Mum Talk Podcast (Emma Jaulin & Ali Bastian)

This week has been a beautiful week, if you follow me on social media you may have seen I was in Cornwall with one of my closest friends, relaxing and taking in all the fresh sea air! This however meant not getting back on track with the Wednesday podcast release day! However as there is not long now until Wednesday I thought I would share this episode with you, recorded before I birthed Amandine. 

This episode I was running a retreat in Devon and I was lucky enough that I had repeat guests who have now of course become very good friends of mine..and they asked ME a bunch of questions! 

Enjoy! Xxx

On this weeks podcast I answer your questions which have me chatting a little too much about Christmas, but with lockdown starting tomorrow I do believe a little festive spirit is needed! 

Topics include: 

Lockdown ideas

Fun festive things to do through lockdown and into December

Play/toy recommendations

Present ideas

and briefly touching on what we have changed with A's sleep (do listen to last 2 weeks podcasts for Sleep) and relationships with toddlers in lockdown. 

Within this episode I share my thoughts on the fabulous Out n About Nipper Single. As you'll hear I think it is fantastic, if you'd like to take a closer look here is the website link http://outnabout.com/product/nipper-single (This product was gifted in return for an honest review). 

Have a lovely rest of your week and I so appreciate you listening. If you're not yet subscribed please do, and I always appreciate a review if you have a moment.

This week is my biweekly catchup with you all! Amandine is on her way out of her leap and starting to share with us all of her new skills! I have had my mum world rocked by receiving an Elvie Pump (gifted) https://www.elvie.com/shop/elvie-pump which means I can finally start to get Amandine to take a bottle, plus build a supply in my freezer for emergencies or when I just need some me time. If this is on your wish list have a listen, I am not exaggerating when I say it truly is a game changer! 

I've had a lot of questions recently asking how I am doing as a mum, and I realised I often don't talk about this, I spend most of my time chatting about Amandine. So this week I try my best to open up about a few things going on in my mind which I am sure a lot of you will be able to relate to. 

As always any questions or if you need a chat email me at mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com or DM me at 'emmajaulin' on instagram.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Clare Bourne, a pelvic health physiotherapist with a passion to support women and men throughout their lives. She believes in talking openly about taboo topics and ensuring everyone feels comfortable to get support even for problems that may feel embarrassing.

Clare has a particular passion in supporting women during pregnancy and after birth, helping them to seek treatment for any pain or pelvic floor dysfunction they experience. Clare is also a mum of 2 and having lived pregnancy and the postnatal experience she knows what a precious but also vulnerable and sometimes lonely experience it can be. 

Clare joins me today to talk all about pelvic health, from pelvic floor exercises to painful sex. Plus answers all your questions!

If you had questions from my chat with Charlie from Bumps and Burpees that we didn’t answer they are answered within this podcast with Clare! 

General Topic: General pelvic health - what is it, what do we want, how do we want it to feel? 

Questions: 

Prenatal

Pelvic girdle pain

Had hip pain in last pregnancy and etc again - best ways to protect against this?

2nd pregnancy - need to do perineal massage?

Pain during sex - under discussed topic

Can a strong pelvic floor hinder pushing phase in labour?

Could I ask solutions for back pain? I heard the belt is not always the best option?

I’m rubbish at remembering - does doing a couple pelvic floor exercises here and there still have benefits?

I have pelvic floor pain quite bad at 29 weeks will me labour likely be worse because of this? Or after it?

Postnatal

Is there any way to minimise the c-section pouch of skin?

C- section exercises to get rid of lip over scar?

Diastasis recti: treated and is now less than 1cm but still looks awful what can I do?

Prolapse

Heavy dragging feeling?

Had third degree tear. Pregnant with 2nd. Chance it will happen again? Can I opt for a c section?

I have a pretty good pelvic floor my little boy is 9 months old but trampolines are a no go. Any tips or advice?

Get a dull ache in my vagina while on my period. I had a 3rd degree tear 1 year ago - still under a physio.

Post birth when I get up out of the bath I cant control the need to wee! No other issues, what to do.

Starting to leak urine, almost 3 years postnatal. Help!

Why is purple pushing coached so much when it can damage the pelvic floor?

Thank you so much for listening, next week on the podcast you actually have me!! I will be catching up with you all on all things Amandine and of course pregnancy and my unknown incredible nesting ability! If you are not already following head over to @mumtalkpodcast on instagram where I will be asking if you have any questions for next weeks episode.

How I have got this podcast up in time with little A ill I don’t know, but I am so pleased I have managed because it is brilliantly informative! This week I am chatting with Dr Christina Schelletter an expert in bilingual acquisition, bilingual processing and language disorders. 

Christina has published many research papers (one I attempted to read and swiftly couldn’t understand) but also has a ‘Introduction to Bilingualism’ book coming out very soon (CLICK HERE FOR LINK).

Christina joins us this week sharing her professional knowledge but also drawing from personal experience. Christina is German and brought up two daughters bilingual!

As Hendrik and I embark on this journey with A, I ask her ALL the questions;

Is it harder for babies to learn two languages? 

What are the recommendations?

Can both parents go between languages?

Methods to increase exposure to the minority language.

Best ways to increase vocabulary. 

If parents are both English or one language, can another language be taught at a young age?

Starting to write French. 

Is it true that children speech is delayed when bringing them up bilingual?

And so much more as always!

This week also marks episode 8 of a 10 part series! But do not fear we are of course back for Series 6! What would you like to hear? DM me at mumtalkpodcast instagram or email me at mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com. 

Series 5 is supported by @bugaboostrollers . Make sure you listen closely to the interlude and right to the end of the podcast for their little gift to you! We’ve got you covered! Be sure to head to bugaboo.com/mumtalk for the full Bugaboo range which we talk through this week.

Hendrik and I try so hard in our lives to not be consumers of plastic products....but it is so much harder with baby products! This is such an interesting podcast, we only touched on this stuff but it is definitely a place to get started and be inspired!

Please note: in this podcast I do talk about pregnancy and preparing for baby.

This week on the podcast, after a little catch up with me, I am chatting with Laura Clifford, Head of Pre-Prep at Blundell’s Preparatory School. 

Having studied for a Bachelor in Primary Education at Edinburgh University, Laura has worked across a range of Nurseries and Primary Schools. Laura took a short break from teaching in schools to have both her boys, (now 7 and 4) but set up her own Educational Support business for families and children within this time. She provided early learning parent workshops, private 1:1 tuition, a blog and small groups for home schooled families. She returned to school life in September 2018 when she took up the role of Head of Pre-Prep at Blundell’s Preparatory School in Tiverton, where she continues to build a thriving and hugely happy Nursery and Pre-Prep up to Year 2. Laura is dedicated to support families and children particularly at the early stages of the education journey and passionate about allowing each child to develop and grow to the best of their ability. 

Today Laura joins me on the podcast to talk about choosing a nursery and preparing your little one for nursery and school. We also cover all your listener questions. 

Topics:

What age is it recommended for little ones to start nursery? Do you see a difference if they start early?

What does nursery provide children?

What should parents be looking for in a nursery?

What happens at nursery?

Can little ones nap at nursery?

How to cope as a parent when leaving your little one for the first time

What are your thoughts on Forest school? 

Listener specific questions: 

What sort of approaches would be expected for dealing with behaviour issues?

Is it ok to take our 1 year old out of nursery for school holidays or will this unsettle her?

My 9 month old boy is due to start nursery soon, v spewy baby, how many clothes to pack?

If starting at 3 years old, what key things should we look out for/ show a great setting?

The longer you leave it to start nursery is it harder for child to adjust? Struggle leaving Mum and Dad etc?

Best thing to do to prepare your 2.5yr old? Especially after lockdown/less social contact.

I have heard summer babies tend to lag behind in school as they are the younger in their year. Is this true? Also worth sending them to school a year later?

14 month old does tiny naps at nursery (2 naps). How to help - she does 4 days.

I didn’t realised how long waiting lists would be. When is it best to register baby for nursery?

My mother in law keeps telling us to look at a private school for my child who will be starting reception, be we have an excellent state primary on our doorstep. What are the differences?

What to expect of nursery during covid?

Thank you so much for listening, I will be back in a couple of weeks with a brand new mini series! Covering all things baby prep and more!  

Please do leave a review, subscribe and rate - it really helps other mums to find the series and be supported by our wonderful community.

We discuss the science behind exercise during pregnancy, blood capacity, exercise no-no's in pregnancy, abdominal bracing, pelvic floor exercises and preventing tearing, postnatal pelvic floor work, post natal inner unit work, lochia, running post birth and exercises post birth.

Today I am honoured to provide a space for two incredibly inspirational parents to share their story.

Charis and Scott, parents to a beautiful baby girl a few months younger than Amandine are parenting with an added challenge. Scott lost his sight 12 years ago and is parenting with no vision. After chatting regularly on social media we met (in real life) at the Bugaboo Ant launch event where I hosted a live panel conversation and I managed to persuade them to join me on Mum Talk a month or so later! They are just AMAZING, their incredible strength and outlook on life ahead shines through their words.

Scott is passionate about raising awareness, educating and normalising the conversation around visually impaired parenting. If anyone has any questions from this podcast there will be a question box on @mumtalkpodcast stories now, or connect with Scott on instagram @dadcantsee .

If you have a moment please do subscribe, rate and review, it really does help others to find this podcast. I love hearing from you, feel free to DM me on instagram or email at mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com.

Happy New Year to you all and thank you all so much for joining MUM TALK for the third series in this podcast!

Back from our Christmas break away, our first with Amandine, I am checking in with you all on how we found Christmas, trying to settle Amandine in new surroundings. Amandine has also found her thumb! I would love to know your thoughts on thumb sucking...yay or nay? I also share with you a couple of helpful tips when buying a baby monitor!

During this series we have some fantastic guests joining us including chats with a perinatal psychiatrist, doula and active birth teacher and advice on fitness during and post pregnancy!

Looking forward to another series of sharing with you all!

Hot off the press! Just this morning Lisa and I chatted all things motherhood! Lisa is a working mum, yoga teacher and professional dancer living in London. Although I still didn't get through all the questions I had for her, we talked pregnancy, diet, symptoms, travelling with a newborn, her relationship with her partner after birth, connecting, Lisa's personal yoga practice, juggling work with pregnancy and work with motherhood, coming back to work and so much more. Lisa shares her beautiful and incredibly positive birth story. Being pregnant myself, people seem to tell me negative birth stories, it is so so refreshing and strengthening to hear Lisa's strong and positive birth story, so if you are in need of hearing a positive story listen in!

Enjoy, Love

Its a terrifying thing to even think about, administering first aid on any level to your infant or young child. Liz and I discuss a few of the key questions which have kept coming up in emails and messages over the last few months. We cover seizures and what that might look like (especially in this hot weather), safe sleeping, CPR, falls, head bumps, choking, burns including sun burn and basic first aid kits. What this podcast highlights most is why it is so important to, if you can, take a first aid course.

Disclaimer: listening to this podcast and Liz's descriptions by no means gives you enough information to perform anything we discuss here on your child.

It's true, series 5 has come to and end...with an unexpected guest appearance from Amandine! Her nap ended a touch too early when I was mid convo so do excuse the odd baby or I should now say toddler noise in the background. The Mum juggle is REAL!

Today is a catch up on all things, feature topic being stopping breastfeeding! 

I also touch on;

Sleep, Play, Guilt, Work, Help with Amandine, Exhaustion and how I have been fairly unsuccessfully trying to juggle it all! 

If you take one thing away from todays podcast let it be an encouragement to ask for help before it gets overwhelming.

HUGE thank you to all of you for listening to this series, I cannot wait to share series 6 with you and of course another thank you to our sponsors Bugaboo for their support through Series 5!

Welcome to series 2 of Mum Talk! These last few weeks have been a whirl wind, on Tuesday 4th September we welcomed our little girl into the world. I wanted to start series 2 with my birth story which I know many of you have been waiting a while for, so here goes! I have tried to include as much detail as possible, if you are yet to give birth and prefer not to know perhaps skip this one until you have given birth. 

Any questions at all DM me on instagram 'emmajaulin' and I will get back to you asap!

Hello from France! On todays episode of Mum Talk I share with you our first journey abroad, actually our first long journey anywhere with two children! Our journey involved a five and a half hour afternoon ferry followed by a seven hour car journey through the night. It wasn't a disaster! We dropped all expectations for the journey and I think thats my biggest piece of advice! Over the weeks leading up to our journey we constantly explained to Amandine what we would be doing so by the time the day came she was well prepped and knew what to expect. I really do believe this made a huge difference. 

Any questions at all please do let me know, DM me over at mumtalkpodcast on instagram Thank you so much for tuning in and I hope our shared experience helps for any future adventures you are headed out on!

Trigger warning - during this episode I am sharing my experience over the last few months TTC. If you are going through this also this may be supportive but may be triggering.

An unedited, raw sharing of why I took a step back from everything these last few months. As you know we have been trying for a year and it all became very overwhelming. I know there are so many of you going through something similar, I wanted to share this so you know you are not alone and it is ok to feel the way you are feeling. The emotional rollercoaster of TTC is another one of these less talked about topics, so I hope this podcast will offer support.

I'll be on social @mumtalkpodcast if you want to reach out!

Welcome back for episode 2 of Mum Talk mini series, all about preparing for birth and baby!

This week, as promised I am talking through what to expect in the early days for Mumma and baby (I have reminded myself by listening to a few of the episodes I recorded when Amandine was just a few weeks old - I have highlighted episodes on last weeks instagram post on mumtalkpodcast). The focus of the podcast is baby and Mumma essentials! I have by no means covered everything but it is a start! I focus on essentials post birth again for Mumma and baby, sleep essentials for baby, hospital bag essentials, home birth essentials and when the time is right to get out and about essentials!

I also share essential recommendations which some of you shared over on mumtalkpodcast instagram, thank you for your input as always! 

I will do a follow up post later on this week listing out all of what I mentioned as I think it is sometimes helpful to see it in black and white, so do keep an eye out for that on insta.

I then move on to your questions and share the wonderful advice and experiences from our listening mums! These include:

- child learning French when not spoken in household

- stopping driving 2 year old to sleep

- worries about 2nd baby pushing marriage over the edge

- how lockdown has affected babies

- dealing with sadness of stopping breastfeeding

- group B strep experiences

- coping with hyperemisis

- gender disappointment

- child care for baby no.1 when labouring with baby no.2

- sending 1 year old to nursery

- secondary infertility

A huge thank you to all of you who have listened through this series! I cannot wait to connect with you all through series 9! Make sure you are following @mumtalkpodcast on instagram for updates and the odd Q&A over the Christmas period and we will be back next year!

IT'S A MUST LISTEN! If you are intrigued by what hypnobirthing is then you absolutely must listen to this weeks episode! If you're like me....it is not what you think it is. It most definitely has nothing to do with being hypnotised (not that that is what I thought). Siobhan shares with us her top 3 things of how to prepare for a positive birth and my goodness so much more. I don't think any of my podcasts have been filled with such valuable information! If you are nervous about giving birth listening to Siobhan WILL help. 

If you want to reach out to Siobhan head to www.positivebirthcompany.co.uk . She also has a youtube channel and is on social media as The Positive Birth Company.

Emma is back with a brand new series and brand new conversation with her CO-HOST Ali Bastian, who you may recognise from hit TV shows, Hollyoaks, The Bill and Strictly Come Dancing. 

Ali and Emma are in the thick of motherhood and are here to deep dive into it all with you. Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known. Ali and Emma have one goal, as it has always been from the beginning of Mum Talk almost 5 years ago, to share in the hope no-one ever feels alone in motherhood. 

Ali and Emma are here for it all, the highs, the lows, the journey that is motherhood, the realities of building a family, life, love, laughter, tears, heartbreak you name it. 

Grab a cuppa or pop your headphones in and head out for a walk, join Ali and Emma for ‘hearts on sleeves’ mum talk and journey through motherhood together.

Ali and Emma are back this week with one of the main topics that bonds parents…..SLEEP and sleep deprivation! Who doesn't love and NEED to sleep. Without enough sleep the human brain cannot function properly.

Ali and Emma share their experiences with sleep from newborn to toddler, how children can be polar opposite, the importance of turning off the noise and tuning in to what works for you and your family. For your children and YOU’RE sleep/sanity!

Ali and Emma go on to talk about how lack of sleep, sleep deprivation, and the introduction of a baby can hugely impact relationships, which can leave us in total shock at such a vulnerable time. Just how can we meet each others needs and the needs of a tiny newborn baby?

Listening back to this podcast with my lovely friend Becca, it is full of so much goodness! Our babies are with us during this recording, they made the most of their time on air getting their opinion across.  

Becca is a Pediatric Doctor and Mumma to a little boy who is just a week or so older than Amandine. During this podcast Becca shares with us her birth story and SO much more. We start by chatting about the anxiousness which came with knowing so much through her work and having to reroute her thinking around birth. Becca shares with us her experience of her baby being breech and how you could find her upside down on an ironing board, experimenting with moxibustion and also undergoing an ECV. Becca's little one was back to back, leading to an epidural, hormone drip and emergency caesarean.

We also talk about second births, recovery from a caesarean, pelvic floor recovery and Becca shares advice for mums to be and new mums.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did recording and listening back!

Hello and welcome to this weeks episode of Mum Talk. This week I have the absolute pleasure of chatting to Lesley Gilchrist, Registered midwife, Co-Founder and Clinical Director of My Expert Midwife. 

As a Registered midwife, Lesley has worked in some of the largest teaching hospitals in Europe and has extensive experience as a labour ward co-ordinator and community midwife. With over 16 years’ experience in bumps, births and babies, Lesley is an expert in pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal care, specialising in the effects and treatment of birth trauma. 

Lesley is extremely passionate about tackling pregnancy taboos and improving the experience of pregnancy and childbirth by empowering women with choices that will make a significant difference and that is exactly what she joins us here today to do! We talk through preparing for birth and answer all your questions! 

Talking points include:

• preparing for birth:
• • perineal massage - what it is and how to do it
  • preparing for a c-section
  • preparing for a hospital birth (including what and how to pack your hospital bag)
  • preparing for a home birth 
• how to protect your perineum during birth

Listener questions include:

- How is covid affecting the choices that labouring mums have?

- Traumatic 1st birth, are second births genuinely better or should I be prepping for forceps?

- Is there any way to avoid second baby being breech if first one was?

- Would it be possible to use a birthing pool for VBAC?

- Pros and cons of epidural 

- Taking baby aspirin when TTC?

- Is 2nd labour quicker? First was 2 hours!

- Best position for delivery with prolapse?

- Is it unlikely you can have an epidural with your second?

- Is it ever possible to have a home birth VBAC?

- Are there differences in care if giving birth age35+? 

- How common is it to delivery vaginally after having a c-section with first baby?

- Is a second c-section a good idea or more risky that attempting a VBAC?

- I had pain down there until 6m pp, saw a pelvic floor physio but never discovered the cause. I’m wondering if it could be from pushing when baby wasn’t in the right position?

- Are elective c-sections at 40 weeks or 38 weeks assuming everything good with mum and baby?

A huge thank you to Lesley for coming on the podcast and sharing all her extensive knowledge and expertise with us. You can find more over on the My Expert Midwife blog, head to https://myexpertmidwife.com/blogs/my-expert-midwife .

Lots of questions and possibly one of my favourite questions of all time for Hendrik; ‘what should we as mums know about being a new dad’

And of course SO much more. 

As you guys know Series 5 is supported by @bugaboostrollers. You’ll notice a change in interlude today, all about their newly launched car seat the #BugabooTurtle by Nuna; very fitting as I am chatting a little about car seats (we need the next group up). Make sure you listen closely to the interlude and right to the end of the podcast! Be sure to head to bugaboo.com/mumtalk for the full Bugaboo range.

Please do subscribe, rate and review, it really does help others to find this podcast. 

I love hearing from you, please feel free to DM me on @mumtalkpodcast or email me at mumtalkpodcast@gmail.com.

Tune in next week for a fab chat with a UK Midwife giving us insight into what we can expect from pre and post natal care.

Hello! This week I could have delayed putting the podcast out because it has been a week, but instead I wanted to chat with you all in the moment.

It has been an emotionally exhausting week with illness, jabs, our toddler really testing the boundaries and a rise in anxious thoughts. This is real motherhood too, and this podcast is the highs and lows...too often on social media and podcasts we hear about the highs, so this podcast is a little more of the challenging times. I am sure a lot of you can relate. 

Please do reach out and connect if you're feeling the same, over on mumtalkpodcast insta. 

Thank you so much for tuning in. Have a lovely rest of your week.

This week on the podcast I am joined by Dr Cristina Soma to talk all about skincare whilst trying to conceive, during pregnancy and postnatally. 

We talk through the specific products which are unsafe during pregnancy, how to avoid pigmentation, whether you can avoid stretch marks, follow treatment regimens, guidance on skincare when trying to conceive and whilst breastfeeding, plus common pregnancy skin conditions post birth and treatments for these. 

If you sent in a question through mumtalkpodcast instagram we go on to answer those too!

I hope you find our conversation as useful as I did, I wish I had had this convo when I was pregnant, it would have saved hours of googling!

Enjoy, love Emma x

Hello, and welcome to the final episode of the preparing for birth and baby mini series! This week I am wrapping up the series talking through all the final things I can think of.

This week I am focusing on late pregnancy and the hormones, irritability and nesting urges that seem to come to me at 38 weeks! I talk through the birth pool we have very kindly been loaned by https://www.gentlebirthsbirthingpoolhire.co.uk , how it works, what you receive and how it goes back. We are going to be preparing our 'birth room' on Thursday, I will be visually sharing that on mumtalkpodcast instagram so do follow if you would like to see but I talk this week through our intentions. 

I also touch on childcare for different scenarios, organisation, finishing our little boys nursery and the postpartum period. 

This week I share with you two brilliant products, one from Cybex https://cybex-online.com/en-gb/car-seats/cloudzisize who we have worked with before and really rate them. If you are after an infant car seat that swivels on a base PLUS can be used without a base and with a car seatbelt AND has a lie flat function have a listen! It really is a brilliant infant car seat.

The second product, after mentioning it on episode two is the brilliant PacaPod changing bag https://www.pacapod.com/ , its beautiful, have a listen and watch mumtalkpodcast highlights at the same time so you can see what I am talking about. 

Here are the links to kindly gifted PR products which have just made our nursery - the Kidly Lion Rug https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/tapis-petit/lion-rug/10749?colour=ocher & Kidly Giraffe animal head https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/kids-depot/animal-head-wall-decor/10829?colour=giraffe 

We will be back with series 10 late June/early July! I am so excited already! As always huge thank you for listening and making this community what it is. if you have a moment do leave a review and rate, it helps new mommas find the podcast.

This weeks episode has been requested and long awaited by many of you, especially with the hot weather we have been experiencing here in the UK.

How do we dress our babies for safe sleeping?

I am lucky enough to chat with Heidi Steel, marketing manager for the Gro Company who is also a mother herself and extremely knowledgable about safe sleeping. 

We chat about safe sleep, SIDS risk reduction, the importance of bedding tog and room temperature, the Lullaby Trust, what should a newborn wear to sleep, swaddling, how to get your baby to sleep on holiday, how to tell if they are the right temperature, routine, the best sleep time routine, when babies know crying gets your attention rather than needing something and everything in between! I also ask Heidi in her experience what her most useless baby item was, her pram and car seat choice, and her favourite Gro product!

This is definitely one NOT to skip!

TRIGGER: Dr Punam Krishan talks of birth trauma and PTSD from her first birth 6 years ago.

On this weeks podcast I am kindly joined by NHS GP and mum Dr Punam Krishan, mum to her 6 year old boy and new baby girl just a few weeks old.

Today Punam is sharing with us her beautifully positive birth story. Punam gave birth to her daughter in early April during the peak of COVID-19 and is sharing this today in the hope it will help other mums giving birth at this time. 

Punam suffered severe birth trauma and PTSD with her first birth (now 6 years ago) and amazingly through her second birth just weeks ago feels more of her trauma has healed than ever through such a magical experience. 

I truly hope you enjoy listening to my chat with Punam, I was covered in goosebumps on numerous occasions during our chat as she described her experience.

Enjoy and as always I love hearing from you so please do pop me a message or DM to @mumtalkpodcast .

You can find Punam at @drpunamkrishan

Lots of love and stay safe

Hello! Thank you for tuning in this week. 

Today there are four parts to the podcast, starting with pregnancy (if this is a trigger for you skip to 16 minutes in). Pregnancy chat is followed by your array of questions, followed by potty training and telling a sibling of a new baby. 

On the podcast this week I am sharing your advice and experience with both potty training and telling a sibling of a new baby. What is better than other mums advice who have been in the exact place you are now? I explain why I have done this on the podcast, but it is so incredibly helpful and I really appreciate all of you who wrote in to share your experiences with all of us. 

Back next week! 

Please do head over to mumtalkpodcast on instagram to be a part of the conversation and share your wonderful advice with us all on the podcast next week. I will be putting question boxes up in the next few days.

Lots of love

TRIGGER WARNING: please note this episode includes Ali’s experience of miscarriage and a very positive caesarean birth. 

Oh what a way to start a new series!  I recorded this podcast with Ali on Friday and we just knew it was one for your ears…NOW.

Ali has stared in Hollyoaks, The Bill, Doctors, Chicago UK Tour on stage, many more AND on strictly come dancing in 2009 and she made it all the way through to the semi finals!!

Ali has just become a Mumma to baby Isla who is 7 weeks old and I couldn’t be happier for her and her husband David. Ali gave birth literally just before we went into lockdown and through this podcast shares with us her journey into motherhood. 

Todays podcast is raw, honest and my goodness contains, I don’t know what the word for it is…just MORE. Whenever Ali and I talk somehow we always end up going really deep. We wanted to say if you are resonating with some of what we are talking about (and you’ll know the parts I mean) do talk it through with someone, a professional or someone you trust. 

Just some of the topics we touch on include; pregnancy, miscarriage, relationships, hypnobirthing, birth, recovery, insight into the female acting world, challenges and fears. 

Also have your pen and paper ready as Ali mentions some of her favourite mum & baby products towards the end, a few I hadn’t heard of!
