How you recognise her

Professional by name, professional by nature.

Very organised and someone who trusts what the doctors and nurses say 100%, the Professional Mum takes no chances when it comes to her baby.

You'll be giving birth in hospital, surrounded by medical equipment, doctors and other medical professionals to make sure you and your baby are safe in case anything goes wrong. You'll definitely be following your GP's advice religiously, dismissing old wives' tales and taking no notice of any baby myths or superstitions.

How to cope if you're a Professional Mum...

If you're a Professional Mum, the most important thing you need to try to do is to relax.

While preparation is important, many of the rewards of motherhood come from learning to cope with the unexpected and enjoying the spontaneous joys motherhood will bring.

By loosening up a little bit and being flexible in your approach as a new mum, you'll be better positioned to deal with the unpredictable - an unavoidable part of parenting!
