This week we had a Featured Guest at Mothers Group to talk to our Term 3 Mothers. It was Dr Margie Scanlon. It was such a pleasure to have her grace us with her knowledge and compassion around our mothers and babies. Helping our mothers talk about topics that the mothers might not have caved up the courage to talk to someone about yet or wanting to revisit to clarify and help them find some answers in a safe space. Talk through birth, pregnancy and now any postnatal medical concerns the mothers might have had. Thankyou 💚🤍🩺

Get to know your
Keeping Mum Annerley Host.
Hi im Natalie. Im a mum of two a now 2 year old girl and a 4 year old boy. I grew up on the northside of Brisbane near Boondall but now call the Southside of Brisbane Home. Seeing a childs face light up with joy is why i work in the early childhood sector on my days im not running a mothers group.
Helping mums to find the reason on how to produce these moments of joy is why i run a mothers group. Also making sure that mums keep the joy and sparkle of themselves after having a baby.
Learning about different topics mum & bub related can produce that confidence and sparkle back. Also having a community behind you making new mum friends here having people who relate helped me.
When i joined a Keeping Mum Mothers Group i hope it can do the same for you. 🤍💜🍃

We had a Motherhood Discussion Session about Changed Relationships this week with our Mothers here at Keeping Mum Annerley.
About how our Relationships around us can Change after we have a baby with our partner, family and friends. For the good, bad or just different sometimes and thats okay. We just might have to navigate things abit differently than we might have before you had children. Now you have to think about sleep schedules, feeding schedules and many other things that involve a continually growing baby or on the move toddler aswell if you have multiple children. Also thoughts and conversations might change which is normal.

If anyone is finding this part of motherhood hard dont hesitate to reach out to a

How wonderful such an enlightening book 💜📖

I recently heard that there are only 7 copies of Matrescence by Lucy Jones available through Brisbane City Council libraries with more than 30 people waiting on hold to read it.

So I decided to buy some copies for our community to borrow.

Matrescence explores something we don’t talk about nearly enough: the enormous transformation that happens when a woman becomes a mother.

Just like adolescence, matrescence is a period of profound physical, psychological, emotional and social change. It can reshape our identity, our relationships, our bodies, our brains and how we see ourselves.

As a working mum, I think we need to talk much more openly about this transition and do much more as a society to actually support women through it.

So I’ve purchased copies of Matrescence for a little community lending library through my office.

Because I suspect they’ll be popular, you’ll need to contact my office to arrange a loan. We’ll take your contact details, keep track of the waiting list and let you know when a copy is ready for you.

Read it, return it, and we’ll pass it on to the next local mum.

Capturing precious moments this early in your babies life is something special. Professional photos that capture the essence of that bond between a mother and child were captured here last thursday morning. We had the pleasure of Sun and Star Photography do a
Mother and Baby Photo Shoot for our Term 3 mums. She was such a fun, interactive, gentle touch to this term we cant wait to see our photos back when there ready.
Thanks Jess 💜📸
