In episode 33 Ben and Sara talk about week 36 of their pregnancy. The baby is now officially the size of a watermelon, and it’s safe to say that things is starting to become very heavy! Ben and the rest of the band is finally back on tour, after a year and a half of corona restrictions - so he’s currently traveling a lot.

The Baby Poodcast is a pregancypodpast for parents to be.
Sara Skjoldnes and Ben Adams is expecting their first child and have no experience what so ever. In this podcast they are documenting their pregnancy week by week.
In this episode Ben and Sara talk about week 35 of their pregnancy, as well as talking an unusual amount about gameboy references from the 80’s. References that somehow, sort of and vaguely, linked to pregnancy….
They have just been to the hospital to check that the baby is growing as it should, after being referred from their most recent routine check with their midwife (hear more about that in episode 31).
Sara gives her best tips on how to sleep better at the end of pregnancy, after (finally) cracking the code, as well as talking about some useful oils. One for stretch marks and one for something called perineum oil. The latter can be used for something called a perineum massage, which can be done from week 34 (should you wish to try it).

I denne episoden snakker Ben og Sara om uke 35 av deres graviditet, i tillegg til å snakke overraskende mye om gameboy referanser fra 80 tallet. Referanser som på en veldig vag måte er litt linket til graviditet….
Paret har nylig vært på sykehuset for å sjekke om babyen vokser som den skal, ette å ha blitt henvist videre fra en tidligere rutine time hos jordmor (hør mer om dette i episode 31).
Sara gir hennes beste tips til hvordan man kan sove litt bedre i slutten av en graviditet, etter å (endelig) ha funnet en løsning. Hun snakker også om noen nyttige oljer, er for strekkmerker og en for noe som heter perineum massage.. noe man kan gjøre for å forberede til fødsel fra uke 34, dersom dette er noe man ønsker.

I denne episoden snakker Ben og Sara om uke 34 av deres graviditet, og har invitert jordmor Sue tilbake for å snakke om hva man bør ha med i en fødeliste dersom man har planer om å ha med dette til sykehuset. Her kan man for eksempel skrive ned den gravides tanker og ønsker rundt smertelindring, om man har noen spesielle ønsker generelt, og om det eventuelt er noe viktig helsepersonellet på sykehuset bør vite.
Dette er altså en episode med mange nyttige tips dersom du er i ditt tredje semester, og fødselen begynner å nærme seg :)

The Baby Poodcast is getting closer and closer to the finish line as the pregnancy progresses. Episode 30 is all about week 33 where Sara has gone back to work, and the couple went on a road trip for the weekend - after realising that Ben goes off on tour the following week, this was probably their very last weekend in a long time where they could be completely spontaneous!
In this episode Sara and Ben also talk about the baby’s position in the womb at this point, sleepless nights as the belly grows larger and heavier, and about needing to pack their birthing bag.

Det er kun et par episoder igjen av The Baby Poodcast, nå som paret snart er i mål med graviditeten. Episode 30 handler om uke 33 som er Saras første uke tilbake på jobb etter fellesferien. Ben skal snart begynne med spillejobber igjen etter en laaaang koronapause, og kommer derfor til å være bortreist mye fremover. Sara og Ben våknet derfor opp lørdag denne uken og kom plutselig på at dette trolig var deres aller siste helg bare dem to, og uten noe planer. De reiste derfor på en spontan helgetur til høyfjellet i Telemark. Muligens parets siste spontane tur på mange mange år.
I denne episoden snakker Ben og Sara også om babyens posisjon i magen, søvnløse netter nå som magen har begynt å bli skikkelig stor og tung, og at de trenger å få pakket fødselsbagen deres asap!

In episode 29 Ben and Sara talks about week 32 of their pregnancy. Sara is about to go back to work after a nice and long summer holiday, before going on maternity leave in about 5 weeks time. Expected due date is really getting close now! A bit later in the episode they welcome back midwife Sue from The Baby Academy, who talks to Ben about the birth-partners role during birth. He certainly learned a lot from Sue, and hopefully more birth-partners out there will pick up a thing or too as well whilst listening to this podcast episode :)

I episode 29 snakker Ben og Sara om uke 32 av graviditeten. Sara skal snart tilbake på jobb etter en lang fellesferie, men kun i 5 uker før hun går ut i permisjon. Termin begynner virkelig å nærme seg med stormskritt nå! Litt senere i episoden får paret besøk av jordmor Sue fra The Baby Academy igjen. Sue snakker her med Ben om fødselspartnerens rolle under selve følelsen. Ben lærte utvilsomt mye av Sue, og forhåpentligvis er det flere fødselspartnere der ute som kan dra nytte av denne episoden :)

In this episode the couple talks about things like having the corona vaccine during pregnancy or not, getting the nursery ready, bedside cribs, and choosing the correct babyclothes and sizes for the different seasons. So basically a random but good mix of topics there :)

I episode 28 snakker Ben og Sara om uke 31 av graviditeten. Magen vokser som bare det, og babyen beveger seg mye! I denne episoden snakker paret blant annet om det å ta kornavaksine under graviditeten, gjøre barnerommet klart, fordelen med bedside krybber, og logistikken rundt det å kjøpe riktige babyklær og størrelser til riktig sesong. Så en ganske bred men god kombinasjon av temaer her :)

In episode 27 Ben and Sara talks about week 30 of their pregnancy. This episode is mainly about having a 3D scan and although they had decided not to have one ages ago, they had had a change of hart last minute. The clinic where they had the scan recommended to have it between week 26 and 30, so they booked it in just in time. To hear how it went listen into episode 27 :)

I episode 27 snakker Ben og Sara om uke 30 av graviditeten. Denne episoden handler i stor grad om 3D scanning. Selv om paret for lenge siden hadde bestemt seg for å ikke bruke penger på dette, ombestemte de seg i siste liten. Der de endte opp med å booke time var det anbefalt å utføre 3D scanningen mellom uke 26 og uke 30, så de rakk akkurat å gjøre det innenfor dette tidsrommet. Hvordan det gikk og hva de fikk ut av det kan du høre om her i episode 27 :)

The couple share some of their favourite pregnancy discoveries, and some less good. They also talk about the midwife appointment they had this week, brining them onto topics such as bump size and baby’s position in the belly. Go have a listen :)

I episode 26 snakker Ben og Sara om uke 29 av graviditeten. Denne uken er det en varmebølge i Oslo, med temperaturer over 30+ hver dag. Sara sliter med hovne føtter, og har derfor blitt en stor fan av støttestrømper. Bading og svømming er også en stor favoritt denne sommeren. Paret deler noen av de beste graviditets-tipsene de har plukket så langt, og også noen av de mindre gode som man helst kan styre unna. De hadde også en ny rutine-time hos jordmor, noe som gjør at de kommer inn på temaer som symfyse-fundus mål og barnets posisjon inne i magen.

In episode 25 of The Baby Poodcast Ben and Sara talks about week 28 of pregnancy. This episode is dedicated to Hypnobirthing, as the couple is half way through their Hypnobirth classes. They are taking their classes with Birth Story, and in this episode they welcome Nicola Wilson as their guest. Nicola is a hypnobirth instructor and founder of Birth Story, and is the one who’s currently taking Sara and Ben through their hypnobsoirthing journey.
Nicolas hypnobirth story starts back in 2016 when she was pregnant with her daughter. Having grown up with anxiety she spent much of her childhood and teenage years riding a rollercoaster of worry. Whilst she managed to control those pangs of anxiety into adulthood, as soon as she found out that she was pregnant, alongside the overwhelming joy and excitement, those familiar feelings of anxiousness crept back in. Cue a rocky first few months of morning sickness and a sense of the unknown as her body shape-shifted in a way she’d never experienced. In a bid to keep the wobbles of worry at bay and combat the tales of traumatic birth she’d grown up hearing, she made the decision to seek out hypnobirthing and was introduced to the Wise Hippo hypnobirth programme.
Having learnt, lived and loved the process of hypnobirthing, Nicola was passionate about training as a hypnobirth teacher. In creating Birth Story she hopes to not only coach couples for a relaxed yet empowered birth by teaching the Wise Hippo hypnobirth programme but also prepare you for that exciting first year of parenthood. Be it a hypnobirth toolkit, tips and tricks from a myriad of parenting experts on exercise, feeding and sleep or shared stories and support from like-minded mamas and papas when a friendly nightfeed chat is needed, she welcome you to begin your birth story right here.
