Parenting

They say hindsight is 20/20 and looking back on our first few months as parents we can definitely say there are some things we nailed… and definitely others we failed.
Some of us (Luca) might not remember the finer details, but today we’re retracing our first steps into parenthood.
So what can we give ourselves a pat on the back for? And what did we let go through to the keeper?

The First 4 Months Are NOT What We Expected: Jessie & Luca's Parenting Experience

A lot has happened since you last heard from us. For one, Jessie had a baby! 
But her labour and birth didn't exactly go to plan...
So today we've brought in Jessie's partner Luca so the two of them can discuss it from both sides of the experience, from the first contraction to when they met baby Luna. Consider this an experiment into how well our partners are paying attention in the delivery room.
Everyone's experience is unique. Always seek medical advice to find what's right for you. 
If you're struggling postpartum, you can find local support here.

In The Delivery Room With Jessie & Luca (And Baby Luna)

Congrats, you did it! The arrival of a new baby is an exciting time but it can also be incredibly challenging. Healing emotionally and physically, navigating sleep schedules, breastfeeding, nappies, mental health and adjusting to the new dynamic - it’s a lot.
In this episode, we'll discuss what to expect in the first 6 weeks with a new baby. We'll speak with Postpartum doula Dr. Renee White about asking for help and creating a supportive network to lean on.
Plus we'll hear from clinical psychiatrist Dr. Lisa Myers about the very real mental health challenges that can come up during the fourth trimester.
