Show Notes
We're at month 5. By this stage, your baby will be about the size of a large banana! Which is handy because cravings strike at any time. In this episode, we’re making sure you look after yourself. From proper nutrition and exercise to checking in on your mental health and everything in between. We'll chat with Bump Day Spa founder Tegan Natoli and Family psychologist Jo Lamble about the power of asking for help, mastering the art of self-care (without guilt!) and the mental load mothers face during pregnancy. Everyone's experience is unique, and may not be the best for you. Always seek medical advice to find what's right for you. If you're struggling during pregnancy, you can find additional support here.

She’s 10 days on. She’s splitting her time and her heart between home and hospital, and she wants to share her story with you, Outlouders. Our beloved co-host Jessie Stephens gave birth to her boy-girl twins last week, earlier than hoped, and became a mum all over again. There will be so many of you who’ll relate to this story of terror-tinged joy, who will recognise the awe and exhaustion in Jessie’s voice, and who will want to send her so much love as she and her little family find their way through a new normal. Jessie’s rock, her twin sister Clare Stephens as well as Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright are asking the questions:. How much time did she get “off” before the babies came? What was the first thing that happened when they did? How is Luna? How is Luca? Can she finally eat chocolate again? And how is she staying sane and hopeful? A very special episode.
