Show Notes
This week on the podcast I’m joined by mama of two and owner of NINE+QUARTER maternity wear Martina Minarik. Martina discusses her own pregnancy and breastfeeding journey and shares some of her top style tips for what to wear during the postpartum period to make you feel good and also to make life that little bit easier!
Martina was inspired to set up her own business NINE+QUARTER maternity wear after having her first child and struggling to find cool pieces to wear during pregnancy and then whilst breastfeeding. However, it wasn’t until she had her second child that she decided to do act on her inspiration (and frustration!) and create her own designs. She knew she wasn’t the only mama-to-be who felt constrained by a of lack style options available for maternity wear.
Originally from Sweden, Martina spent many years in London, and is now currently living in Bermuda with her family. She’s full of practical advice and top tips for rocking your body no matter what stage of motherhood you’re in.
Martina is offering boobingit listeners 10% off all NINE+QUARTER maternity & breastfeeding wear. Listen to the episode for the discount code!

In a special episode of the Boobingit Podcast, we sit down with Ashley James—TV presenter, broadcaster, DJ, and mum-of-two—to talk about the judgment parents face when it comes to feeding choices and why it’s time for change. Ashley first rose to fame on Made in Chelsea and has since built a successful career in broadcasting, regularly appearing on shows like This Morning and Good Morning Britain. As a passionate advocate for body confidence, mental health, and parenting rights, she has used her platform to speak openly about the realities of motherhood—including the highs and lows of breastfeeding. In this episode, we dive into the findings of a new report from MAM, which surveyed 1,000 British parents. The report found that 63% of parents face intense criticism in early parenthood – 17% for their baby’s public behaviour, 16% for feeding choices, and a growing 15% for using a dummy. Ashley shares her own experience with mum-shaming and online backlash, and we discuss why feeding choices—especially breastfeeding—continue to be such a divisive topic.
