Pelvic floor dysfunction is often seen as a normal consequence or symptom of pregnancy and postnatal life. But as women's health physio Laura Watt shares “just because it is common doesn't mean that it is normal”. In today's conversation Laura shares how important pelvic floor rehab is following childbirth. We talk through topics including return to exercise, scar massage for both caesarean and perineal scars, getting back into sex, how to look after your pelvic floor & signs that maybe something's a bit off. This is one episode every woman who's ever given birth should listen to.For links to connect with Laura, check out the show notes here
In today's episode I speak with mum of three Pamela about her experience with premature babies. She had her three sons at 35, 34 and 33 weeks which has meant she's spent a lot of time in NICU and Special Care Nurseries. Pamela shares with us some of the hard realities that come with having premature babies – things like being separated from your newborn as they are transferred to a different hospital, initial feelings of meeting and holding your tiny newborn who fits in the palm of your hand. She talks openly about the challenges of managing going to and from the hospital to see baby whilst looking after older kids at home and heaps more. Pamela has clearly had a different pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience to a lot of us, and one which you could expect to be quite traumatic, but in speaking with her about it all she is just so positive. She speaks of how much of an impact the nurses caring for her babies had made, and what support was so necessary in getting through that time.To connect with Pamela find her @basiclabelcoFor show notes and access to more episodes click here

Today my husband Jorge and I chat about our daughter Esther's birth. She's nine weeks old now, and this is potentially one of the only times we have talked about the birth with each other. Esther being the second child means that this postpartum time has been busy with entertaining Rupert, our firstborn… and having had Esther in lockdown meant that we haven't had the usual storytelling that comes when people visit (because we haven't had anyone visit). So, today's conversation is unrehearsed, off-the-cuff, reflections on my most recent birth.

If you've had a baby before, or even have nieces and nephews or friends with young kids you'll remember that feeling of shock and astonishment at how quickly babies change. You see it physically as they change from a floppy, pink skinned, sleepy newborn to a chubby toddler. You see it as they grow interested in the world, start babbling and later talking, rolling, crawling and walking. Some months it feels like the are a different child every week and that they pick up new skills every single day. It's incredible. In today's episode Paediatric Physiotherapist Nicole Pates of Western Kids Health talks all things motor development in babies' first two years. She opens up the anxiety-provoking topic of milestones and delves into what a parents' role is in children meeting these milestones. We look into concepts of purposeful and sensory play and Nicole shares her thoughts on the many modern toys that can be helpful or not so helpful to physical development.

Australia in Summer is known to be beautiful, warm and an ideal holiday destination. Although, with the sun and outdoors also comes snakes, spiders, sunburn, dangerous tides and rips, and a whole host of other potentially dangerous risks… especially when thinking about our kids! It can be somewhat overwhelming, and the idea of taking your kids to the beach or away camping might feel too much of a hassle. But, as I always rant on about, education and being prepared can set you up with the information and skills to equip you with confidence for whatever is to come. So as we head into Summer, Rach from Tiny Hearts Education has generously shared some top Summer Safety tips. She covers topics like water safety, sun safety, how to respond to bites and stings, outdoor injuries and even shares some important information about babies' tolerance to heat.

The number of women diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes in Australia has more than doubled every year for the past decade! This increasingly common diagnosis comes with a lot of fear and often feelings of guilt. So, as always, it's worth looking into what is going on, what in fact Gestational Diabetes is, how much control we as pregnant women have over its diagnosis and management, and what it means for our baby's health, and our health, both during the pregnancy and in years to come. In this episode Melbourne dietician Robyn Compton answers all these questions and more...To get the full show notes and Robyn's contact details head to www.mumwillknow.com
With Induction of Labour becoming increasingly more prevalent in Australia today, it's important we understand why it is recommended and what risks come with having an induction. This episode dives deep into some of the many indications for induction today… opening up whether research fully supports those recommendations or not (hint – some of the reasons doctors may suggest you be induced actually aren't supported by current research!) We take the risks of inductions seriously, looking at the cascade of interventions that may arise following steps of inductions. Like every week, it's all about equipping you with knowledge and understanding so that you're able to confidently go towards childbirth ready to advocate for yourself and your baby.To see where I've found all the stats and information, check out the show notes at www.mumwillknow.com
More than a third of Australian women today have their labours induced. As this method of intervention becomes more and more common, it's important that we understand exactly what an induction is, why its recommended and what the risks are that come with being induced. As I say in most of my episodes, being informed and educated well in advance will mean that if this is something that ends up being recommended or brought up at some point near the end of your pregnancy, you don't feel completely in the dark and at the mercy of health professionals, but instead, you feel equipped and prepared to understand your options and make decisions about your care more confidently. In today's episode we start this conversation as I open up the question of What is an Induction of Labour? I share the many possible methods or steps involved in inductions, and we hear from Mum Will Know listener Tolly Macrae about her experience having an Induction with her third baby earlier this year.If you're keen to catch the show notes for this episode, or any past episode, head to www.mumwillknow.com

One of the biggest concerns a pregnant woman has is her impending labour. And of course it is! As women who've done it before share their ‘wise words of wisdom' and traumatic birth experiences, pregnant women are bound to be caught up in fear and nerves about what their own labour and birth experience will bring.

But getting your head around why pain is necessary, what in fact is going on, and what can be some ways to manage the pain will set you up with confidence and tools to get through, or even enjoy the incredible labour that brings you face to face with your newborn baby.

This week Claire talks with researcher Haylee Fox about the overuse of obstetric interventions in labour and birth in Australia today. Research suggests that this wonderful, physiological and normal event of childbirth is becoming somewhat over-medicalised through the potentially unnecessary use of obstetric interventions like caesarean section, instrumental deliveries, episiotomy, and induction of labour. Interventions that can be life-saving when used as needed, have now become overused and with that bring potential risks and costs to women, their babies and the healthcare system.To access further show notes and links to Haylee's research paper and contact details, click here.
