That first year in motherhood can sometimes feel like a bit of a blur...

Days are long, nights are even longer. Some days seem to fly by and others seem like an eternity.

In amongst it all you are going to have so many firsts, and consequently a bunch of lasts.

Some of these you will be excited about, some will be a relief and others will have you all emotional.

In today's episode we recap some of our memorable firsts and lasts and share them with you.

We hope you enjoy it.

Following on from last week's A - Z of pregnancy, we thought it made sense to run through the A - Z of your new baby....

After all, moving from pregnancy to parenthood can be as equally daunting and there is a lot of unknown territory.

It's a lighthearted chat where we take you through some familiar and some not so familiar words and terms and give you a run down of what they mean and what to expect.

Enjoy!

Ever wondered what Lanugo is? What about meconium, Amniotic Fluid or Strep B?

If you have never heard of these words, or have heard them but have no idea what they mean, don't worry, we got you.

Today's episode takes you through some new words and new terms that will become common language as you move through your pregnancy, but to start with, it might sound like you are hearing a new language for the first time.

Come on a little journey with us from A to Z to learn all about the wonderful world and different stages of your pregnancy.

The last birth story in our little 4 part series for you today.

Again, please be aware this experience contains the good, the bad and the scary, as it happened from my perspective. It was overall positive and I couldn't have asked for a better experience even though it was tough. For this one, it is a water birth with an induced labour and resulted in a natural vaginal birth with no issues. I talk through a lot of the decisions and options that I had through my journey and how my first birth influenced the decisions I made in this one. I hope it's useful for you. Enjoy.

Round two!

Today I share my second experience bringing a child into the world, and it is completely different to the first.

I took so many learnings from my first birth, asked more questions, was much more inquisitive and took more control of what I wanted to happen.

I had a planned C-Section and a smoother, calmer and much more enjoyable experience.

I hope you enjoy it!

Today it’s my turn to share my birth story. This one is a spontaneous, natural vaginal birth, ultimately with an epidural. It had its highs and lows and this is a very real and raw account of what happened from my perspective.

I hope that by hearing real, detailed birth stories you feel better equipped to face what lies ahead for you. ❤️Karen

Every birth story is unique. This one is mine.

In this episode I share the story of how I became a Mum and how my first born, Ruby, entered the world.

Recording this episode stirred up some very raw emotion for me that is for sure!!

If you are currently pregnant, and getting ready for your own birth, my biggest piece of advice is to do your research, ask questions and empower yourself with knowledge.

I hope you enjoy my story. Love Felicity xox

To find out...... Or not to find out? That is the question we are hoping to help you answer in today's episode! Gender disappointment is a real thing, and if you have ever experienced it you will know how it can feel to wish for one thing only to find out you should be preparing for another....... Maybe you already have a little one that you need to consider, a 'family' name that is passed down through generations that you need to plan around, or maybe you are just really really impatient and not knowing is just unfathomable!! There are many reasons why people choose to, or not to find out the gender of their baby, so have a listen while we unpack it for you!
