This week, I’m joined by the wonderful Helen, an incredible mum of 2 who I’ve had the honour of supporting through my YPJ - Your Pregnancy and Postnatal Journey programme. Although Helen prepared for her first birth in all the ways we’re told we “should,” the experience itself was not close to what she wanted.

]]> 2017 no E222. Pelvic Floor Secrets No One Told Pelvic Floor Secrets No One Told You with Clare Bourne   Today we’re diving into one of the most misunderstood and most transformative parts of pregnancy prep: your pelvic floor. These are the muscles that quietly hold everything together, influence how you birth, shape your recovery, and even affect how you feel in your body long after the baby arrives. Yet for so many women, the pelvic floor only becomes a topic after something goes wrong. In this episode, pelvic health physiotherapist, author, and educator Clare Bourne @clarebournephysio joins us to pull back the curtain on what’s really happening in your body during pregnancy and birth. Clare has guided thousands of women through evidence-based, practical birth prep that replaces fear with confidence. Settle in as we explore why your pelvic floor deserves a starring role in your birth plan, how to actually prepare it for labour, and what meaningful recovery looks like beyond the myths, mixed messages, and “just do your Kegels” advice. This is the conversation every mum-to-be should hear.   Extra Resources: 📚Midwife Pip’s Guide to a Positive Birth: https://www.midwifepip.com/midwife-pip-books 💫 Feel calm, confident, and fully supported through pregnancy with Midwife Pip ‘DM” -  “YPJ” on Instagram: @midwife_pip Connect with Pip: Instagram: @midwife_pip Facebook: Midwife PipEmail: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Sponsorship Opportunities: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us If this episode resonated with you, please follow, rate, and leave a short review -  it truly helps more mums find this support and reassurance.

]]> 2714 E221. What About Dad? The Side of Parenthood Men Rarely Talk About with Mathew Lewis Carter What About Dad? Mathew Lewis Carter Opens Up on the Reality of Fatherhood. Dads are often profoundly affected by pregnancy and parenthood, even if their experiences are less visible. Many feel pressure to stay strong and supportive while quietly navigating their own fears, identity shifts, and emotional challenges. The transition to fatherhood can trigger changes in mental health, especially when sleep deprivation, financial pressures, or relationship strain enter the picture. And because society tends to focus primarily on mothers, dads can feel sidelined, unsupported, or unsure of where to turn when they’re struggling. In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Mathew Lewis Carter @mathewlcarter @secretlifeofdads brings to light a side of parenthood that is too often overlooked: the emotional and mental health struggles fathers face behind the scenes. From the unexpected weight of postnatal depression to challenges, Mathew shares the reality so many dads live but rarely speak about. Together, we explore why men’s experiences are so often dismissed, how these struggles impact relationships and identity, and what real support for fathers should look like. This is an episode for anyone who has felt unheard in their journey to parenthood, and for every family who wants to understand the full picture of what it means to become a parent today.

What’s it really like to be pregnant with, and raise twins, triplets or more? In this episode of the Midwife Pip Podcast, Pip is joined by Helen Peck, Head of Healthcare Engagement and Research at the Twins Trust, for an honest, heart-warming and eye-opening conversation about life with multiples. From high-risk pregnancies and neonatal care to feeding decisions, exhaustion, and the magic of watching tiny humans grow side by side, nothing is off the table. Helen shares her own powerful story as a mum to identical twins, born after a complex and anxious pregnancy, and how a chance connection with the Twins Trust became her lifeline  and eventually her life’s work. Together, Pip and Helen unpack the realities parents of multiples face: the isolation, the overwhelm, the relentless logistics… and the joy, humour and unbreakable bonds that only families of multiples truly understand. From what parents of twins and triplets wish they’d known during pregnancy to the importance of specialist care, informed choice, and having a voice.  Whether you’re expecting multiples, supporting someone who is, or simply fascinated by the extraordinary strength of parents who do this every day, this episode will leave you feeling informed, reassured, and deeply inspired.

We wouldn’t dream of sending our children to childcare with dirty toilets or unsafe toys, yet so many settings serve food that barely meets the mark. In this episode, we’re lifting the lid on what’s really being served to our children, and why their nutrition deserves far more attention than it’s getting. Why Nurseries Are Failing Children at Mealtimes… with Catherine Lippe If you’re a parent, you probably check the toilets, the toys, and the teaching before choosing a nursery. But how often do you check the food? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Catherine Lippe, registered nutritionist and early-years specialist, to uncover the truth about nutrition in childcare and the silent standards slipping under the radar. We explore why nutrition in early years matters far more than most people realise, how current systems are failing children, and what needs to change to protect their health and development. From packed lunches to nursery menus, Catherine shares the real-world solutions that help parents and childcare providers raise healthier, happier children, without guilt or overwhelm.

But what if humour isn’t just a coping mechanism, it’s a lifeline? In this episode, we explore how laughter might just be the secret to staying sane in the chaos of raising kids.” Comedy Meets Chaos: Parenting with Russell Kane Parenthood is the wildest ride of all, one minute you’re on top of the world, the next you’re wondering how it all went off track. If you’ve ever found yourself clinging on for dear life, exhausted but still smiling, this one’s for you. This week I’m joined by Russell Kane, award-winning comedian, writer, and dad to his daughter Minna. Known for his razor-sharp wit and honest takes on modern family life, Russell brings a refreshingly funny  and surprisingly heartfelt perspective on surviving the chaos of parenting. We dive into dad guilt, gender roles, and the comedy in everyday family madness from school runs to birthday party meltdowns. Because sometimes, the only way to make it through is to laugh. So grab a cuppa, take a breath, and join us for a candid, laugh-out-loud conversation that reminds us all: it’s not about being perfect parents,  it’s about staying sane, together.

If you’ve ever found yourself clinging on for dear life, exhausted but still smiling, this one’s for you. This week I’m joined by Russell Kane, award-winning comedian, writer, and dad to his daughter Minna. Known for his razor-sharp wit and honest takes on modern family life, Russell brings a refreshingly funny  and surprisingly heartfelt perspective on surviving the chaos of parenting. We dive into dad guilt, gender roles, and the comedy in everyday family madness from school runs to birthday party meltdowns. Because sometimes, the only way to make it through is to laugh. So grab a cuppa, take a breath, and join us for a candid, laugh-out-loud conversation that reminds us all: it’s not about being perfect parents,  it’s about staying sane, together.

Your Children Don’t Need Perfect, They Need YOU Your Children Don’t Need Perfect, They Need You  With Anna Mathur What if the pressure to be the perfect mum is the very thing stealing your joy? In a world that celebrates doing it all, this episode is your permission slip to stop striving and start being, because your children don’t need perfect, they need present. This episode is for every mother who’s ever whispered to herself, “Am I doing enough?” If you’ve felt the guilt of not getting it all right, or the exhaustion of trying to live up to impossible standards, you’re not alone. Together with psychotherapist, mum of three, and Sunday Times bestselling author Anna Mathur, we’re unravelling the myth of the “perfect mother” and replacing it with something far more powerful: being a good-enough one. We explore the hidden pressures modern mums face, how to find compassion in the chaos, and why letting go of perfection might be the most loving thing you can do for yourself  and your family. Anna also shares insights from her new book, The Good Decision Diary, on how to make calmer, kinder choices in motherhood without the all-or-nothing guilt spiral. So take a breath, grab a cup of tea, and join us for a heartfelt reminder: motherhood isn’t about perfection,  it’s about presence, progress, and permission to be human.

Why Paternity Leave is Failing Families Why Paternity Leave is Failing Families With Alex Lloyd Hunter Many dads feel under-supported in their role as fathers because traditional gender norms still often place the primary caregiving focus on mothers. While times are slowly changing, many workplaces offer limited paternity leave, making it difficult for dads to bond with their newborns in those crucial early weeks. Even when paternity leave is available, there can be pressure—social or professional—to return to work quickly, reinforcing the outdated idea that a father’s primary role is financial rather than emotional. Without strong support systems, from employers to parenting communities, many dads struggle to feel included and confident in their role, missing out on key bonding opportunities that are so important for both them and their children.  This week I am joined by Alex Lloyd Hunter a UK-based advocate for improved paternity leave and co-founder of The Dad Shift, an organisation dedicated to campaigning for better paternity leave policies in the UK. After becoming a dad, he recognised the significant barriers that limited fathers' involvement in bonding with and caring for their family.

With Ciara McClarey


As a mum I completely understand the constant niggling worry about your baby’s developmental milestones and I drove myself mad with my first son who didn’t seem to do the physical things as fast as his peers so this week’s episode is here so you don’t fall into the trap I did. 

 

This week I am joined by Ciara McClarey, a Clinical Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist. She specialises in the physical development of babies and children and diagnosis and management of conditions that can affect the muscles and joints during childhood. Ciara is passionate about spreading awareness of baby and child development and how parents can help to support their little one’s gross motor development and when to seek support and provides evidence-based information via her online profile IG account @thechildphysio.

With Lisa Broome As a parent, one of your primary wishes is to keep your child well and healthy, its inbuilt in us as parents to try and achieve this and protect our little ones. That’s perhaps why 57% of parents surveyed by One Poll for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said having a sick child is the most stressful aspect of family life, significantly higher than stressors like welcoming a new baby into the family (15%).   The poll also found that nearly half of parents surveyed (49%) reported having to miss work due to their child being ill. For many, this disruption is also a frequent occurrence. Over 1 in 5 parents (23%) surveyed state their child is unwell once every few months whilst 12% experience their child being ill multiple times in a month. Most common coughs or colds can be mild and difficult to avoid. But more serious infections that can cause serious illness, hospitalisation and lifelong disabilities are rising too, and it’s a good time to be thinking about how we protect babies and young children from these diseases with vaccination.   Health officials from the UK Health Security Agency are urging parents to check their children’s vaccinations are up to date, amid fears of a ‘back to school surge’ of diseases like measles and whooping cough due to falling vaccine uptake rates.   To give your child the best protection from these illnesses, it's important that their vaccines are up to date. Vaccines prevent over 5,000 deaths and over 100,000 hospital admissions each year in England, if your child isn’t vaccinated, they’re not protected. But there is a lot of misinformation and a lack of knowledge for parents around vaccinations.    This week I am joined by a vaccination guru and registered nurse, Lisa Broome. Lisa has joined us to answer some of the most common questions and concerns parents have around vaccinations and the advice/tips she gives to help them navigate child immunisations and sometimes the fear of the unknown for some parents.

How to protect, heal and nurture your body through Motherhood Emma Brockwell You are pregnant, and just like that your body starts undertaking huge physiological and psychological change. I think sometimes we, as women, forget that during pregnancy your entire system is adapted as your body focuses on growing a new little human being. Parts become stretched, weakened and shifted as your little one thrives and develops. Then there is the matter of childbirth and regardless of how this may happen for you it is a momentous time and arguably the biggest challenge your body will ever undergo. But you can’t just put your feet up and recover as a new mum, you have a baby to care for and are often sleep deprived. And so all too often the incredible journey your body and mind have been on get forgotten and your nurturing and healing are neglected. But on this week’s episode I am joined by an amazing guest, specialist women’s health physiotherapist, mum and now author Emma Brockwell. Emma is a woman on a mission to empower and inform women about the changes taking place in pregnant and postpartum bodies and to support them on a journey to recovery in the right way. Women have, for far too many years thought that many embarrassing or unpleasant conditions relating to women’s health were normal and something we should put up with. But the good news is that they are absolutely not, and Emma believes that all women should be informed and empowered with tools to look after and nurture their amazing bodies throughout pregnancy and motherhood.    Emma Brockwell is a Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. She treats women of all ages with all women’s health related conditions. She is passionate about pre and postnatal rehabilitation and exercise. She specialises in enabling women back to exercise, particularly running if they have any pelvic health dysfunction or are postnatal. She has co-authored the first ‘Returning to Running Postnatal Guidelines’ and has spoken about this subject at many medical and exercise conferences. Emma has written for many magazines including Women’s Running and Women’s Health magazine and has a book out in February 2021 called ‘Why did no one tell me? how to heal protect and nurture your body through motherhood.’ Emma founded and leads a Walk and Running club, Oxted Ladies Run Club. She is the co-founder of Pelvic Roar a physiotherapy led collaboration aiming to promote and unite all things ‘pelvic health’.

]]> 2216 E164. BITESIZE | What is Hypnobirthing? https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast This Bitesize Clip is taken from Episode 15... To listen to the full episode go back and listen to Episode 15. What is Hypnobirthing? Google anything to do with labour and you will likely hear the term ‘Hypnobirthing’. But it is not about chanting with charms and crystals, in fact that is a huge misconception! At its core, Hypnobirthing aims to help a woman deal with any fear or anxiety around birth and aims to equip you with methods to help you stay calm, relaxed and in control.  On this week’s episode I am delighted to be joined by Abby @abby_loveyourbirth , an experienced Hypnobirthing teacher and teacher trainer. Abby and I talk about how the practices of hypnobirthing compliment your body’s physiology in labour. By enabling your body and mind to be relaxed, birth can be less painful, quicker and a very positive experience.  Abby is based in West Yorkshire, with many years’ experience teaching hypnobirthing to expectant parents and also training and mentoring others to become hypnobirthing teachers she is the perfect guest for this weeks podcast chat.

How to support your child as they develop with Professor Sam Wass https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast How your child’s brain develops and how to support them Professor Sam Wass The government recently found that 4 in 5 parents are unaware that their child’s brain is 90% grown by the age of five, shedding light on a critical gap in parents’ understanding of the impact they can have during these crucial early years. Whilst most of us recognise the importance of reading stories before bedtime or roleplaying real-life scenarios with toys, despite not always having the time to do so, a new campaign called Little Moments Together aims to shine a light on the smaller everyday moments that we often overlook which positivity benefit brain development. I am excited to be joined by this week’s guest, child psychologist, Professor Sam Wass, who appeared in the multi-award-winning Channel 4 series, The Secret Life of 4-, 5- and 6-Year-Olds.

We are talking about sex during pregnancy and after you have had a baby. One of those subjects you may not want to talk with your mum or friends about but fear not because here on my podcast we love diving into taboo subjects and making sure no stone is left unturned. Sex is a topic that often makes us blush or shy away from discussion, but I am not sure anything could make this week’s guest blush, as a sex educator April Davis spends her days writing about vaginas. On Instagram as @thevaginablog April openly discusses all the things you want to ask but are too shy to. April describes herself as the reason you slightly tilt your phone away from others when you're scrolling and that is the exact reason, she is the perfect guest to join us today. I am very grateful that April is taking time out from blogging at thevaginblog.com and swapping seats from hosting her own podcast to join me here today to share why talking about sex and vaginas need not make you blush.

BITESIZE | Mental Health in Pregnancy | Tessa Van Der Lord https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Mental Health in Pregnancy with Tessa Van Der Vord Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.46. Pregnancy is a momentous time in a woman’s life, our bodies are dipped into a rollercoaster of hormonal changes and the physical and psychological adaption that takes place is huge. Mental health is thankfully being discussed more in pregnancy than in previous generations but there is still an air of taboo that surrounds this subject and it is so important we break those barriers down to support women. On this week’s episode I am joined by fellow midwife Tessa Van Der Vord, who is a specialist NHS Mental Health Midwife and can be found on Instagram as @mentalhealth_midwife. We are going to discuss the why’s, how’s and what’s of pregnancy mental health and help women realise they are absolutely not alone in any struggles they may face on this journey. Tessa is a registered midwife and has been working for the NHS for the past 12 years. Prior to this, she trained as a midwife in Manchester and then moved home - working at a London hospital ever since. She has worked in most areas of midwifery but then settled into a specialist mental health post in 2016. In November 2020, Tessa gave birth to her first baby (Rupert - “Roo”) and experienced being pregnant and becoming a parent in a global pandemic. For many reasons, this journey was a huge learning curve for Tessa and it has had an influence on her practice in many ways. Tessa is in the process of returning to work and is really looking forward to working with pregnant people and their families again.

Pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy is a hugely common issue, so much so in fact that often we assume it is part and parcel of pregnancy and something we must simply endure. But what if that is not the case? On this week’s episode I am delighted to welcome back the wonderful Clare Bourne who you may remember from Season 1 when Clare shared so much wisdom on Pelvic Floor Health. I always learn so much when I chat with Clare and hope that you will too as we discuss the real truths around pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy. Clare is an experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and mum of 2. Clare’s passion for providing evidence-based information to mums during pregnancy and the postpartum period is driven by her ethos that women should never feel alone, or experience symptoms without support so I am immensely grateful that she is with us today.

Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.44


Think of a pregnant woman and I bet most of us recall seeing someone waddling about clutching their lower back looking somewhat less than comfortable. Pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy is a hugely common issue, so much so in fact that often we assume it is part and parcel of pregnancy and something we must simply endure. But what if that is not the case? On this week’s episode I am delighted to welcome back the wonderful Clare Bourne who you may remember from Season 1 when Clare shared so much wisdom on Pelvic Floor Health. I always learn so much when I chat with Clare and hope that you will too as we discuss the real truths around pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy.

Clare is an experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and mum of 2.

BITESIZE | Safer Sleeping for Your Little One https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Safer Sleeping For Your Little One Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.32 One of the most important things to consider as a new parent is ways to practice safer sleeping with your little one. Sadly, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome claims the lives of around 4 babies each week in the UK so informing ourselves about ways to help reduce this risk and to ensure your baby is sleeping as safely as possible is a key part of parenthood preparation. I am delighted to be joined on this week’s episode by the wonderful Stella parkin who works for The Lullaby Trust to talk through ways we can do just that and provide you with some of the essential information you need to support your little one’s safer sleeping journey. If anyone has not yet checked out the lullaby trust website, I highly recommend that you do, it is a fantastic resource that can provide you with the best, evidence based information about safer sleeping and reducing the risk of SIDS. Follow this link to check it out www.lullabytrust.org.uk/ For expectant or new parents under 25 years of age there is an additional resource available for you here: https://littlelullaby.org.uk Joining us for today’s chat is Stella, Stella qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1986 at Guy’s Hospital, London. Following a range of nursing roles including as a practice nurse and school nurse, Stella undertook her health visitor qualification and gained a PGCE working as a lecturer on a range of health-related courses. Stella initially joined The Lullaby Trust in 2016 as a Regional Development Officer in the South West. The role involved representing The Lullaby Trust at a regional level to raise and maintain awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) within the region and spread safer sleep messages, mainly through delivering training. She also supported bereaved parents in the region through annual Family Days and was the local contact for Lullaby Trust befrienders. Stella now works as the Professional Development Lead within The Lullaby Trust. This new role means that Stella is involved with ensuring that The Lullaby Trust’s work reflects public health priorities. I am so pleased Stella is joining us today to share her tips, tricks and important facts about safer sleeping that could, quite honestly, help to save a baby’s life.

If there is one thing that seems to occupy an expectant mum’s mind in the preparation for birth it has to be perineal and vaginal tearing. And for good reason, the natural stretching that takes place during birth can result in some degree of tearing for around 85% of women having a vaginal birth. So, arming ourselves with the correct information, considering measures that may help prevent tearing and how to care for the area in the postpartum are super important. I am delighted to be joined by the perfect guest, Dr Brooke Vandermolen, to help me bust the common myths and ensure you are informed with accurate, evidence-based information to switch you from a mindset of feeling scared to feeling prepared for the birth of your little one. Dr Brooke Vandermolen is a practicing Obstetrics & Gynaecology Registrar doctor, and a mother of 2 babies under 3. She has presented her research into high-risk pregnancy at major international conferences and published in prominent medical journals. Brooke is experienced at dealing with all aspects of women’s health and pregnancy, including assessing patients with a range of gynaecological concerns, and performing and assisting in surgical procedures. Brooke has created her educational platform “The OBGYN mum” @theobygnmum via which she shares insights and tips around pregnancy, fertility, menopause and more through social media and blog posts.

Breast, Bottle, Expressing and Mixed Feeding are amongst some of the many terms and choices we hear of when we start to navigate our choices. From the benefits, equipment to purchase, tounge ties and feeding positions it can feel like a mind field. On this week’s episode I am very excited to be joined by the perfect expert to help you navigate these choices and crucially to share some of her expert tips and tricks to a successful feeding journey. Stacey Zimmels is a feeding and swallowing specialist speech therapist (SLT) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Stacey has worked for almost 20 years supporting infants and children with a wide range of feeding and swallowing difficulties. Her breadth of knowledge and experience runs across the spectrum; including but not exclusive to, preterm infants, breast and bottle feeding, weaning difficulties, managing allergies and reflux, swallowing difficulties and fussy eating. Stacey runs a private practice and continues to hold an honorary contract at the Royal Brompton Hospital where she continues to work on clinical research and provides as a locum services. Stacey has published abstracts and articles in her field of interest and has presented at conferences. In addition to her work supporting children and families she is passionate about training others in her field, she provides clinical supervision services for a number of other feeding specialist SLT’s within the NHS. She has also consulted on NHS service management and development for feeding and swallowing services.

Getting Your Crying Baby To Sleep https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Crying and Baby Sleep With Calm and Bright Sleep Support- Eve and Gem If you are anything like me then hearing your baby cry is like someone pulling your heart from inside your body. Your gut instinct is likely to instantly pick them up, cuddle comfort, feed or rock. There are two notions that seem to exist- one in that this is the right thing to do to respond to your baby and develop deep and secure attachments and then there is the idea that perhaps we shouldn’t rush in, maybe we should even let them cry? On this weeks episode I am joined by two women who in the eyes of many parents, mine included, are sleep angels. Eve and Gem, founders of Calm and Bright Sleep Support @calmandbrightsleepsupport, sisters and mothers to 8 children between them.

]]> 2444 E84. Why Hypnobirthing doesn’t need to be so Hippy With Beth Kitt Honestly, I was there once too- heard the term Hypnobirthing and imagined all the marbles, crystal balls and birthing in the forest- all very hippy style and niche. Now if that’s your thing then of course that’s cool too but actually Hypnobirthing is absolutely for you if you are expecting a baby regardless of how you may plan to birth, and it need not be hippy at all. On this week’s episode I am joined by fellow Midwife, mum of 4, and founder of @thebumptobabychapter Beth Kitt. Beth often speaks about the way women will always remember the day they give birth and the way it makes them feel and this is so, very true. Birth is not something we should leave to chance it is simply much too important. The truth is antenatal education is unregulated and you can train to become an antenatal educator through a short course of around 3 days in length. I will leave you to ponder on how good you feel that is…   You may have realised through this episode quality birth preparation is something I am immensely passionate about. Unfortunately, on the internet everyone seems to feel they are an expert in this area and there are more myths, misconceptions, and unreliable resources than I can bare to count. This is why I am happy to be able to sign post you to www.aptaclub.co.uk/midwifepip for free, accessible information written by experts and backed up by evidence.   For more on this topic check out Pip’s Blog: https://www.midwifepip.com/blog Looking for expert support and information throughout Pregnancy, Birth and the Postpartum?

]]> 2806 no E68. Normalising Emotional Well-being Practices in Pregnancy and Motherhood with Sophie Burch https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E68--Normalising-emotional-well-being-practices-in-pregnancy-and-motherhood-with-Sophie-Burch-e1i9900 Becoming and being a parent is tough, perhaps the most challenging thing we will ever do as a woman. Don’t get me wrong I love being a mum but the psychological shift is huge, your life and priorities are literally turned upside down overnight. Our emotional wellbeing is more fragile and important than ever but is often right down the priority list. This week Sophie Burch aka The Mamma Coach @themamacoach is here to share with us why and how we should and must change this. Sophie is on a mission to put mental and emotional wellbeing more on the map in pregnancy, birth and parenting. She has 16 years as a mother to 4 boys (including twins), as a perinatal therapist and coach, and a birth trauma and PND survivor. Her experience has shaped who she is and awakened her to a life of compassion and deep empathy for everyone from pre-conception through parenting to menopause. Her approach is simple: to allow people to feel held and heard, safe and worthy of love and self acceptance.. Sophie believes that our strength comes from self compassion, kindness and knowledge, which is her ethos. Her focus for 2022 is “connection” and she intends to connect with and hold space for as many people as possible. 2020 saw her launch her Book, Beyond Birth: A Mindful Guide for Early Parenting, which is an integration of all she knows will help people have a more balanced, positive experience as they transition from pregnancy to parenting. The guide is available as a published book on Amazon, an ebook & audiobook so it really is a must read that is accessible to all and is linked below: https://tinyurl.com/2p862ehw A big thank you to the sponsor of this episode- Cheeky Rascals.

]]> 2997 no E.67 A Personal Story Through Postnatal Depression with Dr Ivana Poku https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E-67-A-personal-story-through-Postnatal-Depression-with-Dr-Ivana-Poku-e1i98va Dr. Ivana Poku bravely shares some of her experience with postnatal depression and pregnancy following previous postnatal depression. In the UK it is estimated that 1 in 4 women experience postnatal depression and it is a subject we really need to discuss more. So, a heartfelt thank you to Ivana, a mum of 3 boys (including twins), postnatal depression survivor, blogger, motivational speaker, and author of Motherhood - The Unspoken for helping raise so much awareness. Originally from Slovakia, Ivana moved to England at the age of 29. After giving birth to her twin boys, she suffered major postnatal depression. But sadly, she soon understood she was not the only one struggling. Even if it doesn't go as far as depression, becoming a mother is nothing like we had expected and without relevant information and support, this can easily lead to feelings of failure and inadequacy.  After she pulled through postnatal depression, Ivana set up Mumsjourney and has been on the mission to create a world where new mums don't suffer in silence ever since.

In the UK it is estimated that 1 in 4 women experience postnatal depression and it is a subject we really need to discuss more. So, a heartfelt thank you to Ivana, a mum of 3 boys (including twins), postnatal depression survivor, blogger, motivational speaker, and author of Motherhood - The Unspoken for helping raise so much awareness.


Originally from Slovakia, Ivana moved to England at the age of 29. After giving birth to her twin boys, she suffered major postnatal depression. But sadly, she soon understood she was not the only one struggling. Even if it doesn't go as far as depression, becoming a mother is nothing like we had expected and without relevant information and support, this can easily lead to feelings of failure and inadequacy. 


After she pulled through postnatal depression, Ivana set up Mumsjourney and has been on the mission to create a world where new mums don't suffer in silence ever since.

Managing Baby Reflux with Áine Homer https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E66--Managing-Baby-Reflux-with-ine-Homer-e1i98ua Reflux must be up there with one of the most challenging but common conditions new parents and babies face. Seeing your little one uncomfortable and upset is heart breaking so I am excited to bring you this episode packed with expert information and guidance to cut through the confusion and help you navigate this tough time. Áine Homer, the founder of The Baby Reflux Lady, is joining me today to answer your questions around reflux. Following her own experience in mothering two babies with infant reflux, Áine was inspired to develop a way to support other parents and equip them with the knowledge needed to help their baby.  After two babies with reflux, CMPA and multiple other food intolerances and allergies between them, and three years of postnatal depression to boot, Áine knew she had to do something to provide the support that just wasn’t there when she needed it, and thus the Baby Reflux Lady was born! Despite what the doctors say, reflux is not normal, and parents don’t have to wait for babies to grow out of it.

]]> 2196 no E64. Essential Choking and First Aid Skills with Sammy Davies https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E64--Essential-choking-and-first-aid-skills-with-Sammy-Davies-e1i98sj Being a parent is a responsibility like no other, it is to have your heart walking around outside your body and your natural parental instincts are to protect your little one from any harm. So, have you considered ensuring you have the essential choking and first aid skills to keep your little one safe. Choking is one of those things we all hope we never have to deal with, but the reality is it does happen to some babies and children and therefore equipping yourself with the skills to deal with it could quite literally save your child’s life. Todays guest is Sammy Davies, who has been empowering parents by teaching them life- saving skills for the past five years. Before having children herself, she worked in a bustling, high acuity hospital in Melbourne, Australia as a Registered Nurse. After completing her Masters in Nursing she realised she had a second passion- teaching. Becoming a Nurse Educator allowed her to share her skills, and teach student nurses, nurses and doctors at the frontline. Soon after becoming a parent herself (and making the move to the UK), she realised that her loved ones were not equipped with the skills that they needed to care for her children in case of a medical emergency. Sharing these life- saving skills with the people around her became her focus, and she went on to start her own businesses teaching parents friendly first aid. Over the years she has helped hundreds of parents and grandparents to know what to do if an accident did occur to their little ones. Sammy offers Baby & Child First Aid sessions, and has developed an online course devoted to all things choking, follow Sammy on Instagram @happyheartsfirstaid and check out her life-saving courses : www.happyheartsfirstaid.com A big thank you to the sponsor of this episode- Cheeky Rascals.

So, have you considered ensuring you have the essential choking and first aid skills to keep your little one safe. Choking is one of those things we all hope we never have to deal with, but the reality is it does happen to some babies and children and therefore equipping yourself with the skills to deal with it could quite literally save your child’s life. Todays guest is Sammy Davies, who has been empowering parents by teaching them life- saving skills for the past five years.

Jaundice and Early Infant Feeding With Dr Shruti Nathwani https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E63--Jaundice-and-early-infant-feeding--with-Dr-Shruti-Nathwani-e1i98qi Infant feeding is one of the first things on a new parents mind - it is such a fundamental part of the fourth trimester. Whether you choose to breastfeed, combination feed or formula feed you and your baby are learning a whole new skill that can take a little time and patience to get to grips with. Knowing what to expect, how to work out if your feeding journey is going well and common conditions to keep an eye out for such as jaundice can make you feel more confident and prepared as you navigate the early weeks with your little one. On this weeks episode I am joined by Dr Shruti Nathwani, Dr Shruti is a NHS Paediatrician and host of the platform @thechildrensmedic medic. Knowing there is a gap in knowledge and support parents receive upon arrival of their newborn, she set out to try and inform parents with evidence-based information and tips. "It was when I had my own son that I realised there were so many questions as a new parent and not enough support to go around." She covers topics such as reflux, newborn stool, eczema, developmental milestones and many more on both her Instagram page and website www.thechildrensmedic.com A big thank you to the sponsor of this episode- Cheeky Rascals.

The sleep disturbances and deprivation of being a new parent are tough as I know all too well since becoming a mum myself n 2021. If babies came with a sleep manual that would be great, but they just don’t, so we have got to figure out how to support these beautiful little joyous sleep thieves ourselves.

]]> 2889 no E61. Sex In Pregnancy and After Giving Birth | April Davis https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Sex In Pregnancy and After Giving Birth | April Davis We are going there! We are talking about sex during pregnancy and after you have had a baby. One of those subjects you may not want to talk with your mum or friends about but fear not because here on my podcast we love diving into taboo subjects and making sure no stone is left unturned. Sex is a topic that often makes us blush or shy away from discussion, but I am not sure anything could make this week’s guest blush, as a sex educator April Davis spends her days writing about vaginas. On Instagram as @thevaginablog April openly discusses all the things you want to ask but are too shy to. April describes herself as the reason you slightly tilt your phone away from others when you're scrolling and that is the exact reason, she is the perfect guest to join us today. I am very grateful that April is taking time out from blogging at thevaginblog.com and swapping seats from hosting her own podcast to join me here today to share why talking about sex and vaginas need not make you blush.

Some days you feel on top of the world and like you are smashing it and other days feel like they are a month long and full of relentless hurdles. We wouldn’t change it for the world, but that doesn’t mean that it is easy, so how can we mother in a more mindful way to make those rollercoaster days a little easier on us and the whole family? This week I am so excited to chat to Izzy Judd, who as a mum of 3 is very aware of the challenges that come alongside motherhood. Izzy is also a violinist and author of ‘Dare to Dream’ and ‘Mindfulness 4 Mums’. Izzy has been affected by anxiety through her life and has found how mindfulness and self-care can bring some calm to motherhood and that getting the family involved can help your little ones too.

Busting Common Pregnancy Nutrition Myths with Rhiannon Lambert https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E56--Busting-Common-Pregnancy-Nutrition-Myths-with-Rhiannon-Lambert-e1i96lh Nutrition in pregnancy is a powerful force, not only does the food you eat need to nourish your body but also your growing baby. However, alongside nutrition in pregnancy comes a whole heap of myths and misconceptions. At a time where it is so important to have the facts and to be empowered to nourish your body and baby it is vital we unpick fact from fiction and I cannot think of a better guest to help us do just that today. I am joined by the wonderful Rhiannon Lambert. Rhiannon is one of the UK’s leading nutritionists, a best-selling author and chart-topping podcast host. In 2016 she founded Rhitrition, a renowned Harley Street clinic, which specialises in weight management, sports nutrition, eating disorders, and pre- and post-natal nutrition. As an evidence-based practitioner, Rhiannon is committed to the benefits of a scientific approach to nutrition. In 2017, Rhiannon published her first book, the best-selling Re-Nourish: A Simple Way To Eat Well, part handbook, part cookbook, in which she shares her food philosophy to lay the foundations for a happy, healthy relationship with eating. She followed this up with Top Of Your Game: Eating For Mind & Body (2019), co-written with world snooker champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan. And her third book, The Science of Nutrition, was recently published in 2021 and is a Sunday times bestseller. Rhiannon also hosts the top-rated ‘Food for Thought’ which gives listeners practical, evidence-based advice on how to achieve a healthier lifestyle. So, I think it is safe to say we are in the very best hands today with Rhiannon!

BONUS EPISODE: Baby’s Skin and Child’s Farm with Joanna Jensen https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast BONUS EPISODE 16: Baby’s skin and Childs Farm with Joanna Jensen, the founder of Child’s Farm For those of you who have been listening to this season’s podcast and all the knowledge bomb packed episodes you will have noticed that Childs Farm has sponsored Season 3 to help me deliver the honest support and information you deserve over the past 15 weeks. This is an extra special bonus episode where I am joined by Joanna, the founder of Childs Farm. I speak with Joanna about how we can best support our babies precious and sensitive skin and why this is a subject close to her heart as well as mine. I learn just how personal Child’s Farm is to Joanna and her family, why it was born and the honestly inspirational ways they have been working to ensure their products are super sustainable and even help those around the world out of poverty through co-operatives. For example, the bottles are made from plastic bottles in Indonesia that would otherwise end up in our oceans due to the lack of recycling that takes place in these parts of the world. Joanna truly has gone the extra mile for sensitive skin and kindness to our planet and I felt truly inspired chatting to her. Joanna Jensen is the Founder of the UK’s number one baby and children’s toiletry brand, Childs Farm. As well as being an entrepreneur, Joanna is a mother of two, Mimi and Bella. They were the inspiration behind the launch of Childs Farm and the products she created were a solution to her frustration at not being able to find natural but fun products that could cope with her two daughters’ sensitive skin, fine flyaway hair.Joanna and her team believe that every child deserves to be happy in their skin, whether that be normal, sensitive or even eczema-prone. The daily success stories Joanna hears from parents who have had their children and their own lives transformed by using Childs Farm, is what truly drives her forward. And remember- you can currently get an exclusive 25% off child’s farm products on their website using code MIDWIFEPIP25. I also love the Child’s Farm You Tube cartoons where the characters on the labels come to life and you and your child can meet the Child’s Farm family: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb36L4sbgwVFaBfZvyEfwRQ Extra Stuff: Follow Midwife Pip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Check out Midwife Pip’s website - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get access to my free courses → https://www.midwifepip.com/free-pregnancy-courses Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  Learn more about your ad choices.

Navigating Parenting Emotions and Behaviours | Dr Siggie Cohen https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast We concentrate so much time on educating ourselves about pregnancy and birth during this precious time and then ‘boom’ we dive into the world of parenting and caring for a new baby. It is no secret that navigating this new life is challenging and amazing in equal measures. Becoming a parent is such a huge change and there are many heightened or new emotions and behaviours to be navigated. I am super excited to chat with this week’s expert guest Dr Siggie Cohen who is a expert in the field of parenting. For more than 35 years, Siggie has worked extensively with thousands of children and families, first as a teacher and then as a child developmental specialist. Her approach has proven successful in helping parents and teachers deepen their understanding of children’s behaviours, so they can support them through the entire range of emotional challenges, including behavioural difficulties, transitions and trauma. Siggie and I discuss parenting anxiety, navigating the whirlwind of parenting changes and the all too common mum-guilt. For more fantastic content by Siggie check her out on Instagram @dr.siggie.

]]> 1751 no E47. Why we should adapt exercise for pregnancy? | James Davies https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast For those who have been following me on social media it will come as no surprise that I am a huge advocate of exercise during pregnancy. The benefits are huge, and it is an area I am super passionate about. But of course, we want to ensure exercise in pregnancy is done safely to support our bodies. With this in mind you can be forgiven for ending up in a rabbit warren of frantic googling when it comes to exercise in pregnancy and finding a confusing tangle of poor quality, outdated, inaccurate information. Unhelpful to say the least but also super disempowering at a time when accurate information is imperative. I am really excited to put your questions to this weeks podcast guest and dispel some of the myths and misconceptions around exercising during pregnancy and explore the best way to navigate this precious time. I am joined by James Davies, this man has an extensive portfolio from a career in professional support himself, to working with elite athletes in the worlds of premier league football, the commonwealth, and Olympic games. More recently James has begun to focus on the historically neglected area of women in sport, qualified in pregnancy training and shares my relentless passion for empowering women to embrace healthy, active pregnancies safely. And on a personal note, James has been the voice and expertise behind my own pregnancy journey allowing me to enjoy physical activity throughout and genuinely have the positive, healthy pregnancy I dreamt of.

]]> 2550 no E46. Mental Health in Pregnancy | Tessa Van Der Vord https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Mental Health in Pregnancy with Tessa Van Der Vord Pregnancy is a momentous time in a woman’s life, our bodies are dipped into a rollercoaster of hormonal changes and the physical and psychological adaption that takes place is huge. Mental health is thankfully being discussed more in pregnancy than in previous generations but there is still an air of taboo that surrounds this subject and it is so important we break those barriers down to support women. On this week’s episode I am joined by fellow midwife Tessa Van Der Vord, who is a specialist NHS Mental Health Midwife and can be found on Instagram as @mentalhealth_midwife. We are going to discuss the why’s, how’s and what’s of pregnancy mental health and help women realise they are absolutely not alone in any struggles they may face on this journey. Tessa is a registered midwife and has been working for the NHS for the past 12 years. Prior to this, she trained as a midwife in Manchester and then moved home - working at a London hospital ever since. She has worked in most areas of midwifery but then settled into a specialist mental health post in 2016. In November 2020, Tessa gave birth to her first baby (Rupert - “Roo”) and experienced being pregnant and becoming a parent in a global pandemic. For many reasons, this journey was a huge learning curve for Tessa and it has had an influence on her practice in many ways. Tessa is in the process of returning to work and is really looking forward to working with pregnant people and their families again. Some of the resources mentioned by Tessa are below: https://www.medicinesinpregnancy.org https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/postnatal-depression-and-perinatal-mental-health/about-maternal-mental-health-problems/ Extra Stuff: Follow Midwife Pip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Check out Midwife Pip’s website - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get access to my free courses → https://www.midwifepip.com/free-pregnancy-courses Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  ** The warmest thanks to our Season 3 sponsors who make the podcast creation and the easy access you have to all this expert information possible.

Pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy is a hugely common issue, so much so in fact that often we assume it is part and parcel of pregnancy and something we must simply endure. But what if that is not the case? On this week’s episode I am delighted to welcome back the wonderful Clare Bourne who you may remember from Season 1 when Clare shared so much wisdom on Pelvic Floor Health. I always learn so much when I chat with Clare and hope that you will too as we discuss the real truths around pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy. Clare is an experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and mum of 2. Clare’s passion for providing evidence-based information to mums during pregnancy and the postpartum period is driven by her ethos that women should never feel alone, or experience symptoms without support so I am immensely grateful that she is with us today.

Think of a pregnant woman and I bet most of us recall seeing someone waddling about clutching their lower back looking somewhat less than comfortable. Pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy is a hugely common issue, so much so in fact that often we assume it is part and parcel of pregnancy and something we must simply endure. But what if that is not the case? On this week’s episode I am delighted to welcome back the wonderful Clare Bourne who you may remember from Season 1 when Clare shared so much wisdom on Pelvic Floor Health. I always learn so much when I chat with Clare and hope that you will too as we discuss the real truths around pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy.

So, I am very pleased to be joined by Diastasis Recti expert Grainne Donnelly to reveal all we need to know about this surprisingly common symptom. Gráinne is an Advanced Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health. Her particular areas of interest include diastasis rectus abdominis and perinatal exercise.

Reusable Nappies | Everything You Need to Know https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Let’s be honest babies and nappies basically come hand in hand and much of the first few months of parenthood is spent conducting continual nappy changes and a increased supermarket bill each week from the endless supply needed. And with all of this you can que the black bin bags of disposable nappies piling up which will mostly end up in a landfill site somewhere. In fact, it is estimated that a baby will use around 6000 disposable nappies before he or she is potty trained! In a world where we are becoming more environmentally aware and looking for more sustainable ways to parent, reusable cloth nappies can offer a fantastic option. But navigating the right style, nappy system and washing routine can feel a bit overwhelming. This is something I have personally done a lot of research around and thankfully the complicated nappy systems and wrapping that was necessary in previous years is no longer. Reusable nappies can actually be as simple as disposables with the big benefit of saving us money and helping the environment in which we live too. On this weeks episode I have the pleasure of being joined by an expert, Fiona Smyth, founder of TotsBots, whose nappies are gorgeous and I cannot wait to dress our little boy in all the cute bottom designs very soon, to help us fully understand the world of reusable nappies, our options and why it really can be a simple and fantastic solution.

What is an IVF Journey? | Sophie Martin https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast As women we seemingly spend half of our lives trying not to get pregnant and the other half trying to or worrying about our abilities to conceive. The journey to motherhood is not always plain sailing and for some parents it’s a full on stormy, dark skies road. Operations, injections, lengthy waits, and baby loss feature in many more parents trying to conceive journeys than most of us are aware. Infertility and fertility struggles still remain a huge taboo subject but it is so important that parents on this journey can recognise that they are not alone. On this weeks episode I am delighted to be joined by Sophie Martin, a registered midwife who has been working in a central London hospital for the past 9 years. 4 years ago Sophie and her husband James started trying for a baby. Since then, they have undergone 6 rounds of IVF treatment, and sadly also said goodbye to their identical twins sons Cecil & Wilfred who were born prematurely at 21 weeks. Sophie has been sharing her story on her Instagram account @the.infertile.midwife, to spread awareness of infertility and baby loss, and to provide support to others who are also living through this. https://www.instagram.com/the.infertile.midwife/ And, I am sure I speak for many women when I say the biggest of thank you’s to Sophie for sharing her journey so openly and honestly to support others navigating a similar path.

It is not until I begun planning a pregnancy that I really tuned into, and researched gut health and I was literally mind blown! In fact, ensuring a healthy gut and microbiome is one of the ways we can set our children and maternal bodies up for strong, healthier futures. Our gut is connected to so much of our wellness and the evidence really is building so I think it is important we shout about it and get the word out there to empower more women to consider boosting their gut health to boost their family’s wellness.

Why we should not ignore our core in pregnancy | Hollie Grant https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast There are so many myths and misconceptions when it comes to exercising in pregnancy but none more so than pregnancy and our core muscles. Unsurprisingly women are left confused, scared, and disempowered to embrace safe, effective core exercises that are fundamental to our wellness, to a healthier pregnancy and smoother postpartum recovery. That is right ladies- we should not ignore our core in pregnancy! So, on this week’s episode I am really excited to be joined by Hollie Grant to discuss what our core is- because most of us do not actually understand it, why our core is so important in pregnancy and how we can be safely exercising it to protect and support our changing, growing bodies. Hollie is a woman with a hell of a lot of passion to empower women to feel strong, powerful, and healthy in pregnancy and her message that you can be Pregnant and Powerful is something that totally resonates with me, and that the world needs to hear. In fact, Hollie attempted a world record attempt for the most pregnant women exercising at one time- that is serious dedication! Specialising in prenatal Pilates and being an award-winning Pilates instructor, Hollie is an expert in the area of the core, stability and functional movement for pregnancy and so we are in great hands for today’s chat! You can find Hollie on social media: @thepilatespt And check out her prenatal fitness plan: @thebumpplan Hollie’s goal is to help every woman learn to love exercise for its effect on performance, rather than aesthetic gains and I could not be more on board with this ethos!

]]> 4057 no E34. Welcome to Season 3 https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Hello, I am back with a third season! And wow so much has changed since Season 2- mainly in that I have been on my own journey through pregnancy and have joined this crazy, incredible club of motherhood. For those of you who don’t know me- I am Pip, a practicing NHS midwife and enthusiast of all things women’s wellness. I have a somewhat relentless passion for ensuring women are empowered with real, honest and reliable information and support throughout their pregnancy. Because my goodness, pregnancy is such a powerful time in a woman’s life that is often miraculous and challenging in equal measures. Over the upcoming, weekly episodes I am joined by many leading experts to bring you the evidence-based information and top tips to navigating your pregnancy and motherhood journey.

Safer Sleeping | Stella Parkin https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast One of the most important things to consider as a new parent is ways to practice safer sleeping with your little one. Sadly, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome claims the lives of around 4 babies each week in the UK so informing ourselves about ways to help reduce this risk and to ensure your baby is sleeping as safely as possible is a key part of parenthood preparation. I am delighted to be joined on this week’s episode by the wonderful Stella parkin who works for The Lullaby Trust to talk through ways we can do just that and provide you with some of the essential information you need to support your little one’s safer sleeping journey. If anyone has not yet checked out the lullaby trust website, I highly recommend that you do, it is a fantastic resource that can provide you with the best, evidence based information about safer sleeping and reducing the risk of SIDS. Follow this link to check it out www.lullabytrust.org.uk/ For expectant or new parents under 25 years of age there is an additional resource available for you here: https://littlelullaby.org.uk Joining us for today’s chat is Stella, Stella qualified as a Registered General Nurse in 1986 at Guy’s Hospital, London. Following a range of nursing roles including as a practice nurse and school nurse, Stella undertook her health visitor qualification and gained a PGCE working as a lecturer on a range of health-related courses. Stella initially joined The Lullaby Trust in 2016 as a Regional Development Officer in the South West. The role involved representing The Lullaby Trust at a regional level to raise and maintain awareness of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) within the region and spread safer sleep messages, mainly through delivering training. She also supported bereaved parents in the region through annual Family Days and was the local contact for Lullaby Trust befrienders. Stella now works as the Professional Development Lead within The Lullaby Trust. This new role means that Stella is involved with ensuring that The Lullaby Trust’s work reflects public health priorities. I am so pleased Stella is joining us today to share her tips, tricks and important facts about safer sleeping that could, quite honestly, help to save a baby’s life.

The importance of Self Care in the Postpartum https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Why caring for YOU in the postpartum is so important - With Emma Bord During pregnancy and birth your body has nurtured, grown and birthed your newborn baby. Your body undergoes huge physical and physiological changes during these stages and often we underestimate the importance of caring for your body after birth. The fourth trimester can encompass so many challenges from sleep deprivation, to hormonal driven changes to our mood and physical symptoms of recovery. Regardless of mode of birth your body needs time and attention to recover properly. Looking after yourself in the postpartum should absolutely be considered a priority and not a self-indulgence, yet so often self-care for new mums gets lost along the motherhood journey. One woman who knows these challenges and the importance of support and recovery after birth is Emma Bord who is joining us to chat about how we should be caring for and nurturing our bodies post birth. Emma shares my ethos that the phrase “pre baby body” needs abolishing and switching out for a deeper understanding about the changes our body has undertaken and ways we can support our recovery. Emma is first and foremost a mother of 3 young children, all 4years and under, her youngest born during lockdown this summer. Alongside parenting she is a Personal Trainer and Pilates instructor focussing on Pre and Post Natal exercise, with the hope of inspiring women to keep fit and well during and after pregnancy in a safe way to aid mothers both physically and mentally. Emma is currently teaching a variety of classes via Zoom as well as 1-2-1 sessions and has recently set up an on-demand library for the convenience of her clients to be able to train at their own leisure from the comfort of her own home. You can find Emma on Instagram @emmabordpt for more pre- and post-natal exercise inspiration.

Skin Health During Pregnancy and Motherhood | Erica Rodriguez https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast All things Skin health with Erica Rodriguez Maintaining or even achieving a healthy, glowing complexion seems to be a never-ending mission. From dry to oily, breakouts to pigmentation our skin complaints are extensive and the range of products on the market are an absolute mind field. After all, our skin is the biggest organ on our body and it is always on show so it’s no surprise we want it to be as healthy as our insides. Our skin can be affected by so many different factors from genetics to environmental and nutritional influences. And like many women out there I am always on the search for the best way to hide my sleep deprivation sins and reduce the signs of ageing, so I am very excited to be joined on this weeks episode by registered nutritionist and skin health expert Erica Rodriguez to debunk common skin myths and to help us boost our skin health. Erica is a London based registered nutritionist specialising in skin health and creates highly personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans for her clients, addressing their skin concerns through an integrative holistic approach. Having spent 16 years working in the fashion and beauty industry and experiencing her own struggles with acne, with an ever-growing passion for science and wellness, Erica found her calling and studied biomedicine and nutritional therapy for 3 years. She later founded Naturally Nourished and created an online wellness platform where she shares her evidence-based health and beauty articles and her delicious wholesome recipes, many of which aim to promote healthy youthful skin. You can check these out on Erica’s Instagram page @naturallynourishedlondon. Over the years, Erica has gained extensive knowledge around the intricate relationship between nutrition and skin health and how we can make significant improvements to our skin by working from the inside-out. Gut health and a balanced microbiome play a central role in maintaining healthy skin and the skin-gut connection is an area of particular interest to Erica. Erica is also a regular contributor to online health and beauty publications.

Induction of Labour https://anchor.fm/midwifepip/episodes/E28--Induction-of-Labour-er2g36 Induction of Labour - With Midwife Marie Louise In the UK around 1 in 5 women have their labour induced. It therefore makes sense that we learn about induction of labour in the antenatal period. I am sure you all know by now that I am a believer of knowledge being power and that is because I feel that having honest, evidence-based information allows you to be empowered about your birth choices and feel in control of the twists and turns that may crop up. This is entirely true of induction. It can be offered for a range of reasons and the actual process may also differ depending on your individual circumstance and hospital policy. On this week’s episode I am joined by a fellow midwife, and a midwife as passionate as I am about providing you with accurate non-bias information. Midwife Marie Louise, known as the modern midwife on social media @the_modern_midwife, author and most importantly mum to her gorgeous little girl Georgie Rose is joining us today to chat about all things Induction of Labour, how you should navigate your choices, how to prepare for an induction and what the process may look like for you.

Perineal and Vaginal Tearing during Birth https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Perineal and Vaginal Tearing during Birth - With Dr Brooke Vandermolen If there is one thing that seems to occupy an expectant mum’s mind in the preparation for birth it has to be perineal and vaginal tearing. And for good reason, the natural stretching that takes place during birth can result in some degree of tearing for around 85% of women having a vaginal birth. So, arming ourselves with the correct information, considering measures that may help prevent tearing and how to care for the area in the postpartum are super important. I am delighted to be joined by the perfect guest, Dr Brooke Vandermolen, to help me bust the common myths and ensure you are informed with accurate, evidence-based information to switch you from a mindset of feeling scared to feeling prepared for the birth of your little one. Dr Brooke Vandermolen is a practicing Obstetrics & Gynaecology Registrar doctor, and a mother of 2 babies under 3. She has presented her research into high-risk pregnancy at major international conferences and published in prominent medical journals. Brooke is experienced at dealing with all aspects of women’s health and pregnancy, including assessing patients with a range of gynaecological concerns, and performing and assisting in surgical procedures. Brooke has created her educational platform “The OBGYN mum” @theobygnmum via which she shares insights and tips around pregnancy, fertility, menopause and more through social media and blog posts.

I think sometimes we, as women, forget that during pregnancy your entire system is adapted as your body focuses on growing a new little human being. Parts become stretched, weakened and shifted as your little one thrives and develops. Then there is the matter of childbirth and regardless of how this may happen for you it is a momentous time and arguably the biggest challenge your body will ever undergo. But you can’t just put your feet up and recover as a new mum, you have a baby to care for and are often sleep deprived. And so all too often the incredible journey your body and mind have been on get forgotten and your nurturing and healing are neglected. But on this week’s episode I am joined by an amazing guest, specialist women’s health physiotherapist, mum and now author Emma Brockwell. Emma is a woman on a mission to empower and inform women about the changes taking place in pregnant and postpartum bodies and to support them on a journey to recovery in the right way. Women have, for far too many years thought that many embarrassing or unpleasant conditions relating to women’s health were normal and something we should put up with. But the good news is that they are absolutely not, and Emma believes that all women should be informed and empowered with tools to look after and nurture their amazing bodies throughout pregnancy and motherhood. Emma Brockwell is a Specialist Pelvic Health Physiotherapist. She treats women of all ages with all women’s health related conditions. She is passionate about pre and postnatal rehabilitation and exercise. She specialises in enabling women back to exercise, particularly running if they have any pelvic health dysfunction or are postnatal. She has co-authored the first ‘Returning to Running Postnatal Guidelines’ and has spoken about this subject at many medical and exercise conferences. Emma has written for many magazines including Women’s Running and Women’s Health magazine and has a book out in February 2021 called ‘Why did no one tell me? how to heal protect and nurture your body through motherhood.’ Emma founded and leads a Walk and Running club, Oxted Ladies Run Club. She is the co-founder of Pelvic Roar a physiotherapy led collaboration aiming to promote and unite all things ‘pelvic health’.

Birth really is a whole-body experience that requires as much if not more psychological preparation as physical. And your birth is not merely one day it is an experience that stays with you forever so preparing is really important to having a positive experience regardless of the twists and turns that may crop up. There is no right or wrong way to birth. Hospital birth, home birth, water birth, epidural birth, induced birth, vaginal birth, forceps birth, caesarean birth – they can all be empowering and truly positive experiences. I am so honoured to be joined by the lovely Em today to chat about her birth experience. Em is a personal trainer and founder of Surrey studio @theBarnKT9. Em specialises in pre and postnatal training and is passionate about making sure women feel strong throughout their pregnancy and beyond. In the past year Em has experienced what it feels like herself as she gave birth to her daughter Olive in November 2020.

What to expect during a Homebirth? | Midwife Keri https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast What to expect during a Homebirth? - With Midwife Keri When it comes to deciding where to give birth there are a few options- we have consultant led units, midwifery led birthing centres or the comfort of your own home. Various health and pregnancy factors may influence the recommendation for your place of birth and your choice but having accurate, honest information about your birthplace choices is fundamental to helping you make the right decision for you. On this week’s episode I am delighted to be joined by a fellow midwife, Keri. Keri’s career has taken a different path to me as she has been practicing as an independent midwife in the North West of England for the last 3 years. Keri’s career has been based in the community setting and in the attendance of many homebirths. Keri is passionate about the ethos of community midwifery and getting to know the families that she cares for. Then being privileged enough to attend their home births is the icing on the top for Keri. Keri’s independent practice means she now teaches antenatal, hypnobirthing and breastfeeding classes. When Keri is not supporting homebirths and educating new parents, she shares my passion exercise and fitness. Keri teaches Aqua natal classes at her local swimming pool and during lockdown has adapted to teach online fitness classes to encourage us all to keep active in the safety of our homes. Keri has also used her Instagram page @midwife_keri to help provide new mums with postpartum advice and support. But more important than all of that, Keri is also mum to two girls, a toddler and newborn which understandably keep her very busy. So, I am so grateful that Keri has found some time to come on and chat to us about homebirth today. We chat about the pros and cons of opting for a homebirth, transfer rates, safety elements and Keri’s own experiences of having both a homebirth and a hospital birth.

]]> 4041 no E20. What is an Obstetrician? | Dr Ellie Rayner https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast What is an Obstetrician? - With Dr Ellie Rayner During the journey of pregnancy and birth there can be many twists and turns that crop up along the way. For this reason, many women will meet an Obstetrician during pregnancy, during labour or even after the birth of your baby. An obstetrician is a doctor who specialises in these specific areas and the are there to support you to make informed choices and decisions about your care pathway. For some women, the idea of seeing an obstetrician feels a little anxiety provoking or concerning that interventions may be recommended, or they may be given labels such as having a “high risk” pregnancy. So, on this week’s episode I am delighted to be joined by Dr Ellie Rayner who is here to explain why meeting your Obstetrician need not be an anxiety provoking experience and to reassure you that we are all on the same team when it comes to your pregnancy and birth. Dr Ellie Rayner is an Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist doctor working full time in Devon. She’s also Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Teacher and founder of The Maternity Collective. She prides herself on wanting to make obstetrics assessable and understandable and is passionate about providing expectant parents with accurate, up to date and evidence-based information to enable them to make informed choices about their care. In addition to being a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, she has qualifications in medical education and health services improvement and utilises all these skills to ensure women at whichever part of their motherhood journey feel supported to make decisions right for them and their baby. She is particularly interested in improving women’s pregnancy and birth experience and reducing the chance of complications and feels that this involves comprehensive pregnancy and antenatal education, starting even before conception. Ellie and I discuss how your consultations with an obstetrician should look, how we interpret risk and making informed decisions that are right for you and your baby. The take home from this episode is that your obstetrician is on your side and you shouldn’t feel concerned about seeing one during your pregnancy or birth journey.

]]> 243 no E16. Mindfulness for Pregnancy https://www.midwifepip.com/podcast Pregnancy and the Postpartum can be very anxiety provoking times, add into that mix a global pandemic, self-isolation and a huge amount of uncertainty on future lockdowns and prospects and we can find ourselves amidst a challenging time to say the least. Equipping ourselves with mindfulness tools and techniques can be game changing in helping us manage our daily stresses and anxieties. I was, like many, a mindfulness sceptic until I actually tried it and realised it is not all about chanting and crystal balls as it is often portrayed. By all means chant away if that is what works for you but for so many it can be a powerful way of focusing our minds and bodies on the present, breathing and relaxing into a calm state that enables us to take on the day in a positive way.  On this week’s episode I am delighted to be joined by Rachel @_stronglikemama_ , a qualified hypnobirthing practitioner, from Kent and a mum of two boys. Rachel trained and qualified with KGHypnobirthing and set up Strong Like Mama, to teach a full antenatal and hypnobirthing course to expectant couples. She wants women to go through pregnancy and birth feeling truly confident and informed, and like they are the ones in charge of what happens to their body and their baby (which of course they are!) They should feel empowered and, frankly, a little bit like a superhero after birthing a baby! Rachel teaches both group and private course and offers face to face and zoom classes too. Rachel and I discuss how many of the tools used in hypnobirthing can transform into everyday life and assist us to live in more mindful and present way. At the end of this episode I am super excited that Rachel will also be sharing a short relaxation practice, so join us and give it a go in the comfort of your own home and see how you feel afterwards Extra Stuff: Follow Midwife Pip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Check out Midwife Pip’s website - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get access to my free courses → https://www.midwifepip.com/free-pregnancy-courses Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  Learn more about your ad choices.

However instrumental assistance is currently used in around 1 in 8 UK births and so it is imperative women are informed and empowered about them.  On this week’s episode I am joined by Consultant Obstetrician Aamna to discuss the ins and outs of assisted and instrumental birth, to help you realise that it is not something to be afraid of and that an assisted birth can still form a hugely positive birthing experience.  When the lovely Aamna is not chatting to expectant mums or supporting birth on labour ward she can be found on Instagram @aamnasasanow Extra Stuff: Follow Midwife Pip on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Check out Midwife Pip’s website - http://www.midwifepip.com/ Get access to my free courses → https://www.midwifepip.com/free-pregnancy-courses Get in Touch: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midwife_pip Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midwifepip Email: https://www.midwifepip.com/contact-us Enjoy Listening... and don't forget to subscribe!  Midwife Pip x  Learn more about your ad choices.
