Welcome to The Borne Podcast, a deep dive into the world of pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Join Ellie Gibson, Caro Tasker and Professor Mark Johnson as they uncover real birth stories, provide expert insights from leading scientists, and engage in in-depth discussions exploring women’s reproductive health, the challenges of pregnancy, and the complexities of premature birth.
We’ll be returning for a second series of The Borne Podcast very soon, but until then we wanted to bring you some of the best bits from series one, in handy bite-sized chunks. We packed so much information and so many experts into our first six episodes, we wanted to make sure you didn’t miss anything – and you can hear the stories and interviews in full by listening to The Borne Podcast, available wherever you get you podcasts.
In this episode of Borne Bitesize, we’ll hear from psychotherapist and author, Anna Mathur. In this bitesized bit of episode 3, she talks about parenting, support networks, and the importance giving yourself a break.
Borne is a medical research charity dedicated to unravelling the mysteries behind premature birth. Our mission is to unite scientists and doctors in advancing our understanding of pregnancy, identifying risks of preterm birth, and developing ground-breaking treatments to prevent it.
