39. Why a baby dies. Part 1
The Kick Pregnancy Podcast
08/13/20 • 33 min
This is the first of our two part series about baby loss. It was recorded ages ago but we've delayed publishing it again and again. We just thought there's too much heartbreak at the moment to add something else to the mix of 2020.
But you have requested this topic many times and we realised that it is needed. There are parents coping with the loss of their baby every day.
This is for them but it also for everyone else so we can all be better supports for our friends, family and strangers.
It will be hard for some, probably most, and we have compiled a list of resources for everyone to access who may have experienced pregnancy and baby loss and for people who may need support after listening to our podcast.

36. What you need to know about your thyroid in pregnancy.
The Kick Pregnancy Podcast
07/16/20 • 25 min
Issues with your thyroid are common in the baby-making years. In Australia about 2-3% of pregnant women are hypo or hyperthyroid. Then there is post-partum thyroditis. This is something that happens to 1 in 20 women after their baby is born. This needs careful assessment because the signs and symptoms can be dismissed as 'just part of having a newborn' or it can look like postnatal depression.
In this podcast we talk about:
- What the thyroid gland does in our body
- What is hypo and hyperthyroidism
- The special plans you have to make in pre-pregnancy
- What changes during your pregnancy if you have problems with your thyroid
- What medication you can take during your pregnancy
- What is post-partum thyroiditis

45. Pelvic Girdle Pain in Pregnancy with Kath Baquie
The Kick Pregnancy Podcast
05/20/21 • 46 min
We get a lot of questions coming in through our DM’s and this episode is a response to a request from one of those lovely listeners who was diagnosed with Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) at week 15 of pregnancy.
What is Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction, you ask? Apart from being a mouthful to say, it can also be referred to as pelvic girdle pain and it’s something I struggled with during my third and fourth pregnancies. And let me tell you, it’s painful.
To help answer some questions surrounding pelvic girdle pain, what it is, why women get it and what can be done about it, I’m joined by Kath Baquie, a perinatal physiotherapist, mum of three young girls with plenty of personal and professional experience in the area.
Kath is the founder of FitNest Mama, an online membership providing support and inspiration for pregnant women and new mums. In this episode we talk about the different reasons why some women develop pelvic girdle pain, the common risk factors and different ways to help ease the pain and discomfort associated with it.
We talk about the importance of taking care of our bodies as they undergo such huge change throughout pregnancy and childbirth and Kath’s recommendation for all women to engage in a postnatal rehab plan.
If you’ve got a little niggle or perhaps battling severe discomfort, this episode will be really helpful for you. Don’t put up with pain if you don’t need to!
