This post is verryyyy vulnerable so please be kind with comments 💛

My experience of motherhood wasn’t what I expected. It was so much harder and so much more intense than I ever could have imagined.

Just over four weeks after giving birth me and my daughter Evie were admitted to a mother and baby psychiatric unit, and we stayed for five months. At the time it felt like recovery was not possible and I really truly thought I’d never ever recover or be a good mum, yet here we are three years later - absolutely thriving.

If you feel you can relate to anything I’ve shared or like someone else would benefit from my content please follow me or share my profile. I want to show that maternal mental health is NOT a taboo, and should NOT be stigmatised. All of us mums are doing the absolute best we can and some of us just need a bit more support than others and there is NO shame in that at all.

Hi I’m Sofii, I’m 27 and a mum of one to my crazy little three year old, Evie.

After I had Evie my mental health took a nosedive and we were admitted to a mother and baby psychiatric unit, where we spent five months, and I was diagnosed with postpartum psychotic tendencies and OCD tendencies. Being here now is a massive privilege and something that I try not to take for granted.

I have diagnosed OCD and PMDD, I’m medicated for both and in a chemical menopause (yay). This isn’t without side effects but the pros massively outweigh the cons, and I’m grateful to receive treatment for these with my mental health team and gynae consultants.

We’ve been home from the MBU for nearly three years now and I’m still an over-stimulated mum, but who isn’t when you have a three year old! I’m now on a mission to raise awareness for postpartum psychosis, OCD and other maternal mental health conditions, because they aren’t talked about enough and the effects can be devastating.

I’ll be sharing the good, bad and ugly of motherhood - I have no filter and no shame for what I’ve been through and continue to go through. If you feel you can relate to anything I’ve said please give me a follow, I want to spread the love with as many people as possible!

I’ve been debating whether to make this post for ages so here we are! The reason why I’ve not been Sofii Mae Cakes for just over three years now is all explained in this video. I have no idea what to call this account anymore so any ideas are very welcomed. If you want to unfollow because I’m not cakes anymore that’s completely fine, I just ask that you engage with this post first so that it can reach as many mums as possible 🥰

If there are ANY mums, partners, families or friends who are going through or watching someone go through something similar please please please reach out to me. I love to chat and will do everything I can to help anyone 😇🥰

I’ll slowly be deleting everything Sofii Mae Cakes related - this will take a while though.

I’ll be making a post later today at about 7pm 🩷

💖 PLEASE READ 💖

I’ve come to the decision to take my maternity leave starting tomorrow. I planned to take it from the 19th but my body and my mind is telling me enough is enough and I need to stop.

It’s been a very very long and difficult pregnancy, and it’s not quite over yet but I definitely am ready to put my feet up and begin the next chapter of my life. I didn’t think I’d return to work before my baby was born because of how poorly I was but I did and I have to say, I’ve aced the cakes and the markets I’ve done, all the way up to 34 weeks pregnant 🤭

This business has seen me as a student, a girlfriend, a fiancé, a wife and now I’m about to be a mother. I really feel like the business has grown with me through the most important parts of my life.

Last night I thought our baby was ready to come into the world and luckily she is still baking away, but it really put it into perspective that I should be enjoying the last few weeks of my pregnancy and preparing for what is to come without the worry or strain of work. I had planned on doing another four markets next week, but I am putting myself and baby girl first and anyone who knows me knows I always put my business above myself but what can I say, I’m changing 🥹🤣

Tomorrow is my baby shower and I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate with all the lovely ladies in my life, it feels like the perfect start to my maternity leave and although I’m genuinely gutted to be putting cakes behind me for a few months, it’s definitely time. I’ll still be posting regularly and will be back from Easter onwards but for now, it’s goodbye from me and Sofii Mae Cakes and I will miss everyone of my customers so much, some of you have become friends not just clients and I feel like I have a little family not just followers.

I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and as soon as baby girl is here I’ll be sure to share the news with you, my legs are staying squeezed shut til after Christmas Day 🤞🏼🤣!!!

All our love, Sof and Bump ###x

I’m looking to book in a few stalls for the weekday next week, are there any school fayres next Monday or Tuesday? I’m booked for Wednesday and Thursday! I’m happy to travel anywhere so if you guys can recommend any places I’d be so grateful!💖💖💖

You know that feeling when you’re 34 weeks pregnant, spend hours baking fresh stock for a huge Cardiff office event, load everything in the car, begin driving the 50 minute journey to Cardiff for the market and then get a message FORTY minutes before you’re due to start selling that I’m not allowed to sell anything the coffee shop on site is selling which includes brownies and blondies which makes up the majority of your stock?

Yeah, me too 🥲 p.s this is actual footage of me driving home with a car full of stock and a days lost wages 😤
