Why we love? 

*If only* this had been around when I gave birth to Jude + Heidi - an astoundingly insightful guide for new parents and also a great tool for their loved ones to indulge in. This birth bible covers soo many essential topics - from gathering your village for support postpartum, to all the taboo subjects no-one ever talks about and basically just alllll the things to expect from birth onwards. To the new parents out there (or those expecting)? It’s not a want, it’s a NEED.
