Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery: Kath Baquie from FitNest Mama

Join me as I spill the milk with Mel, mum of a 10 month old baby girl.

Mel experienced morning sickness, weight gain, pelvic girdle pain and was 10 days passed my due date when she gave birth.

She had a vaginal delivery after being induced and her pain relief included morphine and gas and even though she had hired a TENS machine, she didn't use it once.

Even though she had wanted to labour at home as much as possible and have a water birth she reports she had a wonderful team of midwives who were supportive and competent.

I trust you will love listening to Mel's story.

Welcome to another Spilling the Milk Series where I chat to a range of amazing mums who have been through it all.

During this series, my guests talk candidly and openly about their pregnancy journeys, challenges along the way, their birth story, and importantly we also discuss the 4th trimester and beyond - we talk recovery, mental health, physical health and everything else that goes along with this journey we call motherhood.

Today’s chat is with the lovely mum of two, Sarah Marie Fahd.

Sarah Marie describes how she went into labour earlier than her planned Caesarean booking, she describes the joys and challenges of being a mum of two.  This interview perfectly describes the reality of the juggle of motherhood. 

We had to stop recording a few times due to babies and dogs and that is the reality of having a chat with any mum who has a 4 week old baby and a family. 

I trust you are going to love this chat today, no matter if you are planning a vaginal birth or a caesarean birth, enjoy.

Today I chat with Nat Kringoudis, a natural health expert, and we discuss fertility and wellness.

Nat aims to inspire wellness, not only to those embarking on becoming parents, but equally important to her, educating young women of how their choices shape their reproductive health.  And our conversation does branch into this, so if you are raising young children, especially daughters, this conversation will be important to you.

But whether or not you have daughters, or you want babies in the future, or perhaps perimenopausal symptoms are creeping up on you, or perhaps you are just not happy with your period and cycle, then this episode will no doubt be really valuable.

Today we discuss:

• How hormonal imbalance can cause infertility
• What are some common signs or symptoms of hormonal imbalance that may affect fertility?
• What are first steps for someone wanting to find out about their hormones
• How can we balance our hormones for fertility (and beyond).
• And we discuss birth control in our younger adults, and all sorts of really important, amazing information regarding our hormones and how this impacts our life.

Firstly, congrats.  You’re a mum!

A whole new world has opened up.

Even if you thought you were prepared, I am guessing motherhood has been an amazing ride.

Today. I am broaching the topic of weight loss after birth, which I don't usually don’t do.

I usually avoid this topic.

For me and my program, FitNest Mama, it isn’t about weight loss.  Our physical recovery program post birth is about that inner strength.  Feeling better inside/out.

Regaining our confidence.

It’s about the huge correlation between physical and mental health.

It's not about weight loss. 

However, from surveying over 500 members who have been through FitNest Mama, I know it is a common goal post birth.

So in this episode I discuss about different ways of reframing postpartum goals to help make them manageable, and achievable.
