Are you ready for a barrage of unsolicited advice?
Because, congratulations! You’re pregnant.
Random people stopping you in shopping centres telling you their horror stories.
Hearing a never-ending list of things you can and can’t do. And things you are ‘not allowed’ to do – (I’m sorry but how old are we?).
How do I know? I’ve been there!
I’m a Mum of three – there isn’t much about pregnancy and birth I haven’t heard.
I know what it is like to be hearing ‘can’ts’, ‘not alloweds’ and all the ‘you just waits’.
If you’re anything me, you don’t want to be hearing this. You want to be hearing
Go for it
It’s your baby, you do what is right for you
Damn straight you can
Of course you can say no. Or yes. Or whatever you want.
The best thing I have done so far in my pregnancy is this course. Kate is an amazing facilitator – so knowledgeable, relatable, honest, warm and positive.

I’m Kate Vivian and I am Bright Mums
I’m the one standing in your corner being your cheerleader and saying ‘You’ve got this’.
I’m here right now giving you permission to choose.
Permission to be strong.
Permission to be positive (and ignore the horror stories).
And, well, permission to be you!
After all this is your pregnancy, your birth and your baby. You do it your way.
Why is this so damn important to me?
Because we only get one chance with this pregnancy and birth. Sure, we may have more babies, but there is no do-over for this birth.
It took a less than awesome birth experience with my first baby for me to realise this. My second and third babies (both vaginal births after caesareans – VBACs) were completely different.
They were awesome, powerful experiences.
Ones I would do again and again and again and again – well you get the idea.
This is what pregnancy and birth should be! That experience that leaves you shouting ‘hell yes’ from the rooftops!

The Professional Stuff
Kate Vivian is a self-professed pregnancy and birth geek who is finally learning to embrace the chaos of having 3 kids. It was the birth and ‘bringing baby home’ experience of her first baby, and the overwhelming guilt that went with it, that led her to start Bright Mums – and create a world where Mums matter.
A Certified Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner, childbirth educator and postpartum doula, Kate works with Mums-to-be not only supporting them through pregnancy, and birth but also teaching them to honour themselves at a time when the world is telling them their baby is the most important thing.
With almost 2 decades in adult education, Kate has the ability to create a safe space, a non-judgey space. A place where Mums can relax and feel supported regardless of what their journey looks like.
A keen traveller in a former (pre-kids) life, Kate dreams of the day her kids are big enough to take skiing and they can completely show her up while she is busy falling down mountains.
So, thats me - it's time to talk about you
Are you ready to hear all the ‘hell yeahs’ and ‘go for its’?
