ABOUT US

Welcome to Just a Mum Away

A space that truly feels like home for mothers. I’m Najma Bibi Noor Mahomed, and this page is a reflection of my own journey through motherhood. Like many of you, I’ve experienced the incredible highs and daunting lows that come with being a mom. I’m lucky to have my husband by my side, but I often think about how different things would have been without that support.

My mother has been my rock, especially during my postpartum days. She was there for me, guiding me through healing and helping with everything from baths to those sleepless nights. Watching her care for me made me realize how important that support is, and it made me wonder how women without family around cope.

When my son was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, those feelings of isolation hit hard. I gave birth without my husband by my side because of lockdown restrictions, which was one of the toughest moments of my life. I found myself scrolling through the internet, trying to gather information while telling myself not to get lost in the scary birthing stories. Each time someone learned I was pregnant, I was met with phrases like, “It’s going to feel like you’re dying” or “It’s so sore.” While those words terrified me, I also encountered so many women who shared uplifting and empowering experiences.

That’s what inspired me to create this platform—a safe haven where mothers can share their stories, connect, and find the support we all need.

What started as a personal project has grown into a beautiful community. Here, you’ll discover not only articles and expert advice but also a network of amazing women who lift each other up.

Our mission is simple: to empower one another through connection and shared experiences. Together, we can navigate the rollercoaster of motherhood and celebrate every moment. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
