Parent Pod from BabyCentre - 40 weeks pregnant

While your baby may still be cosy where he is, sleep may feel near impossible for you – this week, we talk about how to sleep as safely and as comfortably as you can at this stage. We also hear from a dad of two, Joshua - aka The Dad He - who gives his perspective on labour and the first few days at home.

The Parent Pod is hosted by Lucy Toseland-Bolton and Claire Mutimer, both mums to young children and both BabyCentre parents. It is produced by BabyCentre UK and Tin Shed Productions. Download all 48 episodes now.
