January BUMPS! It was great to welcome back 3 mums, Emma, Maggie and Charmaine from previous classes to share their birth stories - vaginal, c-section, induction, private and public! Also a big thank you to dad Adam for sharing his birth story with the dads-to-be with the added bonus of surprise guest dad, Khalif!



 

POST-NATAL RECOVERY MONTH



A huge thank you to all our experts that took part in the Post-Natal Recovery month! I learnt loads and so I'm hoping that mums that are currently in the thick of the fourth trimester and expectant mums also took away some useful information to help them as they navigate this stage.


Congratulations to our PELVIC FLOOR CHALLENGE winners, Valerie and Kim! Not only are your pelvic floors extra strong, but you've also won 2 group classes each at Joint Dynamics Evolve. Big thank you to Women's Health Physiotherapist, Anna Goener for setting us the challenge every week!
