This Mama’s Hip

People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one! Sleep - the topic that gets a lot of air time and we probably will never quite have enough time to cover SLEEP! We break down our experiences of bringing home our gorgeous babies and throw ourselves into this thing called sleep deprivation! Is it manageable, yes, we are not here to rain on on anyone's parade but instead tell you that every baby is different, everyone's experience is different and there is no one more in this world you would sacrifice sleep and everything else for - except your precious little bundle!

Reliving the most miraculous, joyful moments of our life....when our babies were born! The moment that changes your life forever! Lets not forget the moments of self doubt, the pain and panic that also happens along the way! Expectations VS Reality, LOL! Can you really plan the perfect birth?? We live to tell the tale!

Disclaimer: This is simply our own journeys and experience of birth. Our opinions are solely just that our opinions, please always seek your own medical advice on any of the topics discussed in today's episode!

Have you ever wondered if there is more to pregnancy than morning sickness and maternity jeans? Well, your mind will be blown when you hear some of the weird sh!t and left of field (or embarrassing to put it mildly) symptoms and cravings we experienced! In this episode we did not hold back on our ethos, this is not sugar coated and we assure you, this will put some humor into your parenthood journey! Get ready to blush on our behalf!!

Trigger Warning: Yes, its true, we do talk a lot of sh!t, but today is the day, we really talk about poo. You might wonder how we could muster up enough content to talk sh!t for 20 minutes, but with our experiences it was not hard! Have a listen, enjoy a laugh, but maybe don't eat your lunch over this one!

Dr. Google and the phantom Illnesses! The adrenaline rush is high when you start googling generic symptoms, the prognosis can break you!! We talk tales on some of the things we have diagnosed our babies with! DISCLAIMER: While we recount our experiences with humour through lol-tinted glasses, it's important to note, we are NOT medical professionals and its important that you always seek your own medical advice from professionals.
