Mum Talk Emma Jaulin

Hello and welcome to this weeks podcast, which brings us to the end of this series!
Today Karen joins us to talk us through the female genitalia and the changes this area may go through during and post pregnancy. 
Karen trained as a midwife at The University of Leeds and during her career has worked at numerous hospitals in West Yorkshire. As well as working in the Delivery Suites, Karen was a founding member of the Leeds Homebirth Team, working to support women and helping to develop midwives’ skills in physiological birth. Her passion lies in homebirths and waterbirths and also supporting women to own their choices in pregnancy and childbirth.
Talking points include:
What do women know about their bits?
What are the parts of the female genitalia called? 
What is vaginal discharge? Pre, during and post pregnancy
Does vaginal discharge change in pregnancy?
What are the signs of abnormal vaginal discharge? UTI’s, cystitis, thrush, self-help remedies and medical treatments.
What other changes can happen during pregnancy to the vagina and vulva area? Swelling of the area, haemorrhoids/piles, vulvar varicosities and why this is more common during pregnancy and postnatally.
What can be done during labour to protect your bits? Positions during birth for active birth and bed/epidural birth, benefits of water/waterbirth, perineal compresses.
Huge thank you to Karen for joining us and the whole My Expert Midwife team for supporting this series of Mum Talk. It has been a dream partnership for me. I hope you have all picked up some goodies for yourselves with the discount within the podcast.

This week on the podcast we are talking all things toddler behaviour with parent consultant, Harriet Crouch. 
From screaming, hitting, biting, whining to introducing the new baby to sibling and fussy eaters we cover it all. Harriet is a fountain of knowledge, lead by many many years experience in childcare settings and from parenting her own children, Harriet shares with us just how to handle the more challenging times every parent faces with a toddler!

This week on the podcast I am joined by Dr Cristina Soma to talk all about skincare whilst trying to conceive, during pregnancy and postnatally. 
We talk through the specific products which are unsafe during pregnancy, how to avoid pigmentation, whether you can avoid stretch marks, follow treatment regimens, guidance on skincare when trying to conceive and whilst breastfeeding, plus common pregnancy skin conditions post birth and treatments for these. 
If you sent in a question through mumtalkpodcast instagram we go on to answer those too!
I hope you find our conversation as useful as I did, I wish I had had this convo when I was pregnant, it would have saved hours of googling!
Enjoy, love Emma x

Hello! This week I could have delayed putting the podcast out because it has been a week, but instead I wanted to chat with you all in the moment.
It has been an emotionally exhausting week with illness, jabs, our toddler really testing the boundaries and a rise in anxious thoughts. This is real motherhood too, and this podcast is the highs and lows...too often on social media and podcasts we hear about the highs, so this podcast is a little more of the challenging times. I am sure a lot of you can relate. 
Please do reach out and connect if you're feeling the same, over on mumtalkpodcast insta. 
Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a lovely rest of your week.
