Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you! A place to have real conversations with honest and authentic people. 

In our 84th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with the beautiful Teigan McKinnon. She is the wife of Alex McKinnon and the mama of toddler, Harriet, and fresh newborn twins. 

We talk all about what it's like to have a partner who has a spinal cord injury and the challenges that arise because of that. We also chat about the realities of having twins, which is a whole other topic in itself.

We absolutely loved chatting with Tiegan and we hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did.

In our 82nd episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with a friend of Jayde's, Lakshmi. She takes us on her journey behind motherhood which involved several miscarriages. She also touches on her separation with one of her partners. 

We genuinely feel like this is one of our biggest, most powerful episodes we've had so far, and we really hope everyone enjoy!

We do want to say that we speak about miscarriage and infant loss in this episode; we also semi touch on themes of self-harm. So, trigger warning if you would like to continue listening or not.

In our 81st episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with a mate of Sophie’s, Kyle. We thought it was time to get a dad back on the podcast, but we were bored of our own husbands and whatever they had to say. So, we've brought in some fresh dad meat.

We ask Kyle your questions -- things that maybe you want your partner to hear, how a dad/partner can be helpful, or ways to communicate things to your partner. 

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!

Our 79th episode of Beyond the Bump is a bit different - the main portion of it we are actually talking about Botox, which isn't particularly conception, birth, pregnancy, postpartum related. 

We chat with Brooke, a cosmetic RN. She answers all your questions about Botox, is Botox safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Should you use Botox as a prevention or a cure? Who should you go to get Botox? Are there any long-term side effects of Botox? Does it hurt? And sooo much more!

In no way shape or form are we trying to pressure you into having Botox or thinking that you need to get it. We just like our listeners to be informed and we thought that this chat was extremely informative.

Brooke has a lot of knowledge in the industry, but the main reason we actually had her on the show was to talk about perimenopause. We just want to say that Botox and perimenopause are not related! It just so happened that Brooke has a personal experience of perimenopause, and she knows a shitload about Botox.

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!

In our 75th episode of Beyond the Bump, we speak to Rana. She is the mum of near two-year-old twins - they were micro preemies when they were born. Rana goes into her experience in having a high-risk pregnancy, having micro prem babies and the reality of having twins as well.

We must admit we feel so bad that it has taken us 70-something episodes to speak to the mum of preemie bubs because it is just such an all-consuming experience. So, if you're a mum out there who did have preemie bubs, sorry it's taken us this long, but we hope you really resonate with so much with what Rana said in this episode.

Also, if you are a mum of twins or preemies, Rana has recommended these amazing Facebook groups you can join for support:
