October 31, 2021 19:00 - 36 minutes - 82.5 MBLizz is mumma to two gorgeous bubbas – 2 year old Tilly and 9 month old Bailey (15 month age gap between the two). Lizz and her husband felt very lucky to conceive quite easily both times, and had two quite similar pregnancies. Lizz opted for a scheduled C section with Tilly, she felt really big and just wanted to meet her baby girl after a long 9 months! Her recovery from her C section wasn’t too bad, though some things were more difficult than others after having the surgery. She felt re...
Beth Eveleigh - two boys, two very different births and carb loading!
October 24, 2021 19:00 - 38 minutes - 88.1 MBBeth and her husband decided they were ready to start a family after they got married, so after getting her Implanon (4cm contraceptive stick in the arm) removed, they conceived relatively quickly having fun over the festive season of 2016 (hello, September baby!). Her pregnancy was pretty smooth sailing with no issues, but unbeknownst to Beth she was carrying quite a big baby. She had quite a tough, long labour with Oscar, and after soldiering on for a while asked for the epidural. When it...
Patrice Newport - emergency C-section, TENS machine & baby brain!!
October 17, 2021 19:00 - 41 minutes - 96 MBPatrice and her partner had planned an Italy holiday as the 'last holiday' before hopefully starting a family. Sadly, their trip was cancelled due to COVID, and so they began trying for a family. They had a few anxieties around trying, due to an earlier agreed termination at the very start of their relationship and all the misconceptions around termination affecting future chances to conceive. Patrice and her partner were delighted to have fallen pregnant straight away, so that theory did no...
Stacey Fraser - false negatives, meconium in utero & why is it so hard asking for help?!
October 10, 2021 19:00 - 44 minutes - 103 MBStacey hadn’t realised she was pregnant as she was still getting what she thought were her monthly periods. The HCG pregnancy hormone wasn’t showing up in her urine so every test she took was negative. After visiting her GP and after a positive test, she was on her way to meeting her baby girl Summer. Stacey wasn't 'textbook' ready to deliver Summer at full term, given her cervix wasn’t quite ripe and was still high. But because she wanted to have a natural delivery, she held off as long a...
Katie Whitehorn - premature baby, NICU & dog being the second baby!
October 03, 2021 19:00 - 29 minutes - 67.2 MBEpisode 6 – Katie Whitehorn Katie and her partner had discussed having a baby in the future, but Corey had other plans and suitably then didn’t want to wait to enter the world. Katie's waters broke at 28 weeks whilst on their baby moon up in another state. She made her way to the hospital where the Doctor told her she wasn't leaving Brisbane without a baby(!!) She then went into labour with Corey at 30 weeks, and because Corey was breech, she had a caesarean section. Because he was premat...
Amanda Coneyworth - miscarriage, positive inductions & the juggle is real!
September 26, 2021 20:00 - 44 minutes - 102 MBAmanda's journey to becoming a Mum started with some sadness, when she experienced pregnancy loss. Her experience with miscarriage then casted an anxious shadow when she did fall pregnant again, carrying the fear that it may happen again. Fortunately, Amanda and her husband conceived again two period cycles later, and had a pretty 'easy' pregnancy. She took a relatively laid back approach during her pregnancy, reading her body and continuing to do things that made her feel like herself i.e....
Tamara Bayley - retained placenta, postpartum mental health & heart explosions!
September 19, 2021 20:00 - 36 minutes - 83.7 MBTamara spent the first half of her pregnancy dealing with debilitating nausea, which she was on prescribed medication to manage. She found it had such a profound impact on her mental health, whilst trying to continue to feel grateful for the gift that is a baby. Jock's birth was pretty 'straightforward', progressing naturally from 3pm to birthing him 4 hours later. Amazingly, Jock was 1 in the 80,000 births where the baby is born in the amniotic sac. Tam also had a slight complication wher...
Maddi Wilson - Emergency C-section, difficulty breastfeeding & lightning crotch!!
September 12, 2021 20:00 - 36 minutes - 83.7 MBMaddi Wilson was delighted to have fallen pregnant after only 6 months of trying after stopping the contraceptive pill. She'd been on it since she was 15, and now at 28 feels much better mentally since stopping using it. She was unable to enjoy the first trimester of her pregnancy due to consistent spotting most days. She didn’t want to get her hopes up knowing how common the risk of miscarriage is, however come second trimester the bleeding stopped. Other than a few aches and pains (and l...
Jaime McHugh - IVF, a dream birth and Google is NOT your friend!
September 05, 2021 20:00 - 41 minutes - 94 MBJaime felt really lucky with her journey to becoming a Mumma to Primrose, but admittedly her luck nosedived at various points along the way. Jaime and her husband conceived using in vitro fertilisation (IVF), due to some underlying health issues, namely polycystic ovarian syndrome amongst a couple of other things. They were lucky that they were just able to continue their IVF treatment before all elective surgeries were put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They also successfully conc...
1. Courtney Reynolds - COVID pregnancy & birth, dealing with grief & where do I find my mothers intuition??
August 29, 2021 20:00 - 29 minutes - 68.4 MBCourtney was delighted to have fallen pregnant quite straightforwardly after having an ovary removed due to cancer at age 25. Her pregnancy then coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant she hadn’t enjoyed pregnancy as much as she perceived she would have pre COVID. She felt anxiety stricken around giving birth, but found doing hypnobirthing really helped her and her partner understand the science behind birth itself. 9 months later, still in lockdown, Courtney had a relatively qui...
