How you recognise her

Earth Mum likes to be as close to nature as possible.

As Earth Mum you'll eat an organic diet through your pregnancy and go for alternative remedies rather than chemical pain relief. You'll also be keen to have your baby in the comfort of your own home.

How to cope if you're an Earth Mum...

Be prepared to ask for medical help if you need to. As a mum you have a responsibility to look after yourself and your baby and this may mean having to balance what you want with what you need.

As an Earth Mum, talking through what you want with your midwife or doctor will help you to feel comfortable about doing something that may go against your beliefs.
