The Fourth Trimester Hannah Tappenden

This series has been all about sharing advice from some of the women who I’ve worked with or alongside. 
Today’s guest is Sally Scott. She is a chiropractor who specialises in pregnancy with over 17 years of experience. 
She helped me, she’s helped lots of women I know and love. I recommend her all the time. 
She speaks to us today about hypnobirthing, prolapse and recovery, pelvic girdle pain, optimal foetal positioning and shares some general advice if you are pregnant at the moment.

Returning to Work with Alice Darbyshire 
Today’s guest is Alice Darbyshire. Alice’s work focuses around motherhood and career, she supports mothers and businesses to see lots of different possibilities and choices. 
This is a practical and helpful listen and she will walk you through some of the conversations that will be helpful to have around your return to work after parental leave.
She encourages you to take ownership of the process and ensure it is working for you. 
What advice would you give about planning for your return to work after maternity leave? 
Be really honest with yourself about what you want. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else and their situation. We all have different levels of support around us. Think carefully about your capacity now, how much time you have, how much energy you have and what you need as a family from a financial perspective. 
Thinking about what you actually want rather than what you think you should be doing. 
Being really honest about what is possible within your role. Thinking carefully about how much flexibility you could have. 
When would you recommend speaking with your manager about your return to work? 
As soon as you have any clarity about what it is that you want, start the conversation. You can take ownership of this process. Some managers are brilliant at getting in touch and sharing relevant information, some are terrible at this process. You may need to take the lead. 
The clearer you are about what it is that you want the more likely you are to be able to shape it in a way that works for you. 
Consider what you will need to be successful. What will you need on your first day, your first week and your first month back. 
Finding balance between home and work when returning to work after maternity leave? 
It is common for women to take on more of the household tasks whilst on maternity leave. If this works for you, great. It suits most of us. However, when you return to work this will need to be addressed. You will have less time, so you won’t be able to continue as you were before. 
Sit down and consider all the tasks that are currently on your plate. What do you want to hold onto? What could be done in a different way, or by someone else? 
If you are going to relinquish a task, you need to hand it over and step away. If you want that space, you will need to let it go. This is often easier said than done.

Choosing yourself, the power of a solid no and leaving the martyr energy behind with Rebecca Wilson. 
Rebecca Wilson has been a powerful guide for me. She has the calmest, most relaxed energy. I spoke to her about embodiment, choosing yourself and setting boundaries that honour how you are feeling (rather than how you think you will feel).  
Her work guides women into Embodied Awakening in all aspects of life. You can find out more at https://rebecca-wilson.com/about-rebecca or over on her instagram www.instagram.com/rebecca_wilson_

Welcome back to the second series of The Fourth Trimester podcast. For our first episode of this series, I’m interviewing Helen Davenport-Peace. Helen is a Fertility Yoga Teacher and Conception Doula. She supports women on their journey to motherhood too. She is also an expert in teaching and previously was a researcher and lecturer on the subject of education. 
We have been working together for the past few months to develop a birth course. We are building something new as we are frustrated with seeing women get shafted. Being sold a dreamy, serene, pain free birth and then being met with something very different. Also where the focus is so heavily on the birth with very little out there about recovery and the Fourth Trimester. 
In this conversation we cover a little bit about Helen’s experience of birth and recovery. Why this course is so important to her and her wish for women who are currently pregnant. 
It will hopefully be a helpful listen if you are planning your birth at the moment.
