Induction of Childbirth
Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery: FitNest Mama
11/02/21 • 49 min
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr. Kara Thompson. Kara absolutely loves coming to work and being a part of women’s pregnancy journeys. She works in the public hospital system in Melbourne and Geelong specialising in high-risk pregnancies. Kara is a co-host with Dr. Alex Umbers of the Pregnancy Uncut podcast, sharing the untold and sometimes traumatic pregnancy stories that haven’t gone to plan. Kara is passionate about supporting women to make informed decisions about their birth and I can’t wait for you to hear her expert advice.
This episode is all about induction and birth. Kara discusses in depth why a woman might need an induction, the different processes the doctor and patient will undertake, the risk of an instrumental birth, and how long it takes to induce someone. She will also run us through why the rates of induction are increasing, the risks involved, and why it may be necessary.
Kara’s expert knowledge is so important to help empower women to make the right choice for their individual birth journey. This is especially true as currently every second woman having her first baby is being offered an induction.
It all comes down to whether it’s safer to keep waiting for labour to happen naturally or if it’s better for baby and Mum if it happens sooner. Kara talks about the potential reasons contributing to increasing the rate of inductions, these include maternal age, medical problems going into pregnancy, diabetes in pregnancy, and women’s approach to induction.
There are different types of inductions - it’s not a one size fits all approach. So sit back and listen to Kara thoroughly explain the role of induction in birth and consider if it may be the best option for you if the time comes.

For pregnant women, the idea of induction is one that might sound a little daunting and scary. My guest today is here to shed some light on induction and how it can still be a natural and beautiful experience, with a little extra help to get things moving along.
My lovely guest today is Beth Ryan from Birth with Beth. She is a registered midwife who provides a digital childbirth education service offering online classes to expectant mothers, all with the aim of helping women make informed choices regarding pregnancy, labour and the postpartum experience.
In this episode, Beth shares 5 evidence-based strategies that you can try at home to help induce labour naturally, including a delicious sweet treat and some fun in the bedroom. She also shares 5 great ways to help you set up your birth space in the hospital during medical induction so that you can maintain a positive and calm environment throughout your birth. We talk about the importance of patience, discuss relaxation techniques and practical tips for creating the atmosphere your body needs during labour.
Babies will arrive when they’re ready but there are some things we can do to help things move along. If you’re waiting to meet your baby soon, this episode is for you.

Feeding Friend
Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery: FitNest Mama
08/31/21 • 22 min
Breastfeeding can be so difficult and painful and doesn’t always come naturally. My next guest has gone through the horrendous pain of mastitis to create her own innovative solution to support her in her breastfeeding journey. She has developed this idea into a business that is helping mothers to breast or bottle feed their baby in comfort.
Amanda Rowe is a mum of three and the founder of the ‘Feeding Friend’. The ‘Feeding Friend’ is a feeding pillow that provides breastfeeding or bottle feeding arm support.
It is not a typical nursing pillow. Amanda’s mission is to help mums create a connection and bond by aiding them to hold their baby and take all of the pressure off the loading arm to help mum’s posture, self-care, comfort and letdown during feeding.
I am so grateful to hear and discuss Amanda’s journey and the challenges she went through while breastfeeding and the motherhood experience.
To celebrate my 50th podcast episode we are doing a giveaway! If you would like to go into the draw to win your very own Feeding Friend AND 3 months membership to FitNest Mama, click here! Hurry, entries close on the 7th of September at midnight!

Cultivating a Strong mindset in motherhood, with Kristin Laffrey
Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery: FitNest Mama
05/25/21 • 27 min
It is extremely common for women to doubt themselves and worry they’re not doing a good job as a mother. We all struggle with the demands of motherhood at times and it can be a battle to not feel deflated, uninspired and stressed out.
My guest today is Kristin Laffrey, a Mindset and Mindfulness Coach whose mission is to support other mums in their journeys of releasing negative self-talk, limiting beliefs and past emotions to create a life they love without the guilt, anxiety and overwhelm.
In this episode, Kristin talks about the beliefs that hold women back from embodying confidence in motherhood, particularly in the early postpartum period. We dive into how a woman’s beliefs shape her expectations on the role of a mum and how these expectations can prevent mums from being able to fully experience motherhood.
This episode is a must listen for all mums and mums to be. You will be encouraged and inspired to embrace motherhood and reconnect with yourself in a brand new way.
