S2 E4 What I Know Now - Latest information on Booze and Babes

March 07, 2022 20:00 - 34 minutes - 23.7 MB

What I know now, couldn't be a more apt title for this episode of the podcast. I drank the odd wine when I was pregnant, a glass of celebratory champagne here and there. And I drank when I was breastfeeding, on one occasion (one of my bestie's 40th's) more than the odd wine. But I didn't know the information I know, now. And I would change that if I had the chance to again. This was a really hard podcast to decide to do - because it's such a controversial topic, and we're always loath to s...

I see so many forums online ask What do I really need for Baby? and there is so much information out there, most of it tied to a product.

E 09 What I know now - How to make hospital feel more like a home.

November 09, 2021 03:00 - 15 minutes - 10.4 MB

For many of us, when we have a baby in a hospital setting, it is a rare occasion to be a patient in the hospital. Hopefully, our experiences of being in a hospital are limited and so, therefore, hospitals can seem unfamiliar and can be daunting. One criticism of hospitals is that they’re “too institutionalised”, well, yes, hospitals are an institution, but they're also very safe, accessible, and caring spaces to have a baby and become a family. They’re also spaces that can be filled with gr...

October 14, 2021 21:00 - 6 minutes - 4.36 MB
