Postpartum movement ft. Caroline Johnson

No Place Like Homb ·

2025/06/02

The dominant narrative around postpartum movement often centres on "restoring" the pre-pregnancy body, rather than embracing the natural evolution that occurs after childbirth. This pressure to return to intense exercise too soon can increase the risk of injury or complications—such as pelvic floor dysfunction—especially when the body hasn't had sufficient time to heal.So, when is the right time to start moving your body and safely return to exercise postpartum?In this episode of No

Women frequently report receiving inadequate or incomplete information about procedures, risks, benefits, and alternatives in perinatal healthcare, with communication often falling short of what is needed for truly informed consent. Informed decision-making is too often rushed during labour instead of being initiated earlier during antenatal care. Proactive discussions about birth plans, potential interventions, and complications can lay the foundation for more informed and confident choices during

Private Midwife ft. Rachel Wilson

2025/05/19

When talking about maternity care, Midwifery-led continuity of care models—whether through private midwives or public systems like Midwifery Group Practices (MGP)—are broadly recognised as the evidence-based gold standard for maternity care in Australia.

Yet, only 2.1% of births in Australia involve

Jason's Story

2025/05/05

Despite research showing that 7–9% of new fathers experience paternal postnatal depression, societal narratives continue to frame postnatal mental health as an exclusively maternal issue. This misconception can leave many fathers unaware that their struggles are valid, reinforcing stigma and discouraging them from seeking the support they need.In this episode of No Place Like Homb, host Kath speaks with Jason Seeman, founder of Raising Fathers, about his personal journey into fatherhood and the

Too often in western culture postpartum care is viewed as a luxury with the perception that comprehensive postpartum care is not essential unless medically necessary.Rates of postpartum depression have doubled in the last decade and Australia is facing a postpartum mental health crisis, with high prevalence of perinatal mood disorders and mental health challenges, significant economic costs, and major gaps in support services with little to no acknowledgement or support from government and policy
