Unfortunately the world doesn't stop turning when you become a parent. And that means sometimes you have to deal with grief or big life events while you have a baby. 

In this episode Leigh and Tegan share how they got through some tough times during pregnancy and the newborn phase. 

Plus they're joined by Megan Gale, who opens up about her experience with grief when her kids were very little. 

And of course, we end today with a little chuckle in our WTF moment of the week segment. 

If this episode brings up any issues for you, please give Lifeline a call on 13 11 14.

The post-baby bod Instagram post is a part of something that's quickly becoming an epidemic. Every where you look there's talk of Mum's bouncing back after having kids, and to be honest, we're not having it anymore.

Plus Tegan shares a WTF moment of the week which actually happened to her, not long after she had her third bubba.
