Bump with Steph & Laura

This week on the KICBUMP pod, Steph reflects on her own experiences as a brand new mum in that 'fourth trimester' - the period that a lot of the pregnancy/baby books forget to cover! 

She share's her own tips and tricks to help you through this challenging yet exciting time, and also has three guests share their wisdom too.

 Those guests are; Maggie (@thepeninsulamumma) a mum of two, Emma Walker (@emmacharlottew) a midwife and good friend of Steph's and Ashleigh Mason (thewomenslifephysio), our KIC physio and womens health educator. 

We hope you finish this episode feeling excited and ready for the journey ahead into motherhood. Remember our KICBUMP Fb community is there to support you, we can be your virtual mothers group. Find us on Fb and join today.

In this week’s KICBUMP episode Steph chats with Maggie Chretien, AKA, The Peninsula Mumma.

As two mums who have openly shared their experience with sleep school, Steph & Maggie discuss the judgment they have received on social media and the ways in which they have learnt to cope with unsolicited opinions. 

Together they dive into tips on managing mum guilt, the power and importance of communication and body acceptance. Maggie opens up about her postnatal anxiety and how Googling is 'a no from me’.

We admire and adore Maggie’s strength and transparency and hope that new & expectant mums will feel more confident in themselves and their skin after listening to this episode.
