Strengthening Your Bond with Baby—Even Amidst Diabetes Management

Pregnancy is a beautiful time to begin building a deep connection with your baby, laying the foundation for a lifetime of love.

But when managing diabetes, it can sometimes feel like the focus shifts entirely to numbers—A1c levels, staying in range, and striving for perfection. In the midst of it all, it’s easy to forget that you’re also growing a precious new life.

My courses are designed not only to prepare you for birth but to help you reconnect with your baby, even as you navigate the pressures of diabetes management.

This is your space to pause, breathe, and let go of stress—because when you relax, your blood sugar levels often follow. (Just be sure to keep some fast-acting sugar nearby during these moments of deep relaxation as your blood sugar might go low).

Through guided relaxation, mindfulness techniques, and calming practices, you’ll have the chance to truly tune in to your baby.

Science tells us that babies begin to hear as early as 18 weeks and can recognise their mother’s voice by birth.

Talking, singing, or reading to your baby helps them feel safe and secure while strengthening the bond between you.

These simple, everyday moments of connection are incredibly powerful and enriching for both of you.

In my classes, we’ll explore ways to deepen this bond, including:

✧ Gentle breathing exercises to help you visualise connecting with your baby
✧ Relaxation techniques that allow you to focus on their movements and responses
✧ Affirmations and mindfulness practices that celebrate the unique journey you’re on together

This isn’t just about preparing for birth—it’s about creating a space where you can cherish these precious moments, feel more confident as you step into motherhood, and embrace the joy of pregnancy.

Whether you’re managing diabetes or simply seeking calm in a busy world, this is your time to nurture both yourself and your little one.
