Midwife Pip Podcast ·

2021/11/15

That is right ladies- we should not ignore our core in pregnancy! So, on this week’s episode I am really excited to be joined by Hollie Grant to discuss what our

Loving your growing, changing body with Chessie King Pregnancy is such a momentous time in a woman’s life, your body is entirely devoted to growing a new little human life… or two! Breasts, bums and bellies grow rounder, our skin changes, we grow a superhuman sense of smell and can often vomit or cry with the flick of a switch.

Why caring for YOU in the postpartum is so important - With Emma Bord During pregnancy and birth your body has nurtured, grown and birthed your newborn baby.

All things Skin health with Erica Rodriguez Maintaining or even achieving a healthy, glowing complexion seems to be a never-ending mission.

Induction of Labour - With Midwife Marie Louise In the UK around 1 in 5 women have their labour induced. It therefore makes sense that we learn about induction of labour in the antenatal period. I am sure you all know by now that I am a believer of knowledge being power and that is because I feel that having honest, evidence-based information allows you to be empowered about your birth choices and feel in control of the twists and turns that may crop up. This is entirely true of induction. It can

Perineal and Vaginal Tearing during Birth - With Dr Brooke Vandermolen If there is one thing that seems to occupy an expectant mum’s mind in the preparation for birth it has to be perineal and vaginal tearing.

So, arming ourselves with the correct information, considering measures that may help prevent tearing and how to care for the area in

Positive Birth Story Em and Olive There are so many birth stories to be read, but the power of listening to and reading positive and empowering birth stories as you prepare your mind and body to meet your little one is incredible.
