Part 2: Post Baby 
Today we visit Demi in hospital with husband Mitch to get all the details from Demi's emergency c-section of her son, Parker James Duncan.
What Demi once thought was going to be a "boring planned c-section" turned into baby #4 arriving two weeks early and Mitch missing a game of footy to make a mad rush home from Adelaide in time for the birth! 
Topics covered:
- Maternal-assisted cesarean 
- Water breaking early + risk of infection
- Mitch making the call to miss his game of football
- Instant guilt at birth for not giving Scarlet (Demi's daughter) a sister after having her 3rd son 
- Spinal blocks and the perpetration before c-sections
- Difficulty deciding on a name for Parker

Today's chat is for all of our business girlies!! 
Phoebe Simmonds, owner of The Memo, the famous online and boutique store front for parents; Your feel good parenting destination to help make big decisions, easy. Here, you can find a quality curation of the best baby brands on the planet and everything a new parent needs to feel good, prepared and supported when raising a child.
An inspiring business chat that we recorded in Phoebe's flagship boutique store in Armadale. We chatted in depth about where the idea of The Memo came from and how they found such a gap in the market when it came to giving parents-to-be / parents more than just product information, instead they provide an experience and education when shopping and handpick key essential items instead of stocking everything making it a little less overwhelming for parents to making decisions on things.

You will be able to feel Lorinska's upbeat energy through your speakers! She is so fun and we loved having her in the studio! 
Lorinska is a mum of 3, Penelope, Florence and Edward. 
Lorinska famously leads a glamorous life but chats to us about how her perfect world flipped upside down after giving birth to her 3rd child, Edward! All her parenting tricks and techniques that worked for her older two "perfectly behaved" girls, doesn't work on her darling son! She chats about how she could never relate to sleep deprived parents and has since drastically changed the way she speaks about parenting. 
We chat about her "overnight" fame with the hit series, Yummy Mummies and how life changed from it's debut to Netflix! 
Life is chaotic for Lorinska but she bares all to her loyal followers and loves every second of her the challenges!

#34 Missta Mums: Demi talks baby essentials, the girls give a business update & Mel’s life update!

This episode is proudly brought to you by Womb Nutrition, Fauve and Co and The Beauty Company. 


We sit down with (another) one of Demi's friends, Candice Smith. Wife to Isaac Smith, mother of 2, (Isla and Emmett) and co-owner of Home At Heart. 
Candice, for the first time speaks openly about the traumatic period in their life when their son, Emmett, was diagnosed with CMV (Cytomegalovirus). What started with a failed hearing test at birth which was assumed to be fluid in the ears lead to a much more serious diagnosis. 
Candice then speaks honestly about her miscarriage after Emmett, in which she felt "relieved" as she was beginning to recover from the trauma of her sons diagnosis. She acknowledges this may be hard to hear for many women. After time passed, the pair tried for another baby in an attempt to grow their family which unfortunately resulted in another miscarriage. 
They still hope to grow their family and Candice shares her mental strength as she endures the pain of miscarriage.
