E144. How to Prepare to Be a Dad!
22 januari 2024 · 39 min
How to prepare to be a dad with Gordon, Mantenatal Founder
I felt first-hand the benefits of a well-prepared dad when we had our first born and my husband knew what he could do to help me and to bond with our son. But becoming a dad can be daunting, maybe there are questions you haven’t had the opportunity to ask, or you don’t feel the routine appointments and birth and parenting prep is well aligned to you as a man. The truth is your role as a dad in birth and with a newborn is massive, and preparing well makes the whole journey a calmer, smoother and more enjoyable one for all.
I am super excited for this week’s guest to talk about preparing for fatherhood and debunking myths and misconceptions. Gordon, the founder of Mantenatal @mantenatal is here so if you are a dad to be listening get your notebook at the ready, or if you’re an expectant mum make sure you share this one with the man supporting you through birth and the postpartum.

What you need to know about Diastasis Recti | Grainne Donnelly Lees meer
It is not a surprise to us that our bodies undergo enormous change during pregnancy and childbirth and one of the biggest issue’s women are often faced with is diastasis recti- whereby the abdominal muscles separate, leaving a gap.
For many women this can have a huge impact on their physical and psychological wellness, and it is not a condition that is commonly discussed prenatally leaving women unsure as to why a diastasis has happened to their body and what can be done to help correct it.
So, I am very pleased to be joined by Diastasis Recti expert Grainne Donnelly to reveal all we need to know about this surprisingly common symptom.
Gráinne is an Advanced Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health. Her particular areas of interest include diastasis rectus abdominis and perinatal exercise. She is involved in research on both of these topics and looks forward to exploring and developing how we understand them so that we can better serve the women of today. Gráinne is an honorary member of the Perinatal Physical Activity Research Team and is on the specialist advisory board of the Active Pregnancy Foundation. You can check out more of Grainne’s fantastic information and resources over on her Instagram page @absolute.physio and website https://www.absolute.physio.

Sex In Pregnancy and After Giving Birth | April Davis
Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.61
We are going there! We are talking about sex during pregnancy and after you have had a baby. One of those subjects you may not want to talk with your mum or friends about but fear not because here on my podcast we love diving into taboo subjects and making sure no stone is left unturned.
Sex is a topic that often makes us blush or shy away from discussion, but I am not sure anything could make this week’s guest blush, as a sex educator April Davis spends her days writing about vaginas.
On Instagram as @thevaginablog April openly discusses all the things you want to ask but are too shy to. April describes herself as the reason you slightly tilt your phone away from others when you're scrolling and that is the exact reason, she is the perfect guest to join us today.
I am very grateful that April is taking time out from blogging at thevaginblog.com and swapping seats from hosting her own podcast to join me here today to share why talking about sex and vaginas need not make you blush. Lees meerExtra Stuff:

E138. BITESIZE | Mental Health in Pregnancy | Tessa Van Der Lord

Mental Health in Pregnancy with Tessa Van Der Vord
Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.46.
Pregnancy is a momentous time in a woman’s life, our bodies are dipped into a rollercoaster of hormonal changes and the physical and psychological adaption that takes place is huge. Mental health is thankfully being discussed more in pregnancy than in previous generations but there is still an air of taboo that surrounds this subject and it is so important we break those barriers down to support women.
On this week’s episode I am joined by fellow midwife Tessa Van Der Vord, who is a specialist NHS Mental Health Midwife and can be found on Instagram as @mentalhealth_midwife.
We are going to discuss the why’s, how’s and what’s of pregnancy mental health and help women realise they are absolutely not alone in any struggles they may face on this journey.
Tessa is a registered midwife and has been working for the NHS for the past 12 years. Prior to this, she trained as a midwife in Manchester and then moved home - working at a London hospital ever since. She has worked in most areas of midwifery but then settled into a specialist mental health post in 2016. In November 2020, Tessa gave birth to her first baby (Rupert - “Roo”) and experienced being pregnant and becoming a parent in a global pandemic. For many reasons, this journey was a huge learning curve for Tessa and it has had an influence on her practice in many ways. Tessa is in the process of returning to work and is really looking forward to working with pregnant people and their families again.
Some of the resources mentioned by Tessa are below:

How to Manage Pelvic Girdle and Back Pain in Pregnancy with Clare Bourne Lees meer
Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.44
Think of a pregnant woman and I bet most of us recall seeing someone waddling about clutching their lower back looking somewhat less than comfortable. Pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy is a hugely common issue, so much so in fact that often we assume it is part and parcel of pregnancy and something we must simply endure. But what if that is not the case? On this week’s episode I am delighted to welcome back the wonderful Clare Bourne who you may remember from Season 1 when Clare shared so much wisdom on Pelvic Floor Health. I always learn so much when I chat with Clare and hope that you will too as we discuss the real truths around pelvic girdle and back pain in pregnancy.
Clare is an experienced Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and mum of 2. Clare’s passion for providing evidence-based information to mums during pregnancy and the postpartum period is driven by her ethos that women should never feel alone, or experience symptoms without support so I am immensely grateful that she is with us today.

How to Grow Health Babies with Michelle Henning
Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.35
All expectant parents have one main goal in mind- to grow a healthy baby.
We have seen such a rise in childhood conditions such as asthma, eczema, allergies and obesity over recent years, all conditions that can be unpleasant, troublesome and affect the quality of a child’s life
But what if there was evidence that we could actively adopt some very simple lifestyle changes in pregnancy to help reduce the risks of such conditions?
Well, I don’t know about you, but I am all ears for this chat with the wonderful Michelle Henning. Michelle is a mother herself and author of ‘Grow Healthy Babies’ a book I highly recommend reading and is linked below:
https://www.growhealthybabies.com
Michelle and her husband suffered from lifelong allergies themselves and wanted their children to not have to endure the dietary restrictions, skin issues and health complications they had, had to and so this incredible book and resource for other parents was born.
On this episode Michelle shares some of the simple, yet highly effective and empowering things we can do in pregnancy and parenthood to help protect our babies from these common childhood conditions and to ultimately ‘grow healthy babies’.

Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.33
Pregnancy is such a momentous time in a woman’s life, your body is entirely devoted to growing a new little human life… or two! Breasts, bums and bellies grow rounder, our skin changes, we grow a superhuman sense of smell and can often vomit or cry with the flick of a switch.

Perineal and Vaginal Tearing during Birth - With Dr Brooke Vandermolen Lees meer
Today's Bitesize clip is from episode E.27.
If there is one thing that seems to occupy an expectant mum’s mind in the preparation for birth it has to be perineal and vaginal tearing. And for good reason, the natural stretching that takes place during birth can result in some degree of tearing for around 85% of women having a vaginal birth. So, arming ourselves with the correct information, considering measures that may help prevent tearing and how to care for the area in the postpartum are super important.
I am delighted to be joined by the perfect guest, Dr Brooke Vandermolen, to help me bust the common myths and ensure you are informed with accurate, evidence-based information to switch you from a mindset of feeling scared to feeling prepared for the birth of your little one.
Dr Brooke Vandermolen is a practicing Obstetrics & Gynaecology Registrar doctor, and a mother of 2 babies under 3. She has presented her research into high-risk pregnancy at major international conferences and published in prominent medical journals. Brooke is experienced at dealing with all aspects of women’s health and pregnancy, including assessing patients with a range of gynaecological concerns, and performing and assisting in surgical procedures.
Brooke has created her educational platform “The OBGYN mum” @theobygnmum via which she shares insights and tips around pregnancy, fertility, menopause and more through social media and blog posts. She aims to empower women to feel in control of their health throughout their lives by imparting evidence-based knowledge in a relatable way and myth-busting common taboo subjects.

Diastasis Recti and Doming in Pregnancy and Postpartum with Aby Tobin Lees meer
If you have heard of diastasis recti in pregnancy or the postpartum then you have probably heard the term doming. If these terms are all new fear not today’s episode is going to reveal all. But if you have heard the term doming it has likely sparked some fear in your mind or even led to you avoiding or restricting exercises and movements. Over the years, the advice and science about diastasis has shifted and we now know such much more, but the trouble is this information and support is not as readily available as it should be for pre and postnatal mums.
For this reason I am super excited for this week’s guest Aby Tobin @abytobinphysio, a pelvic health and exercise specialist physio, mum of 2 and a former athlete who has personally experienced prolapse.

I think it is important we keep things real, both in terms of the less idealistic side of birth but also the challenges that come with motherhood and how burnout can impact so many of us.
This week I am joined by Illiyin Morrison, known on Instagram @mixing.up.motherhood. Illiyin is a birth trauma specialist midwife, qualified hypnobirthing instructor, birth debrief facilitator and mother of two. This episode is for anyone who has had a baby, wants to share the load and to realise they are not alone in the thoughts and feelings they may be having.
Illiyin’s book is available here:
