In this episode, I hear about Holly's traumatic experience as a First Time Mum.

Forget that her due date was to be the day after the day she was to marry the man of her dreams.

Forget that she had just fully paid for the whole amazingly beautiful wedding. 

Forget that she had just begun a new role at work and the next week found out she was pregnant.

Just forget everything and have a listen to poor Holly's story.

Lisa, is a lady a met at Mother's group. We were both lucky enough to breastfeed and both our babies were boobie monsters - they loved breastmilk and sometimes loved it more than solids!

We both ended up exclusively breastfeeding and are nowing trying to work out how to wean them off. I have weaned Milla off, but Lisa is just beginning the weaning process. This episode is a bit about Lisa's story of pregnancy, birth and ultimately our breastfeeding and weaning journey.

We are up to 30 episodes – woo hoo! Wow this adventure has taken me totally out of my comfort zone, but it has been so rewarding and who better to chat to in a milestone episode than, Lisa and Helen from Mama Loves to Share.

Lisa and Helen are such relaxed, down to earth and funny ladies. We laughed, got super inappropriate and then laughed some more. Download this episode and hear how Lisa and Helen handled being a mum for the first time.

P.S There are so many tangents in this episode, and lots of back tracking back to what we were originally talking about – enjoy listening to this tangled web of an episode.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to have a good friend of mine, Melissa, who has just been through the 4th trimester chat to me. We had a chat around the recovery after birth, not only physical but the mental and emotional recovery. One of the most popular topics of discussion during the fourth trimester is the F word - Feeding, how did Melissa handle the journey in deciding which way to feed. Also, Melissa reveals some surprises she encountered during the last three months and the switch from corporate working girl to mum life.

I am now a solo podcaster - how has this change come about?

I discuss the work life balance and how diffictult it is to transition back to work now that you have a little munchkin at home. What are the ways in which you organise yourself to balance work and life and how do you manage the change?

Episode 24 is a mixed bag of topics. We begin discussing out 1 year olds newest sleeping phase and how we are dealing with it. Now that our babies are older we are starting to feel the effects of how our bodies have changed and the help we have sought to help ourselves. Abdominal separation how to test for it and pelvic floor. Finally, we talk about tampons vs pads, what do you use?

A quick episode to discuss how our beach vacay has gone, what we have been doing, what we packed and what we would do for next time.

There is some crackling towards the end of the episode and I can't seem to edit it out.
