In todays episode our host Mon speaks with Melbourne based soon to be Dads Phil & Dan where we discuss their unique journey into parenthood through surrogacy in America. With surrogacy not being common in Australia, Phil and Dan reveal the ins and outs of surrogacy and the many challenges and obstacles they have faced to make it possible, including the reason why they found themselves choosing to embark on this journey in America instead of Australia in the first place. It is an episode filled with lots of emotion, love and excitement as they best prepare to travel to meet their baby girl in the next coming months and bring her back home to Australia. It is an incredible story which we are so grateful to be able to share with you all as it is so important to bring more education surrounding this topic. Phil and Dan have kindly shared some of the resources they found useful throughout their surrogacy journey. A good starting place. Agencies to talk to are : •Tammuz - https://www.tammuz.com/surrogacy-australia/ •Miracle Surrogacy - https://miraclesurrogacy.com/ Both are very LGBTQI+ friendly.

In today’s episode our host Mon speak's with Sarah Duncanson about her journey into parenthood.

Sarah is a Mum to 4 beautiful children & a passionate paediatric ICU nurse & educator. Throughout her first pregnancy Sarah was often faced with the term “big baby” requiring multiple growth scans and an Induction of Labour.

As a first time Mum this left Sarah feeling very vulnerable & in a negative mindset when preparing for labour and birth as she lacked trust with her body & the ability to birth her baby vaginally. However, Sarah overcame this fear and rather believed in her body, going on to have 4 empowering Vaginal births of baby’s larger than 4kg.

Sarah talks about her postpartum journey with her children and highlights how every child’s needs are different & that no two baby’s are the same or follow the same routine. We discuss the unrealistic expectation many women place on themselves to raise their children following strict guidelines rather than following their own intuition.
