Welcome to Episode 236 of Beyond the Bump! This week, we chatted to Maggie Chretien about a much requested topic: how do you know when to add another child to your family, whether it's going from two to three or any other number for that matter?
Things got a bit heated during this episode, and to be honest, we're not sure where we landed on the issue. But hey, we hope you enjoy it!!

Hey Google, Should I have a third child?! - with Maggie Chretien

Welcome back to all our beautiful Bumpies listening! We hope you’ve missed us. This episode is going to be an absolute mixed bag—or as we like to call it, "raw dogging it"! 
You guys have sent us some questions you want answered as we discuss some topics we're eager to dive into. It’s been a while since we've given an update, and we suppose not much and yet everything has changed for both of us since then. 
As always, we hope you enjoy this episode!

Would you say this is a raw dogging episode?! - with Sophie & Jayde

Welcome to Episode 234 of Beyond the Bump! Today, we're chatting with Rachel Baker, the founder of LBDO, all about sex and intimacy. We reckon these topics are huge parts of parenthood often brushed under the rug, leading to heaps of shame and guilt.
Our Bumpies have flooded us with questions about sex and intimacy, so we're tackling them head-on. Questions like, "Help! I feel like I've totally lost my libido post-kids. Will it ever come back?" Or "What do you do when you and your partner have mismatched sex drives?"
We hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome to Episode 233 of Beyond the Bump! Today, we're chatting with Tracey from Holistic Sleep Mumma. This time around, we're diving into the world of coping with sleep deprivation without going down the sleep training route. We'll explore those in-between options, because hey, you don't have to suffer through exhaustion, and you don't have to jump straight into sleep training either. There's a middle ground, and we're here to help you find it!
Hope you enjoy this episode!

If I choose not to sleep train, will my baby ever sleep? - with Tracey, Holistic Sleep Mumma

BEHIND THE BUMP - In today’s very special season finale we sit down with Ceci Jeffries, and ask her all the questions you want to know about emotional health when trying to conceive yourself, and how to help your friend who is going through a rough time when TTC!
What is a good response to “at least you know you can get pregnant”?
How can we emotionally take care of ourselves after bad news: a negative test, a failed transfer, a miscarriage?
How does secondary infertility feel different to primary?
How can we keep our intimacy/sex life going when dealing with prolonged TTC?
How can we cope in the TWW?
What is the best way to support a friend in the trenches?
What’s the most considerate way to share your pregnancy news with a friend who is struggling to fall pregnant?
And so much more!
 
Hosts: La & Sophie
 
A huge thank you to all our incredibly brave guests this season, and our legendary, supportive audience - the bumpies! We will be back after this short break!
