Newborn Mothers Need a Village: Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Support

Pregnancy, birth and postpartum can be some of the most transformative and vulnerable seasons of a mother’s life. But no mother was ever meant to do it all alone.In this episode of the Parenting Collective Podcast, host Donna Moala sits down with Deyana Salib, Midwife, Owner & Director of Pregnancy Practice Perth, for a heartfelt conversation about why mothers need a village before, during and after birth.Deyana shares her journey as a midwife and the inspiration behind Pregnancy Practice Perth , a community-focused model designed to support women from early pregnancy through birth and into postpartum.Together, Donna and Deyana talk about:• Why pregnancy support needs to begin from the moment you find out you’re pregnant• The importance of continuous midwife-led care throughout pregnancy and birth• Why postpartum support is just as important as pregnancy and birth preparation• The mental load, anxiety and loneliness many new mothers experience• Why mothers need practical help, emotional support and sometimes simply someone to give them a hug• The importance of building a genuine “village” around mothers• Birth support, breastfeeding, newborn sleep and the professionals who can help• Supporting mothers who have experienced miscarriage, infertility or difficult births• The impact of isolation and the growing need for connection in modern motherhood• Deyana’s charity I’m With You, supporting vulnerable pregnant and postpartum women• The role of spirituality, faith, hope and surrendering fear during motherhoodOne of the biggest messages from this conversation is simple: you are not failing, you are not meant to do this alone.Whether you are pregnant, preparing for birth, navigating those early newborn weeks, or supporting a new mum in your life, this episode is a reminder that mothers deserve to be cared for too.If this episode resonates with you, subscribe to The Parenting Collective Podcast, share it with a mum who needs to hear it, and let us know in the comments: Who is in your village?Follow Deyana Salib:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deyana-salib-b0a4ab24a/Website: https://pregnancypracticeperth.com.au/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560860396055Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pregnancypracticeperth/Book your FREE 15 minute consultation: https://pregnancypracticeperth.com.au/book-your-free-15-minute-consultation-below/I would appreciate it greatly if you could please LIKE and FOLLOW this podcast and if you are not following me over on instagram, head over there for all of my top tips and advice around sleep and parenting @parentingcollective.au.  I also offer a free 15 minute phone chat to run through all your questions CLICK here to book your FREE 15 minute chatMuch Love 💞Donna Moala Parenting Collective                                               SLEEP & PARENTING ESSENTIALS🩷  For your daily walks, coffee's & travel     CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE COZIGO  🩷  Favourite room darkening product     CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE SLEEPY SUNDAYS🩷 Favourite Goat's Milk Formula    CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE LITTLE OAK FORMULA.🩷 Favourite Rice Milk Formula    CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE ...
