E96. Motherhood Minds and Bodies with Chloe Madeley
20 februari 2023 · 56 min
Your body after you have had a baby is different, it looks different, it feels different, it may not even feel like yours right away and our minds, well they are practically rewired. The postpartum changes are often considered negatively or as something we must correct urgently. But how about we respect this journey, accept our feelings and allow our postpartum bodies and minds to become the strongest versions of ourselves instead of punishing them or outing them down. Easier said than done? Perhaps.
This week I am joined by Chloe Madeley, @madeleychloe, mum to her gorgeous baby girl Bodhi, personal trainer and best-selling author to name just a few achievements. Having heard Chloe speak so honestly about the realities of pregnancy and postpartum change I am really looking forward to chatting some more real talk with her.
Please remember to subscribe and I hope you enjoyed listening.

E94. Being a confident Dad with Nigel Clarke
8 februari 2023 · 34 min
We have all heard the term ‘hands on dad’ or ‘modern father’ and we are thankfully existing in a world where dads are being encouraged more and more to be involved in the whole journey through pregnancy and parenthood. What I see so often as a midwife is a lack of confidence amongst new and expectant and understanding about how they can practically and emotionally be involved and supportive in the family dynamic holding dads back from reaching their fatherhood goals
This week I am joined by Nigel Clarke @nigelclarketv, dad of 3, British TV presenter recognised by many little people from Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, CBBC and currently on CBeebies The Baby Club, founder of Dadvengers @dadvengersofficial and a man on a mission to bridge this gap and ensure dads, their needs and roles are brought to the forefront of the conversation. Check out all of Nigel’s fantastic work and see what Dadvengers could do for you here : https://linktr.ee/Dadvengers
dads, Thanks for listening

E92. Getting Your Crying Baby To Sleep
23 januari 2023 · 51 min
Crying and Baby Sleep
With Calm and Bright Sleep Support- Eve and Gem Lees meerIf you are anything like me then hearing your baby cry is like someone pulling your heart from inside your body. Your gut instinct is likely to instantly pick them up, cuddle comfort, feed or rock. There are two notions that seem to exist- one in that this is the right thing to do to respond to your baby and develop deep and secure attachments and then there is the idea that perhaps we shouldn’t rush in, maybe we should even let them cry?
On this weeks episode I am joined by two women who in the eyes of many parents, mine included, are sleep angels. Eve and Gem, founders of Calm and Bright Sleep Support @calmandbrightsleepsupport, sisters and mothers to 8 children between them. Eve and Gem believe in empowering parents with solid sleep and believe it is achievable for all, but they also have a very unique take on age-appropriate responsive crying that you may not have heard of before. www.calmandbright.co.uk

E85. A positive planned Caesarean Birth experience With Georgia Adilova
5 december 2022 · 41 min
1 in 4 women give birth in the UK via caesarean Section, which means we are doing a huge injustice to 25% off the motherhood population if we do not discuss this mode of birth. Lees meer
This week’s guest is mum, Georgia @georgiedoesstuff who has recently given birth to her second baby via a Caesarean section that she chose as her mode of birth. Georgia sent me a gorgeous video capturing the moment her little girl Luna was born via caesarean that honestly gave me goosebumps, so many of her important birth preferences were incorporated into the experience and Georgia has kindly come on this week to discuss her beautiful planned caesarean birth.
I hope you are enjoying listening to Georgia’s wonderful experience, and that it has inspired you to consider how you can ensure a planned or even an unplanned caesarean birth may be positive for you should it be recommended.

E84. Why Hypnobirthing doesn’t need to be so Hippy With Beth Kitt
28 november 2022 · 45 min
Honestly, I was there once too- heard the term Hypnobirthing and imagined all the marbles, crystal balls and birthing in the forest- all very hippy style and niche. Now if that’s your thing then of course that’s cool too but actually Hypnobirthing is absolutely for you if you are expecting a baby regardless of how you may plan to birth, and it need not be hippy at all. Lees meer
On this week’s episode I am joined by fellow Midwife, mum of 4, and founder of @thebumptobabychapter Beth Kitt. Beth often speaks about the way women will always remember the day they give birth and the way it makes them feel and this is so, very true. Birth is not something we should leave to chance it is simply much too important. The truth is antenatal education is unregulated and you can train to become an antenatal educator through a short course of around 3 days in length. I will leave you to ponder on how good you feel that is…
You may have realised through this episode quality birth preparation is something I am immensely passionate about. Unfortunately, on the internet everyone seems to feel they are an expert in this area and there are more myths, misconceptions, and unreliable resources than I can bare to count. This is why I am happy to be able to sign post you to www.aptaclub.co.uk/midwifepip for free, accessible information written by experts and backed up by evidence.

E83. How we can protect our little ones in our homes With Kate Ball
21 november 2022 · 47 min
As a mum, there is nothing I wouldn’t do to protect my little boy and I was honestly shocked to hear statistics like at least 1 child under 5 years dies from an accident of which over 75% take place in the home. Our homes should be safe places for our little ones to explore and thrive and so I am super excited by this week’s guest as we can learn how to keep our little ones as safe as they can be at home. Lees meer
This week I am joined by Kate Ball, founder of Mini First Aid @minifirstaid, Kate is a paediatric first aid specialist, mum of 6 (including 2 sets of twins!!) and featured on BBC 1 Dragons' Den in 2021 securing investment from Sara Davies MBE.
On this episode Kate shares some very important information on the safety regulation of products and the numbers to look for are below:
BS EN71 Series: safety requirements for toys
BS EN 1930:2011: safety barriers (stair gates)
BS EN 16654:2015: consumer fitted finger protection devices for doorsWhilst we are talking about keeping our homes safe, I think it is important we think about how we can make them a nurturing environment too. Encouraging communication, language and imagination in our children is beautiful to watch and their early years provide such a powerful time for growth and opportunity.

E82. The undiscussed emotions of motherhood With Anna Mathur
14 november 2022 · 36 min
Oh motherhood, you think you are prepared and then it actually happens and wow it is a rollercoaster. There seems to be a taboo around sharing how we actually feel during motherhood, and it is important we normalise the spectrum of emotions we may feel as we navigate our new roles as mothers. Lees meer
This week I am joined by Anna Mathur @annamathur where we discuss the juggle of mum life amongst guilt, loneliness and overwhelm to name a few emotions.
I highly recommend Anna’s new book to help you find your calm in the chaos. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Book-Calm-New-Mums/dp/0241559812/ref=asc_df_0241559812/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=570430330025&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2248060045060247048&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045515&hvtargid=pla-1640985337587&psc=1&th=1&psc=1
I want to also share with you some important evidence.- scientists have been looking into the impact of maternal stress on a developing baby in pregnancy and have found that babies are impacted by stress, anxiety, and depression in their mothers. Fascinatingly it has been found to impact a baby’s immune response and linked to development of conditions such as Asthma.

E78. Why is There So Much Secrecy Around The First Trimester with Carly Rowena
17 oktober 2022 · 35 min
The first trimester is arguably the most physically and psychologically challenging trimester in pregnancy yet it is shrouded in secrecy leaving women feeling alone and isolated in their anxiety and symptoms. Worst of all, it means that women are left dealing with the grief of miscarriage behind closed doors.
This week we are talking about a topic I am super passionate about- why is it we are so secretive about the first trimester and is this right?
From discussing taboo subjects on her You Tube channel, to inspiring us with her workouts, supporting us to protect our minds and bodies with her retreats and moodment app and creating the most wonderful body positivity book for children ‘My Beautiful Body’ Carly Rowena @carlyrowena is an inspirational mum, keeping things real and supporting other women on her mission.

E76. How to Feel Confident To Breastfeed in Public
3 oktober 2022 · 52 min
One of the beauties of breastfeeding is the lack of prep and organisation needed, your boobs are attached to you and you have the perfect amount of ideal temperature milk on tap. Yet for many the idea of breastfeeding in public causes much anxiety and worry.

E75. Start Planning For Breastfeeding in Pregnancy with Alice Lucken

Breastfeeding, despite being one of the most natural things in the world, is often far from easy. I would go as far to say those first few weeks are one of the most challenging things I have done. Going into the early days of breastfeeding with realistic expectations and an honest understanding of what is normal, what isn’t and ways to troubleshoot these can make a huge difference and the best time to educate yourself and prevent common issues such as poor latch or supply issues is in pregnancy itself.
Today I am joined by a fellow mum and breastfeeding cheerleader, Alice Lucken @babyetaluk. Alice is a lactation consultant and postnatal practitioner dedicating her work to supporting families in their breastfeeding journeys and my goodness one thing we do know is there needs to be a heck of a lot more support!

My Birth Story Lees meer
with Midwife Pip
Honestly, I never intended on sharing my birth story.
It is such a personal, precious journey but I have experienced first-hand the power of reading and reflecting on birth stories during my own pregnancy. There are so many ‘horror’ style stories to be read, a bit like restaurant reviews- everyone leaves a bad review, but we often forget to celebrate the good ones. As a midwife, working predominantly in a high risk setting for the past few years I have witnessed many types of birth, many obstetric emergencies and many of what could be featured in the ‘scary birth story’ column. So, therefore I have chosen to share mine with you, my arm has been twisted and fitting with my ethos of supporting women to be excited for birth, not scared I feel it is important I share this.
17th September 2021- the most amazing and empowering day of my life…

E68. Normalising Emotional Well-being Practices in Pregnancy and Motherhood with Sophie Burch
8 augustus 2022 · 50 min
Becoming and being a parent is tough, perhaps the most challenging thing we will ever do as a woman. Don’t get me wrong I love being a mum but the psychological shift is huge, your life and priorities are literally turned upside down overnight. Our emotional wellbeing is more fragile and important than ever but is often right down the priority list.
This week Sophie Burch aka The Mamma Coach @themamacoach is here to share with us why and how we should and must change this. Sophie is on a mission to put mental and emotional wellbeing more on the map in pregnancy, birth and parenting. She has 16 years as a mother to 4 boys (including twins), as a perinatal therapist and coach, and a birth trauma and PND survivor. Her experience has shaped who she is and awakened her to a life of compassion and deep empathy for everyone from pre-conception through parenting to menopause. Her approach is simple: to allow people to feel held and heard, safe and worthy of love and self acceptance.. Sophie believes that our strength comes from self compassion, kindness and knowledge, which is her ethos. Her focus for 2022 is “connection” and she intends to connect with and hold space for as many people as possible.
2020 saw her launch her Book, Beyond Birth: A Mindful Guide for Early Parenting, which is an integration of all she knows will help people have a more balanced, positive experience as they transition from pregnancy to parenting. The guide is available as a published book on Amazon, an ebook & audiobook so it really is a must read that is accessible to all and is linked below:

E.67 A Personal Story Through Postnatal Depression with Dr Ivana Poku
1 augustus 2022 · 38 min
Dr. Ivana Poku bravely shares some of her experience with postnatal depression and pregnancy following previous postnatal depression.
In the UK it is estimated that 1 in 4 women experience postnatal depression and it is a subject we really need to discuss more. So, a heartfelt thank you to Ivana, a mum of 3 boys (including twins), postnatal depression survivor, blogger, motivational speaker, and author of Motherhood - The Unspoken for helping raise so much awareness. Lees meerOriginally from Slovakia, Ivana moved to England at the age of 29. After giving birth to her twin boys, she suffered major postnatal depression. But sadly, she soon understood she was not the only one struggling. Even if it doesn't go as far as depression, becoming a mother is nothing like we had expected and without relevant information and support, this can easily lead to feelings of failure and inadequacy.
After she pulled through postnatal depression, Ivana set up Mumsjourney and has been on the mission to create a world where new mums don't suffer in silence ever since.

E66. Managing Baby Reflux with Áine Homer
25 juli 2022 · 59 min
Reflux must be up there with one of the most challenging but common conditions new parents and babies face. Seeing your little one uncomfortable and upset is heart breaking so I am excited to bring you this episode packed with expert information and guidance to cut through the confusion and help you navigate this tough time.
Áine Homer, the founder of The Baby Reflux Lady, is joining me today to answer your questions around reflux. Following her own experience in mothering two babies with infant reflux, Áine was inspired to develop a way to support other parents and equip them with the knowledge needed to help their baby. After two babies with reflux, CMPA and multiple other food intolerances and allergies between them, and three years of postnatal depression to boot, Áine knew she had to do something to provide the support that just wasn’t there when she needed it, and thus the Baby Reflux Lady was born! Despite what the doctors say, reflux is not normal, and parents don’t have to wait for babies to grow out of it.

E.65 The Surprising Impact of Hormones On Pregnancy with Lisa Falco
18 juli 2022 · 37 min
We have all heard of hormones have a huge impact on our bodies during pregnancy, from enabling a conception, maintaining a healthy pregnancy and triggering labour they are a fairly major part of any woman’s pregnancy journey. But delving into exactly what impact our hormones have in pregnancy is both fascinating and incredibly empowering so that is exactly what we are going to do today.
On this week’s episode I am going to be picking the brains of Lisa Falco. Lisa is a ground-breaking FemTech engineer, she was the Head of Data at one of the biggest FemTech companies in the world - Ava Women - and has spent her career developing algorithms to decipher the menstrual cycle and help women get pregnant faster.
Lisa’s career was inspired by her own personal and devastating experience of miscarriage and a desire to understand and empower women. Lisa is also an author and her book - Go Figure!

E64. Essential Choking and First Aid Skills with Sammy Davies
11 juli 2022 · 40 min
Being a parent is a responsibility like no other, it is to have your heart walking around outside your body and your natural parental instincts are to protect your little one from any harm. So, have you considered ensuring you have the essential choking and first aid skills to keep your little one safe. Choking is one of those things we all hope we never have to deal with, but the reality is it does happen to some babies and children and therefore equipping yourself with the skills to deal with it could quite literally save your child’s life.
Todays guest is Sammy Davies, who has been empowering parents by teaching them life- saving skills for the past five years. Before having children herself, she worked in a bustling, high acuity hospital in Melbourne, Australia as a Registered Nurse. After completing her Masters in Nursing she realised she had a second passion- teaching. Becoming a Nurse Educator allowed her to share her skills, and teach student nurses, nurses and doctors at the frontline.
Soon after becoming a parent herself (and making the move to the UK), she realised that her loved ones were not equipped with the skills that they needed to care for her children in case of a medical emergency. Sharing these life- saving skills with the people around her became her focus, and she went on to start her own businesses teaching parents friendly first aid. Over the years she has helped hundreds of parents and grandparents to know what to do if an accident did occur to their little ones.
Sammy offers Baby & Child First Aid sessions, and has developed an online course devoted to all things choking, follow Sammy on Instagram @happyheartsfirstaid and check out her life-saving courses : www.happyheartsfirstaid.com Lees meerA big thank you to the sponsor of this episode- Cheeky Rascals.

Infant feeding is one of the first things on a new parents mind - it is such a fundamental part of the fourth trimester. Whether you choose to breastfeed, combination feed or formula feed you and your baby are learning a whole new skill that can take a little time and patience to get to grips with. Knowing what to expect, how to work out if your feeding journey is going well and common conditions to keep an eye out for such as jaundice can make you feel more confident and prepared as you navigate the early weeks with your little one.
On this weeks episode I am joined by Dr Shruti Nathwani, Dr Shruti is a NHS Paediatrician and host of the platform @thechildrensmedic medic. Knowing there is a gap in knowledge and support parents receive upon arrival of their newborn, she set out to try and inform parents with evidence-based information and tips.
"It was when I had my own son that I realised there were so many questions as a new parent and not enough support to go around."

E62. Helping your baby to sleep with Lisa Lamb
27 juni 2022 · 48 min
I think the most commonly searched words for new parents are… how can I get my baby to sleep. The sleep disturbances and deprivation of being a new parent are tough as I know all too well since becoming a mum myself n 2021.
If babies came with a sleep manual that would be great, but they just don’t, so we have got to figure out how to support these beautiful little joyous sleep thieves ourselves.
I think preparing for the sleep changes and understanding how to support your little one in the outside world should be considered in pregnancy, so we have realistic expectations when the time comes and know what to do.
On this week’s episode I am joined by Lisa Lamb, known better on social media as the_night_ninja. Lisa is a mum of 3 and prides her sleep coaching approach as being non-judgemental and free from any bullshit. We are all for keeping it real on this podcast, so I am excited to pick Lisa’s expert brains on all things helping your baby to sleep.

Sex In Pregnancy and After Giving Birth | April Davis
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:

How to Be a Better Mum With Izzy Judd Lees meer
Motherhood is the most beautiful, chaotic whirlwind. Some days you feel on top of the world and like you are smashing it and other days feel like they are a month long and full of relentless hurdles. We wouldn’t change it for the world, but that doesn’t mean that it is easy, so how can we mother in a more mindful way to make those rollercoaster days a little easier on us and the whole family?
This week I am so excited to chat to Izzy Judd, who as a mum of 3 is very aware of the challenges that come alongside motherhood.
Izzy is also a violinist and author of ‘Dare to Dream’ and ‘Mindfulness 4 Mums’. Izzy has been affected by anxiety through her life and has found how mindfulness and self-care can bring some calm to motherhood and that getting the family involved can help your little ones too.
Follow Izzy on Instagram @mrs_izzyjudd and check out her fantastic books which are genuinely among the most powerful I have read sharing her journey to motherhood and simple tactics to bring a calmer energy to the life of a busy mum.

E56. Busting Common Pregnancy Nutrition Myths with Rhiannon Lambert
18 mei 2022 · 39 min
Nutrition in pregnancy is a powerful force, not only does the food you eat need to nourish your body but also your growing baby. However, alongside nutrition in pregnancy comes a whole heap of myths and misconceptions. At a time where it is so important to have the facts and to be empowered to nourish your body and baby it is vital we unpick fact from fiction and I cannot think of a better guest to help us do just that today.
I am joined by the wonderful Rhiannon Lambert. Rhiannon is one of the UK’s leading nutritionists, a best-selling author and chart-topping podcast host.
In 2016 she founded Rhitrition, a renowned Harley Street clinic, which specialises in weight management, sports nutrition, eating disorders, and pre- and post-natal nutrition. As an evidence-based practitioner, Rhiannon is committed to the benefits of a scientific approach to nutrition.
In 2017, Rhiannon published her first book, the best-selling Re-Nourish: A Simple Way To Eat Well, part handbook, part cookbook, in which she shares her food philosophy to lay the foundations for a happy, healthy relationship with eating. She followed this up with Top Of Your Game: Eating For Mind & Body (2019), co-written with world snooker champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan. And her third book, The Science of Nutrition, was recently published in 2021 and is a Sunday times bestseller.
Rhiannon also hosts the top-rated ‘Food for Thought’ which gives listeners practical, evidence-based advice on how to achieve a healthier lifestyle.
So, I think it is safe to say we are in the very best hands today with Rhiannon!

E50. BONUS EPISODE: Baby’s Skin and Child’s Farm with Joanna Jensen
21 februari 2022 · 44 min
BONUS EPISODE 16: Baby’s skin and Childs Farm with Joanna Jensen, the founder of Child’s Farm
For those of you who have been listening to this season’s podcast and all the knowledge bomb packed episodes you will have noticed that Childs Farm has sponsored Season 3 to help me deliver the honest support and information you deserve over the past 15 weeks. This is an extra special bonus episode where I am joined by Joanna, the founder of Childs Farm.
I speak with Joanna about how we can best support our babies precious and sensitive skin and why this is a subject close to her heart as well as mine. I learn just how personal Child’s Farm is to Joanna and her family, why it was born and the honestly inspirational ways they have been working to ensure their products are super sustainable and even help those around the world out of poverty through co-operatives. For example, the bottles are made from plastic bottles in Indonesia that would otherwise end up in our oceans due to the lack of recycling that takes place in these parts of the world. Joanna truly has gone the extra mile for sensitive skin and kindness to our planet and I felt truly inspired chatting to her.
Joanna Jensen is the Founder of the UK’s number one baby and children’s toiletry brand, Childs Farm.
As well as being an entrepreneur, Joanna is a mother of two, Mimi and Bella. They were the inspiration behind the launch of Childs Farm and the products she created were a solution to her frustration at not being able to find natural but fun products that could cope with her two daughters’ sensitive skin, fine flyaway hair.Joanna and her team believe that every child deserves to be happy in their skin, whether that be normal, sensitive or even eczema-prone. The daily success stories Joanna hears from parents who have had their children and their own lives transformed by using Childs Farm, is what truly drives her forward.
And remember- you can currently get an exclusive 25% off child’s farm products on their we… Lees meer -
E49. Breast Health- We Are Talking Boobs, and Bras | Nicola Brown
14 februari 2022 · 35 min
They come in all shapes and sizes, sometimes celebrated but often considered a taboo. Yes, we are talking boobs, bras and our breast health. Supporting our breast health is something really under discussed so this week we are going to shine a light on our boobs and how to look after them well and the common mistakes we make when it comes to bras.
On this week’s episode we are joined by Dr Nicola Brown, an Associate Professor in Female Health and Performance and teaches on undergraduate and postgraduate health-related programmes at St Mary’s University. She is also a member of the Research Group in Breast Health at the University of Portsmouth and on the Executive Board of the Women in Sport and Exercise Academic Network. Nikki’s research is focused on increasing scientific knowledge of breast health issues to inform effective strategies for optimising health and performance of female athletes and exercisers. With so little breast health chat out there I am really looking forward to this episode with Nikki to support you and your breasts! We talk managing breast pain and importantly why so many women are wearing the incorrect bra for them!

E48. Navigating Parenting Emotions and Behaviours | Dr Siggie Cohen
7 februari 2022 · 29 min
We concentrate so much time on educating ourselves about pregnancy and birth during this precious time and then ‘boom’ we dive into the world of parenting and caring for a new baby. It is no secret that navigating this new life is challenging and amazing in equal measures. Becoming a parent is such a huge change and there are many heightened or new emotions and behaviours to be navigated.
I am super excited to chat with this week’s expert guest Dr Siggie Cohen who is a expert in the field of parenting. For more than 35 years, Siggie has worked extensively with thousands of children and families, first as a teacher and then as a child developmental specialist. Her approach has proven successful in helping parents and teachers deepen their understanding of children’s behaviours, so they can support
them through the entire range of emotional challenges, including behavioural difficulties, transitions and trauma.
Siggie and I discuss parenting anxiety, navigating the whirlwind of parenting changes and the all too common mum-guilt. For more fantastic content by Siggie check her out on Instagram @dr.siggie.

E47. Why we should adapt exercise for pregnancy? | James Davies
31 januari 2022 · 42 min
For those who have been following me on social media it will come as no surprise that I am a huge advocate of exercise during pregnancy. The benefits are huge, and it is an area I am super passionate about. But of course, we want to ensure exercise in pregnancy is done safely to support our bodies. With this in mind you can be forgiven for ending up in a rabbit warren of frantic googling when it comes to exercise in pregnancy and finding a confusing tangle of poor quality, outdated, inaccurate information. Unhelpful to say the least but also super disempowering at a time when accurate information is imperative.
I am really excited to put your questions to this weeks podcast guest and dispel some of the myths and misconceptions around exercising during pregnancy and explore the best way to navigate this precious time.
I am joined by James Davies, this man has an extensive portfolio from a career in professional support himself, to working with elite athletes in the worlds of premier league football, the commonwealth, and Olympic games. More recently James has begun to focus on the historically neglected area of women in sport, qualified in pregnancy training and shares my relentless passion for empowering women to embrace healthy, active pregnancies safely.
And on a personal note, James has been the voice and expertise behind my own pregnancy journey allowing me to enjoy physical activity throughout and genuinely have the positive, healthy pregnancy I dreamt of.
Want to know more and work with James and I throughout your pregnancy? Head over to www.midwifepip.com and check out our services on ‘Your Pregnancy Journey’. See you there! Lees meerExtra Stuff:
