BOOBS! 

Now that we've got your attention, in this episode we discuss all things breastfeeding. From first latch to the final nursing session, we talk about our experiences with cracked nipples, pumping, introducing formula, weaning, plus SO much more. Breastfeeding is no joke and if it is something you want to learn more about, we've got you covered. Feeding your baby is such a personal journey and we just want to reiterate that regardless of how you choose to do so, you are doing the right thing! Fed is best, whatever that may look like for you and your family. 

This is such a dense episode and there are so many other things we could have shared so if you were left wanting more, or with questions, comments, or concerns related to the topic of breastfeeding and ALL that comes with it, reach out to us on socials @scrunchymompodcast. Talk to you in the next one!

Trigger Warning:  For anyone who has gone through or is going through PP anxiety, we go into detail about intrusive thoughts and obsessive thoughts/behaviours that may be triggering for some. We also discuss these heavy topics light heartedly and with humour. We want to make sure everyone knows that this is a serious condition that many women face and should be handled in whatever way you see fit. For us it is humour and laughter but for some, that may seem flippant. However you choose to deal with anxiety, we are with you and we support you! We will get through it <3 

WE'RE BACK!!!

We cannot believe it's been 8 MONTHS since our last episode. Time truly flies when you've got two incredibly busy toddlers.

WE MISSED YOU GUYS!!! We are back and better than ever! This episode is all about the amazing midwives that made our pregnancy and delivery journey a dream come true. We chat all about what made us choose midwifery care, some of the pros and cons to midwifes versus an OB, how to get yourself into midwifery care, the unparalleled postpartum care they provide new families and so much more. We cannot thank our midwifes enough for the consistent care they showed us and hope more than anything that each and every one of you find the right person to guide and support you as you navigate pregnancy and birth. Whether you choose a midwife, an OB, a combination of both or anything in between, we back your choice 100% and wish you the best of luck!

We're back again but this time we have a special guest - LAUREN! She talks us through the traumatic birth of her son Noah and all of the emotions that come along with having a birth experience that doesn't go as planned. With this episode we are hoping to shed light on the many different ways birth can pivot and expectations may have to change. At the end of the day,  a healthy mom and baby are the only thing that matters and we are so honoured that Lauren was willing to share her story with us and all of the other moms out there who may have experienced something similar and are able to relate to her story. 

TRIGGER WARNING: we discuss topics related to potential infant death, CPR on an infant and infant being transported to a NICU. Please consider your own mental health when deciding whether to listen to this episode. If you feel at all like these topics may negatively impact you, please hit pause and come back next week for something a little lighter <3

"I have to eat how many dates?!?!?!"

On this episode we discuss all of the different ways we tried to induce labour. From dates to red raspberry leaf tea, curb walking and stretching, you'll find out whether these tricks worked.... or not (hint: try Sarah's routine first haha). We also talk about how we were preparing our homes for the arrival of a baby and dive into some topics that lead right into our birth stories (think induction, writing birth plans, beginning of contractions and more).
