Stretch Marks episodes:

October 18, 2022 The Self Care Stretch
This is the last episode of season 2, proudly supported by Pregnacare. To wrap up, we're taking it back to you: the mother. What does self care look like for you? Have you time for it? Is it another stretch? Is it one thing too many on your to do list? How do we take care of ourselves? In this episode we also hear from listeners who share their most significant stretches so far and the micro moments of calm that bring them back to centre. Stay tuned for future episodes and follow us on @stretchmarkspodcast for more.

October 12, 2022 The Birth Stretch
The birth stretch: in this episode Sinead and Caroline finally share a similar experience and that's two very positive birthing experiences (or 3 if you count the number of kids between them). They recount their birth stories, the highs and lows, the contractions, the tears, the absolute overwhelm of coming out the other side and everything else. Of course, not everyone's experience of bringing their baby into the world is a positive one. For many, there's also trauma, panic, emergencies and that is certainly reflected in the polls and questions and DMs that are always weaved into the episode. This episode is supported by Pregnacare.

October 04, 2022 The Feeding Stretch
This episode is supported by Pregnacare. Here, Caroline and Sinead share their respective experiences with feeding: from boob to bottle and everything along the way. Feeding is perhaps the biggest stretch of all. One that brings a lot of stress (if you're having difficulty) and also plenty of other people's opinions. We hear from listeners about their baby feeding experiences in those first few formative months before solids are introduced and they're eating waffles off the floor.

September 27, 2022 The Getting Pregnant Stretch
This episode, supported by Pregnacare, explores the trying to conceive stretch which can take such an emotional, physical and mental toll. Getting that positive result on the pregnancy test, wondering if it will ever happen for you, assuming it will happen the second time because it worked for you the first time. As always, with involvement from our listeners and instagram followers in our polls and questions, we try to voice the lived experience of Irish women on their varying journeys to motherhood.

September 20, 2022 The Pregnancy Stretch
Welcome to The Pregnancy Stretch: the mother of all stretches and where it all begins. This episode is proudly supported by Pregnacare, offering a range of supplements to see you through conception, pregnancy and beyond. For this episode, Caroline and Sinead once again share their experiences - both of which differ immensely, as per usual - while hearing from you about how your pregnancy/pregnancies went, from the joyous moments of first kicks to the worry and everything in between.

September 13, 2022 The Toddler Stretch
In this episode of Stretch Marks, we are talking all things toddlers. The tantrums, the negotiating and how to keep sane through what can be a bumpy year or two (which, of course, can still be filled with so much love and countless gorgeous moments). Again, Carolines comes at this from the perspective of a first timer, while Sinead has learned by toddler number 2 to ride the waves. Follow us on @StretchMarksPodcast for more.

August 30, 2022 The Judgement Stretch
This week, supported by DropChef (listen for our *discount code), we're talking about judgement. The judgement we experience from others when we become parents.

August 23, 2022 The Career Stretch
This episode, supported by DropChef (listen for our *discount code), is all about the career stretch.
The going back to work stretch, the trying to juggle it with childcare stretch, the 'how do I pick up where I left off?' stretch, the 'is it really worth my while working when I have to pay so much for childcare?' stretch. The gender stretch. There's a HUGE amount of stretching in this part of parenting; maybe you don't want to go back to work. Maybe you have to. Maybe you really want to. Every situation is valid and worthy of support and as always, we have much to discuss.

We have a lot of listener input on this one too; we are always grateful for your input via our polls and questions over on Instagram @StretchMarksPodcast so do join us there and enter our competition to win a DropChef Family Subscription for 1 month!
