The Fourth Trimester.
I always went with four months; it’s a ‘period of time that takes you from your baby’s birth, to three months’.
I went with four, because that was the time their little heads peeped - bobbing and inquisitive - above the parapet that was the sling that held them close.
Just as they had transitioned from womb to world, now they were transitioning from wrap to world, unfolding gently into the bright lights of the life around them.
Labour Line Beads
Labour line - or birthing line - beads.
It’s easy to forget that things have a beginning and an end - and for some, the visual interpretation of labour and birth can be a wonderful tool to support how we perceive time; and how some of us appreciate the sense of marking off moments in time as we reach a goal.
Bone Broth Shots.
Why is a bone broth such a marvellous nutritional boost to our gut flora?
• Because meat stocks and broths are healing foods.
• Gelatin (from the joints and knuckles) is a leaky-gut healing superfood! It protects and heals the lining of the digestive tract and helps to regenerate cells.
• It’s also magic at helping digestion and the absorption of nutrients.
