The MKH Podcast

We chat with Caitlin Dyer, A Hypnobirthing Coach and Postnatal Specialist. Caitlin is a mum of 2, with experience in both hospital and home births and shares her story with us in the studio. We chat the ins and outs of hypnobirthing, expectations as a mother, understanding your rights and how you can surround yourself with positivity post-birth. She shares the reason why she chose to be a postnatal doula and why she believes all women should feel empowered and in control through labour and birth.

Episode 5

This week on the MKH podcast, we chat about the influence of Instagrammers who show a 'perfect' postpartum experience and body shortly after the birth of their baby and how this can affect not only women who are going through a similar situation but also expectant mothers. We also delve into swelling, bloating and fatigue throughout pregnancy and why this may occur. If you're after some tips on staying active throughout pregnancy, how to avoid swelling and bloating, getting through sleep deprivation and fighting fatigue, then this podcast is right up your alley!

As discussed in the podcast, great activewear for expectant mothers include; @activetruth @lululemon

Bree is our amazing resident Mama and has been with us since day 1. This is her story; raw, emotional, incredibly insightful and kind. We delve deep into her first pregnancy, labour and birth - focusing on her opinions and experiences with her chosen model of care, birthing and conception challenges, meeting her baby girl and dealing wth the pressures of those around her.

Today we’ll be chatting about how to combat the mentality around a “pre-baby body”, the why behind cellulite and body fat and what social media is doing to destroy your self esteem.

The conversation on the table today is why we continue to destroy our own perception of how wonderful has body is whilst baking and birthing a miracle.

If someone offers you a little piece of advice, and you find it doesn't fit you, take it on board and leave it behind when it suits.

We understand in this day and age it’s easy to get caught up in the realm of social media, marketing techniques and false advertising - people in these roles are professionals, their job is to make you feel a certain way to buy into their product or program.

Find women who inspire you, educate you and empower you. Not bring you down! We are loving @tiffhall_xo, @lindylim @the.quinn.girls and of course @emilyskyefit.

We are loving creating these podcast, we hope you enjoy listening to them!

Stay tuned for the next one.

Hosts Sarah Murphy and Tiernan Pashley from @mamaknowhow.
