The Pregnancy Yoga Blog
The pregnancy yoga blog is where I explore topics, beliefs, and philosophies related to pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. I believe yoga is a tool to help us navigate these times with calm confidence.
Join me as I tackle subjects ranging from birth advocacy, breastfeeding, physiological birth, induction, medicalised birth, birth preparation and NICU.

We’re told to know our options, speak up about our preferences, and make informed choices. But I wondered, is it really that simple—especially when you’re navigating a high-risk birth? Determined to try, I made a plan to advocate for myself. Some parts went well; others didn’t. Here’s my honest experience.
