Pregnancy Week 29 - What a C-Section is Really Like
24/02/2016 Duration: 15minTo continue on the path of getting you prepped for your big day, at Week 29, we’ll tackle the C-section—what really happens and how you’ll recover from the surgery.

Pregnancy Week 30 - What Giving Birth with an Epidural is Really Like
24/02/2016 Duration: 17minAs you start into your last 10 weeks of pregnancy, you might want to know a little more about the most common way to give birth: vaginally, with an epidural. It’s no surprise so many women end up delivering this way—childbirth is painful and it is the 21st century after all, so why shouldn’t we medicate ourselves? While it’s a perfectly acceptable way to do it, of course there are pros and cons, which are worth weighing up before you make your birth plan. While you should always expect the unexpected when you’re expecting, it’s still worth knowing your options. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pregnancy Week 32 - Expecting the Unexpected When You’re Expecting
24/02/2016 Duration: 16minAt 32 Weeks, you’re probably well aware of how unpredictable pregnancy can be—from losing all sense of balance, to forgetting what it means to have a waist, you’re never quite sure what’s around the corner. This feeling of lack of control happens throughout pregnancy and sometimes it can really throw you for a loop. So how do you prepare for the unexpected, especially if you take pride in being super-organized? Can you even prepare for the future? Or is pregnancy a lesson in rolling with the punches? The answer is most certainly a combination of the two. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pregnancy Week 33 - Packing for the Hospital
24/02/2016 Duration: 16minIt’s Week 33 and you can just about see your due date on the horizon. But, since babies can be about as unpredictable as everything else in your life, it’s a good idea to do what you can to prepare (which believe us, isn’t as much as you think). If your idle hands are itching to do something in preparation for so much busyness around the corner, it might be time to put them (and your partner’s) to work packing that hospital bag. But what exactly should you put in it? Opinions differ and we’ll discuss the essentials this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Pregnancy Week 34 - Due Dates are Dumb!
24/02/2016 Duration: 16minIf you’ve subscribed to a pregnancy newsletter or downloaded an app, everything is based on one thing: your due date. It’s also the first thing people ask you when they find out you’re pregnant. But what if we told you the whole idea of a due date is bogus? And that the whole idea of counting down is basically pointless. Sure it’s great to know where you are in your pregnancy for the essential stuff, like scheduling ultrasounds (and listening to this podcast), but when it comes to the final countdown, it may not matter as much as you think.

24/02/2016 Duration: 19minIt’s Week 38: you’re probably desperate to get this darn baby out one day, and terrified of the reality of being a mom the next.
