Hello busties! 

Thank you so much for being patient with us last week while we took a short break from recording - all shall be revealed in this week's episode. Thank you also to everyone that reached out during the week, it's been so lovely to hear from you all! 

The next two episodes are part one and two of 'The Call is Coming From Inside the House,' an honest chat about a real first hand experience from start to finish. We chat early pregnancy, mystic meg, spaghetti bolognese, support from your friends and the joyful hormonal hostage situation. 

We do talk about some sensitive topics in both episodes, so we've listed potential triggers here (if we have missed any we're so sorry, please let us know and we'll add them immediately!): pregnancy loss, miscarriage, depression, parental death, medical procedures, abortion 

Thank you to everyone who has left us a review so far, we're so grateful and we absolutely love connecting with you all <3 If you leave us a five star review (currently only available on apple podcasts but if you've left us a five star rating elsewhere, send us your comment or review via e-mail and we'll still read it!!) we'll read it on Pod, so questions, comments, nice stuff about us, we'll discuss it!

Thank you for joining us this week, see you soon busties! <3

hello busties!! on this week's episode of my strange addiction... sorry, that's Oh, You'll Change Your Mind, rather... we've compiled a big long list of no-no's from across the web when it comes to pregnancy. 

We chat about foods to avoid (it's a long and painful list), the dangers of boost juice, dad jokes, activities that put you at risk (downhill skiing we're looking at you), multi-level marketing schemes, my strange addiction, and good old dirt cravings??? 

Just a heads up, for the first 14 mins 44 seconds of this episode we had microphone issues so if the sound is a bit whack that's why! 

Also we mention a tiktok creator who offers 'edible alternatives to forbidden snacks' they are @mads.wingswaldegan and video one is here -> https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSResPeuE/?k=1

as always, we LOVE hearing your stories and we would love to have some more to share on the pod, any five star reviews will be read on pod, so if you have questions, feedback, funny jokes, we're all ears! This week especially, hit us up in the reviews, our DMs on insta, our e-mail, with any 'old wives tales' or myths you've heard about pregnancy (things like, if you're carrying low the baby will be a boy etc)

thank you for listening this week busties!! see you next week <3

'You might feel some pressure' ''It might be a little uncomfortable' 'You might feel a pinch' 'cramping, bleeding, nausea, all normal' 

Anyone else hear those words and just... shudder?

On this week's episode we're discussing a universal women's issue - healthcare! Specifically, how the healthcare system fails women on a daily basis. We dive into a raw analysis of our own experiences with reproductive healthcare, and some of our fears and trepidations with embarking on a path that relies so heavily on the healthcare system! We do get pretty raw on this episode, so here are some potential trigger warnings, as some topics may be sensitive to some listeners (if there are any missing, we're very sorry! Please let us know and we'll add them immediately):

Description of medical procedures, mention of abortion, mention of depression and suicide, mention of endometriosis

Baby Stations video is here, from very smart creator @birthdoula ---> https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSdo38K56/?k=1

This week is a very special episode, as this is something that we're sure every single woman has experienced at some point in their life, whether it's related to birth control, or gynaecological procedures, or just generally being dismissed by healthcare providers, we've all been there. So this week we would especially LOVE if you could send us through your stories, via DM or e-mail, so we can share and discuss on pod (confidentiality assured!) and we can all feel a little closer and a little less alone <3

Hello lovely listeners!

Thank you for tuning in to episode five of 'Oh! You'll Change Your Mind!' This week we discuss some sensitive topics, which we've listed just here for you - if you find any of them triggering we won't be offended if you don't listen ♥️

TRIGGER WARNING

death, murder, death of a parent, death of a partner or spouse, cancer, suicide mention, miscarriage, infant death, abortion

In this week's episode, we have a candid chat about all the 'What Ifs' surrounding death and grief in relation to trying to conceive, pregnancy, childbirth and parenting. We discuss our experiences with loss of our own parents, our feelings around death anxiety, and the metaphysical. This week's episode is the first in a series of 'what if' scenarios that anxiety has made us think about ~constantly~ (if you have any crazy what if scenarios that your brain has tricked you into stressing about, let us know!! we're all on this brain ride together) 

(if there's any potential triggers we have missed, we are so sorry, please DM us and we'll add the trigger to the above list immediately)

You can share your stories, feedback, questions, guest and topic suggestions, fun facts here:

We love hearing from you, and every review and rating you leave us brings us joy, and helps the algorithm push our little pod to other people just like all of us who might need to listen <3

See you next week busties xx love ya

Hello beautiful listeners! Thank you so much for our first five star review, it truly made our hearts happy to read it and we appreciate it endlessly! Just a reminder that if you leave us a five star review, we'll read it on pod (because we LOVE reading them) <3

Can you believe we launched this little pod baby a month ago this week?! Neither can we! Join us this week as we check in with how we're going so far before we launch into the rest of the season with special guests! We talk about some of our personal experiences with parents and children from the past few weeks, what's going on in our own baby baking journeys, jeff goldblum, frankenstein and a lovely list from the depths of the internet comparing reasons why you should and shouldn't have a baby (hold onto your seats babes, this one gets a bit wild).

Talk to you next week busties xx

Dear Dolly Doctor, 

I've recently had a baby, and when I showed up to a dinner with my friends and an acquaintance said 'aw is the dad babysitting tonight haha,' and I was just speechless! How do I even respond?

Signed, he's a parent not a babysitter

This week we chat all things expectations and assumptions to do with parenting for women and men (particularly how little it takes to be heralded as an amazing dad versus how little it takes to be considered a shitty mum), Ali Wong, the mental load, Phil Dunphy, and stigma for stay at home parents.  

If you would like to chat with us (we LOVE hearing from our listeners), you can find us at:

Hello lovely listeners - in this episode we discuss all things family and social pressure - let it be known to all that we are in fact individuals with very enriched lives, not just ovens for baking mini sourdough baby loaves thank yew!!

As always, we love hearing your feedback! Leave us a rating and a review so the algorithm pushes this to who might need to hear it, and any five star reviews will be read on the pod!! Ask us questions, tell us fun things, we'll read it! 

Love ya goonbags xx

Have you ever expressed you don't want to have kids, and someone drops ole faithful, 'oh you'll change your mind one day' ? Are you rolling your eyes right now? So are we! 

Welcome to 'Oh! You'll Change Your Mind' - we are Shannon and Frankie, two childless women (whose bodies are screaming BABY!) who have started this podcast to talk about EVERYTHING related to pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood - nothing is off the table!!

In this episode we introduce ourselves, our pod, and what the season is going to contain - just two goonbags having an honest talk about 'motherhood' and creating a safe space for people who are just like us! 

We would also like to add that both of us are in hetero-normative relationships - we're both cis women married to cis men, so our experiences and the way we relate to what we discuss in our pod are coloured by that lens. Not because we don't support our LGBTQI+ siblings (we're both Bi 'till we die!), but because we don't want to speak on behalf of communities we're not a part of about experiences that aren't ours!

E-mail us - [email protected]

We would love to hear from you! Questions you want answered, topics you want us to talk about, people you want us to interview, we want to know it all! 

Also any five star reviews will be read on the pod!!! We want to make sure this gets to people who might need to hear it (bigotry of any kind will NOT be tolerated thank yew) 

okay enjoy episode one! later goonbags! xxx
