Positive Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood by Pop That Mumma founder of Birth Box and Oxytocin BubbleShow Notes
Those early days with a newborn are such a big transition, both for you after the birth and for your baby as they move from womb to world.
This week I'm joined by Hannah, from Motherhood Road, for a really great conversation about what to expect in those first days with your newborn. This is such valuable listening whether it's your first baby, second, or third.
We discuss: Why seeing those first few weeks as the 'fourth trimester' can support you both What to expect as your hormones shift after birth The importance of protecting those early days with your baby The meaning of 'matrescence', and accepting the new version of you What babies actually need in those early weeks Preparing for night two after your baby's birth Recognising your baby's hunger cues

This has been on my mind for quite a while now, and I really wanted to share it with you all here.
A short episode to explain my album of tracks, The Oxytocin Bubble.
So many of us are used to just pulling out our phone and getting answers almost immediately about anything when asking AI. But what about when we do we this for our pregnancy and labour related questions? In this episode, I’ll be sharing: - How I used AI myself during pregnancy and even during labour, as a childbirth educator and doula - Why constantly checking with AI for reassurance might be eroding your trust in yourself - The moment AI told me my baby’s head was crowning when it definitely wasn’t - The importance of tuning into your body and using your intuition to get the answers - The false confidence in AI’s answers, and why fact-checking against credible sources still matters - When AI can actually be useful during this time
In this episode, I'm joined by journalist and author Molly Forbes, whose work is dedicated to helping families raise body-confident kids in a culture that constantly judges bodies.
In this episode, I'm speaking with Carrie Rad to hear the story of her beautiful, fast second birth, and how differently it played out compared to her long first labour.
