Have you ever met someone whose strength and resilience left you utterly inspired? 
Haylea, our guest this week on The Kick, embodies that spirit as she takes us through her remarkable journey to motherhood. 

Bracing for childbirth, especially under the shadow of health concerns, can be a profound experience. Haylea walks us through her pre-labor decisions, managing Clexane injections, and the deliberation that went into inducing labor at 38 weeks for her and her baby's safety.

How will I be a mum when I can’t even control my own emotions?

In this 'Let's Chat' episode, we talk with Katie about the added complexity a diagnosis, initially of depression and anxiety, then bipolar disorder, has on pregnancy. A mental health issue is daunting enough for most people but Katie had also just moved to a new town without her usual supports. Katie speaks so truthfully about her early feelings of whether she should even be a mum and how, with the right treatment, she got to the other side. It is a really insightful and considered chat, essential listening to anyone who either has mental health issues or is a support person, and who are going through the big beautiful journey of becoming MAMA.
