June 29, 2020 21:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MB

My third trimester has been a ride! In this ep, recorded at 38 weeks pregnant, I'm talking (to myself) about what's been going down over the last three months or so, and how I've been preparing for birth and postpartum on a practical, emotional and psychological level. From what I've bought and what birth education I'm doing to who I've enlisted for support, what I've read and the differences between this pregnancy and my first (coronavirus aside), I hope this is helpful! I chose the SheBir...

56 | "I felt out of control and sad and lonely" - Ashe Davenport on parenthood and writing about it in her new book, Sad Mum Lady

June 21, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 53 MB

I've never met Ashe in person, but I'm quite convinced she's the funniest woman I know. Because I am sure I know her, in a weird way - the way she writes about mothering, and her kids and her partner and her mother and her life is just so uncomfortably familiar that I'm quite sure we're destined to be best friends, if only she'd realise Sydney is better than Melbourne. Please enjoy this rambling, fan girling (on my part) chat about babies and postpartum and leaky orifices and feeling lonely....

Lily Nichols is an influential prenatal/postpartum dietician and nutritionist who has made a name for herself by diving deep into the research and rethinking evidence-based ideas for eating in pregnancy and beyond.

But she has some (delicious) solutions. Listen in on our chat and find Lily's work here: https:/...

Career-focused but keen to start a family, Sarah Grant found herself having a whirlwind romance, engagement and pregnancy within a year.

May 24, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 49 MB

There are many ways to feed a baby, and while many of us hope to breastfeed, it's not always the easiest thing. Alana Adye had breastfeeding issues from the beginning--nevertheless, she persisted.

Babies cost money - but how much exactly, and whether it will stress you out or you'll sail through, depends on your choices and planning.

April 19, 2020 10:00 - 1 hour - 54.5 MB

Meg Frawley had her birth and postpartum all planned: the Australian had booked in a doula to help her navigate the American medical system in her new home of San Francisco, her parents would fly in from Sydney to help her and her husband adjust to life with a new baby and she'd joined all the local mother's groups. But as Covid-19 hit America, hard, her parents cancelled their trip. And the day her labour niggles began, she received a phone call from her doula: no one would be allowed to a...

46 | Pregnancy and maternity leave in the age of self-isolation

March 29, 2020 06:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

This week, Josie Rozenberg-Clarke, editor of pedestrian.tv and mama of a nine week old, messaged me with an idea for an episode: how new mums are dealing with self-isolation during what is often a quite lonely season. "The days feel so long, it's lonely, we're all going stir crazy and if it rains you're literally just cooped up inside," she wrote. "I've had to cancel my mum in law's regular Wednesday visit, and my mum is coming this week but that will be the last time for a while. The things...

I recorded this episode a few weeks back with Monique Llewellyn, a mama of one who runs @holisticluxeliving and https://www.holisticluxeliving.com/, because I wanted to share ideas for people who are interested in becoming more eco-friendly in their family practices. Well, now, with covid-19 meaning there are restrictions and shortages on disposable nappies, wipes and other options that were previously easy, more people are interested in becoming self-sufficient, even just a little bit. From...

March 15, 2020 06:00 - 56 minutes - 39 MB

I knew I wanted to have my friend Kelly on the podcast since I started it--not only is she smart and articulate, she's bloody hilarious. A fashion stylist by trade, we bonded while working together at Stellar and I loved how she applies her sense of humour to birth injuries that she's still feeling the effects from. I hope you enjoy Kel's unique perspective on birth and the fourth trimester and find her story as interesting as I did.

41 | Returning to exercise - without ending up with postnatal depletion or a prolapse!

February 23, 2020 08:00 - 39 minutes - 27.4 MB

Exercise and movement is vital for our mental health, energy levels and getting strong and fit. BUT. If you just have a cursory 6 week check by a GP (who isn't a specialist in pelvic floor health) and then throw yourself back into your beloved pre-baby workouts, you could be in for trouble. I asked Sarah Fehlberg, a personal trainer and naturopath, to tell us exactly how to get back into exercise so we end up feeling great, not even worse than when we started.  And! I'm running a giveaway -...

40 | Sheree: Parenting in a same-sex couple, prolapse, relationship challenges & co-sleeping

February 16, 2020 09:00 - 1 hour - 47.2 MB

A couple of months ago, Ree sent me a sweet DM saying how much she loved this podcast - and sharing her thoughts in response to something I'd wondered about being in a same-sex relationship. "I'm in a same-sex relationship, and for us the dynamic is much the same as a heterosexual couple..." But then there's the roles they play, how family and society sees them, and how her lovely baby boy came to be. Of course I wanted to hear all about it - and, more broadly, how new motherhood has been fo...

February 09, 2020 06:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MB

A complicated pregnancy, a premature baby and a very difficult birth that led to both of them fighting for their lives: Jen Dawson started postpartum first time around very much on the back foot (and that's before she found out she was going to be posted overseas to a country where she didn't speak the language or know anyone). Yet her postpartum with her next child, a daughter, was "both sacred and an unravelling". Listen in to hear what changed for her, and what she chose to do differently.

January 19, 2020 10:00 - 46 minutes - 32 MB

A self-confessed "anal Virgo", Courtney found herself veering away from her own expectations of parenthood after she gave birth to her daughter. She'd imagined order, routine and schedule; she found something quite different. And despite being in a relationship with her husband for 15 years before having her baby, it didn't insure the couple from the changes and challenges most of us experience during postpartum.

In fact, her experience shows just how becoming a parent can open up a new layer of inspiration. Madre, the book of poetry that Jessica began during her postpartum (available here) is a raw account of the magic, mystery and unravelling that motherhood brings - it's bloody beautiful. 

34 | How to make parenting choices with confidence

December 17, 2019 10:00 - 53 minutes - 36.8 MB

"How can you be confident when your parenting methods and values don't align with the "norm"?" When this question popped up on my Instagram, I knew that it would make a great podcast topic--and that Jade Cottee would be a great person to help me answer it. Whatever choices you make in your parenting, learning how to feel good about them--and how to deal with any flak you may cop, well-meaning or otherwise--can be a steep learning curve. Hope you enjoy the ep!

December 08, 2019 10:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MB

Sonia Shoukath is a physiotherapist, mum of two and one of my mother's group alumni.

Here Sonia shares that period in her life, the transition from one child to two and how motherhood shifted her identity.

In this episode, she shares why her mum's traditions were some of the best things about her postpartum, why Instagram lies and how she had to come t...

21 | Sophie Gleitzman: "Starting motherhood in the NICU changed everything"

September 08, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MB

It took four years for Sophie Gleitzman to fall pregnant. It took only moments at her 19 weeks scan for her to realise that her much-wanted baby's life might be at risk. As it turned out, her son, Jack (now a happy and healthy two year old) needed heart surgery soon after he was born and Sophie's motherhood journey began in the NICU. But while the intensity of life in the NICU was often heart-wrenching, Sophie says it gave her a priceless perspective that she believes has changed her approac...

August 18, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 54.3 MB

*Trigger warning: SIDS and infant mortality* In years gone by, the message has been loud and clear: bedsharing kills babies. But what does the science say? And why are big organisations like Unicef and the UK's Lullaby Trust now promoting safe bedsharing? Can you ever be safe when you sleep with your baby? And if you're part of the 75% of parents who do fall asleep with their babies at some point, exactly how do you reduce the risks?  I invited Carly Grubb, creator of The Beyond Sleep Train...

August 11, 2019 01:00 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MB

This man has done so much for our understanding of the way newborns develop, what their needs are--and how to meet them without losing our minds! He brought the term 'the fourth trimester' into the mainstream and his ideas on the famous '5 S's' are to thank for the resurgence in swaddling babies, white noise machines and more. And now he's taken it to the next level with a smart bassinet, the Snoo, that claims to help babies and their parents get more sleep. I loved chatting to Dr Karp and c...
