Let’s talk about getting ready for motherhood (ft. all the emotions) Oh Mama

- Parenting
Okay, so episode 27 has to be my favourite episode of Oh Mama to-date. Seriously, the emotional outpour was unexpected this week people, but it happened and honestly I’m so glad I was recording when it did. I guess the old pregnancy hormones are hitting hard this week!
We’re getting all kinds of deep together as we discuss how I’m feeling a mere couple of weeks (or days, who knows!) away from becoming a mother, and the emotions, excitement and overall identity shift that comes with that.
Okay mama, here’s all the things we’re talking about:
Update at 38 weeks pregnant How I’m preparing my postpartum meal prep Birth and labour affirmations I’m using daily to help keep a positive mindset How I’m feeling as I get ready to meet our daughter for the first time Why I know I need to rest and look after myself as much as possible before baby comes Using a TENS machine for the first time and why I wanted it for labour What my Mother’s Blessing Ceremony was like Why you might want to do a Blessingway instead of a baby shower Am I feeling Braxton Hicks at night or is it nothing? Things I didn’t know about pregnancy, like birthing the placenta! Waiting for contractions and why everything seems like the start of labour When I went on maternity leave and how it’s going so far Things I’m doing in the last few weeks before baby arrives Oxytocin release and things to help go into spontaneous labour OH MAMA MANTRA: I can do anything for one minute

*Please note: this podcast is not medical advice. Instead, think of it as having a pregnancy chats with your BFF, where we keep things wildly honest, and we share what we're really thinking and experiencing as we grow a tiny human. If an episode is helpful, amazing, but it's in no way here to tell you what to do or how to be/feel/act/think. Your experience is unique and perfect to you. No comparison necessary here, but we hope hearing the experiences we share makes you feel a little less alone in the moments when you might wonder if it's only you that's going through it. I promise you mama, it isn't. You're not alone, and we're in this together - one big mama squad.
