*THROWBACK* Unhinged pregnancy Confessions | We're heavily pregnant, cranky and leaning into TMI. Enjoy! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to our Summer Break Throwback! This is one of our most popular episodes. Probably because we don't hold back. Enjoy! P.S. As this is a throwback episode, our Ergopouch code is unfortunately not valid at this time. _____________________________________________________________ These are our confessions. Two heavily pregnant (and slightly cranky) midwives jump on the mic and… really bare all. This one is unhinged in the best possible way - a chat that’s equal parts silly, honest, and deeply
Did Someone Suggest a Spring Break? | Migraines, teething and a rebuild on the rocks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week Beth has given a little bit of extra and unexpected love to her first baby, PowerBirth which comes heavy with logistics, literal migraines, a lot of moving parts, but also loads of gratitude and joy. There’s something really lovely about returning to a part of yourself and your work that you’ve had to put down for a while, and remembering just how much you love it. Lil’s baby is teething. So her household has officially had a case of the grizzle grumps. But, as we know all too well, gr
This Is Heaps | Hair loss, sleep advice from Reddit and surrendering to parenthood (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Beth stumbled down a Reddit hole - yes, Glimmer Girls, you read that right. Picture this: two babies, breast refusal, broken sleep and all that comes with life with twins at five months. It’s a lot. Beth has done a beautiful job of finding the reframe, reddit aside, because sometimes, when you’re deep in it, that’s all you can do. However… we are also experiencing significant and rapid hair loss. Of course we are. Lil has revisited the toddler trenches she’s been stuck in, with a bit of a lock-i
Are We Growing Or Just Eating Humble Pie? | Toddler trenches, holding boundaries and twin exhaustion hits hard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lil is deep in the toddler trenches - food refusal, parental preference, running away (quite fast) and the weighty question “ am I actually doing any of this right?”. We chat boundaries, big feelings, finding your parenting style and the push and pull of parenting a tiny person who understands far more than they can actually regulate. Beth mentions Dr Siggie for child development support if you are also looking for a little software upgrade. Beth is five months in with the twins and off the back
Do I Actually Feel...Done? | Leaving pregnancy behind, brain fog fatigue and a relationship reset (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Okay, this week we're going straight in. Lil’s house nearly went up in flames but actually just went up in fog (brain fog). She’s also navigating the stretch that comes with more kids and her relationship has had a welcome little reset (of sorts). Beth has happily welcomed weekends back into the chat in a really wholesome, no-pressure kind of way. But her growing pain is a big one, so brace yourselves. We hold hands while navigating the surprisingly heavy realisation at reaching the end of growi
