E162. BITESIZE | How to have a Positive C-Section
This Bitesize Clip is taken from Episode 4... To listen to the full episode go back and listen to Episode 4.
How to have a positive Caesarean Birth
Currently in the UK 1 in 4 women give birth by caesarean section and it can be medically necessary and lifesaving for both mothers and babies. But a Caesarean Section birth can also be an empowering, positive and wholly fulfilling experience regardless of whether it is a planned or an emergency procedure. All too often women feel that giving birth via a Caesarean Section is in some way failing and can be associated with unnecessary guilty emotions. Women who give birth via Caesarean Section are warriors, it is impossible to fail at birth regardless of how it happens, and all birth is birth and is equally as momentous.
Naghmeh is a Delivery Suite Coordinator with over 40 years of experience, she featured as the star of Emma Willis’s Delivering Babies show and is one of the most passionate and dedicated midwives. On this week’s episode Naghmeh joins me to discuss what to expect from a Caesarean Section birth and how you can still feel in control and empowered regardless of the twists and turns that may crop up during your birthing journey. @naghmehty.

E161. Self Care Secrets You Need To Know
Self-care secrets mums need to know With Emma Benyon
I feel like the term self-care has become a bit of a buzz word, we hear it everywhere and yet for many of us, myself included, we can’t tangibly action it into the realities of our lives. On this episode we will be unpicking exactly what it is and exploring the secrets to benefitting from it whilst navigating our day to day.
I am excited to be joined by this week’s guest, Emma Benyon. Emma is a self-care and motherhood coach and educator, supporting busy mums who are juggling the school run with a job and building a business with the tools to be less overwhelmed and have more balance, energy and clarity.
Emma is mum to a six year old and a qualified NLP, mBIT and Practical Magic Coach and full time post 16 educator. She is the editor of Positive Wellbeing Zone for Mums and host of the Self Care and Motherhood Edit podcast. Her passion is to support busy mums to have more time and energy for the all the things they enjoy and to have the tools to support and nurture themselves.

Your Pelvic Floor Health
This week I am delighted that Clare Bourne, specialist pelvic health physiotherapist, is joining us to answer all of our pelvic floor questions. We debunk common myths and preconceptions and discuss why understanding the function and power of our pelvic floor makes pelvic floor chat turn from a dull lecture to fascination and empowerment.
Clare explains how pelvic floor dysfunction is actually very common, what to look out for, how to prevent issues arising and highlights that there is a way through, and no one should be suffering with symptoms. This episode is packed full of tips and knowledge to empower you on a positive pelvic health journey for life. @clarebournephysio

E159. Hyperemesis Solved!
The truth behind hyperemesis in pregnancy With Lindsay Salmon
One of the most debilitating and under supported areas of pregnancy has to be hyperemesis. For those who suffer this extreme, long-lasting form of pregnancy sickness it is a real struggle and support and management strategies are essential to prevent it leading to more adverse complications.

Lindsay is the Community & Engagement Manager at Pregnancy Sickness Support, the only charity in the UK providing support to those suffering from Nausea & Vomiting in pregnancy and Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG). As a survivor of 2 HG pregnancies, Lindsay knows first hand how debilitating and miserable the condition can be and she is passionate about raising awareness of HG and improving care for sufferers.

E158. BITESIZE | What it's like being an elite athlete and pregnant.
This Bitesize Clip is taken from Episode 8... To listen to the full episode go back and listen to Episode 8
I am honoured to be joined on this week’s episode by Dani Rowe MBE. Dani is a world class athlete as a former GB road and track cyclist, Olympic Gold medallist and one of the most successful British cyclists of all time. Dani was very deservingly appointed an MBE in 2013 for her services to cycling.
Dani has continued to dedicate her life to cycling and encouraging others, particularly women, to participate in sport. Founder of Rowe and King, her cycle coaching company Dani now works with and coaches all cyclists of any experience level from the most amateur to the elite. Dani is a truly inspiring woman currently undertaking a new life venture as she is pregnant and expecting her first baby. I speak to Dani about how her journey from athlete to mum has been and how her cycling career has influenced her pregnancy. We chat through the highs and lows as Dani prepares for one of her biggest challenges yet- motherhood. @dani_rowe_mbe
