Baby shower “Mother blessing”
Baby shower “Mother blessing” is designed to offer support and love to a woman expecting a baby. A mother-empowering baby shower is a heartfelt alternative to a traditional baby shower, to celebrate a woman's birth into motherhood and to create her circle of support. If If a traditional baby shower is more about fun games, then the “Mother blessing” baby shower honors a woman who is going through the biggest change of her life. The ceremony focuses on the emotional aspects of the journey of becoming a mother, and support is given instead of material gifts. Currently only in Estonian.
Baby shower “Mother blessing”: for whom and when?
The baby shower, that takes care of an expectant mother is traditionally held in the third trimester. The expectant mother could come to the party with a support group (8-20 women): friends and relatives with whom she feels good to be together. The goal is to create a strong connection between women that will empower the expectant mother on her journey from pregnancy to birth and parenting.
Baby shower “Mother blessing”: what to expect?
The core elements of the gathering come from ancient traditions, but each party is the face of the women who participate in it. We create a deeply integrated support circle that the mother can count on even after the baby is born, we release fears, offer the mother pleasant care, share support and heartfelt gifts, tell inspiring stories and talk about the postpartum period, raise the mother's energy level so that she has the strength to confidently step into her new role as the mother of her baby. The “Mother blessing” is also suitable for women, that already have older children.
For a lecture focusing on the postpartum period, the mother can choose the topic that she likes the most:
- First 40 days as a sacred window
- Creating a beautiful breastfeeding relation with your baby
- How to hold a close relationship with an older child
- Creating a postpartum plan
- Baby brain, what changes are expected in mother’s brain
Price, duration, location
Fee 25 EUR / per person
If there are fewer than 8 people in the group, I kindly ask you to pay the minimum fee of 200 euros.
I will hold the baby shower in a room of your choice (a spacious living room, terrace, or garden are suitable for this, if the weather is good). I mainly lead the parties in Harju County, but we can agree on reimbursement of transportation costs throughout Estonia. The party lasts about 3 hours.
About me
I am hosting a powerful baby shower as a mother of two, postpartum doula, and lactation consultant who believes that there is extraordinary strength in women who support each other. I can confirm from my own experience what research says: having a support group is one of the key factors in postpartum recovery and adjusting to motherhood. The birth of a mother is just as important as the birth of a baby!
