    Bonnie's Trimester Four in Review

    Bonnie's journey through Trimester Four is the focus of today's episode and it is a true testament to her unending strength and resilience! During her pregnancy, Bonnie experienced complications in the form of severe preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and hip pain that prevented her from walking more than a few metres. But it was after her son Patrick was born (at 37 weeks and 2.5 kilograms) that the real challenge began. Jaundice, a tongue-tie, and power vomiting characterised the first 6 weeks of Bonnie's fourth trimester. Listen to the episode to hear Bonnie candidly share stories from what she describes as the most difficult period of her life, as well as some of the highlights and what kept her going! Her limitless capacity for perseverance is truly inspirational.   Key Points From This Episode: Complications that Bonnie experienced during pregnancy that made her high-risk Latching issues that Pat experienced Managing preeclampsia after giving birth The various factors that made Pat's case a complex one Discoveries that were made at Pat's first IBCLC appointment at two weeks old Challenges that followed Pat's frenectomy Positive changes that began to take place at the 6-week milestone Highlights of Bonnie's antenatal journey Products that Bonnie recommends for new Mums And so much more!   Links mentioned in today's episode: Bonnie Hayes Bonnie Hayes on LinkedIn Ergobaby Spectra Baby SRC Recovery Leggings Pop Family

    Our Birth Stories With Bonnie & Heidi

    Welcome back to another episode of the Pop Family Podcast! The beautiful Bonnie is back with us again today to share her and Heidi's birth stories from January this year (2022). The accounts of their birthing experiences are quite detailed and may be triggering for some. We begin with Bonnie's journey as she tells us of her pre-labour experience, why she had to be induced, and why her options around her delivery were limited. We learn about her transition into active labour, why she chose to be in her body rather than her head, how she instinctively knew when to start pushing, and what her preferences for delivery were. Heidi shares why she loved having both a private obstetrician and midwife, what 'stretch and sweeps' means, her dilemma when trying to ascertain whether her contractions were real, and how she entered a fully meditative state. Through Heidi's birthing story we learn how the bath became her happy place, and how she was eventually able to find the resolve to push after an arduous 12-hour labour. This is a truly enlightening episode and, if you'd like to hear the names of the two special bubs, be sure to tune in!    In today's episode, we cover: Back-to-back contractions and being your body rather than your head  How when to start pushing was natural and instinctive for Bonnie    Bonnie's hospital plan and preferences for her delivery Heidi's birth story, starting with her birthing preferences The perks of having a private obstetrician and midwife Heidi's pre- and early labour journey How she got into the zone and found a fully meditative state Finding the resolve to push after 12 hours of active labour The name reveals of Heidi and Bonnie's little bubs And so much more!   Links mentioned in today's episode: Bonnie Hayes on LinkedIn Australian Birth Stories Heidi Trusler (Begg) on LinkedIn Pop Family
