The Must-Do's Before Pregnancy: GP Edit
I'm Thinking of Having a Baby
07/19/22 • 12 min
What are the things you MUST have your general practitioner (doctor) check for you before you get pregnant?
In this episode of the I'm Thinking of Having a Baby podcast, I talk to Dr Kris. With 33 years of experience in general practice and special training in maternal care, she goes into detail about what kinds of preparation she will do with her patients who are planning a pregnancy.
It's quite a list, so make sure you grab your very own Doctor's Checklist here.

Meet Amy: to freeze or not to freeze? That is the question.
I'm Thinking of Having a Baby
02/04/22 • 35 min
Technology is amazing! Nowadays, women can choose to have their eggs frozen - suspended in time - which wasn't always a possibility. And it comes with plenty to think about.
Amy is working out if that's the best thing for her. And if so, when? And what's involved? Are there things she needs to do now to get the best possible outcome?
It's a topic well worth the discussion. Have a listen and let us know if you found it helpful and informative!

Meet Rachel: mending from miscarriage
I'm Thinking of Having a Baby
03/07/22 • 29 min
Perhaps something that wouldn't cross your mind when planning a pregnancy is miscarriage. And yet, it occurs in roughly 25% of pregnancies. Rachel generously shares her story - her experience, perspective, thoughts, and how she is living now. It is well worth a listen if you're wanting to get a glimpse into how miscarriage can affect one's physical, mental and emotional being, in order to better support those men and women around us who find themselves in this heartbreak of a place.
Just a heads up: this podcast mentions aspects of miscarriage that may be disturbing for some.
