Podcasts about antenatal

In this powerful  and transformative episode, I welcome back Kristin Revere; doula, educator, and author of Supported: Your Guide to Birth.  Together share our personal experiences for a deeply uplifting conversation on empowered inductions. Kristen shares her personal experience of being induced at 39 weeks due to preeclampsia, and reflects on how it shaped her work supporting other women through birth. I share my experience of listening to my intuition and delaying an induction for 5 weeks, until I was 41 weeks, when I had to fully step into my power, to surrender to a deeply beautiful birth. Together, we unpack the alarmingly rising rates of induction, the often untapped role of doulas, birth coaches, and the ability to access our deep inner wisdom of birth. All the essential tools every woman and birth partner should have — including breathing, advocacy, and knowing when to pause. So whether you're planning an induction or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of practical insights and heartfelt support. You've got this! Connect with Kirstin on:

In this episode of Healthful Woman, Dr. Nathan Fox and Dr. Celia Muoser discuss antenatal corticosteroids, which are short courses of steroids given to pregnant women at risk of preterm delivery to help accelerate the baby's lung development and improve outcomes. They explain why timing and patient selection are crucial for physicians in maximizing benefits while minimizing risks.

Evelyn Parsons, Independent Galway county councillor and former GP, discusses the summary report of five external reviews into the care provided to women and their babies at Portiuncula hospital. Dr Pat Nash, Clinical Director HSE West/North West discusses the issues at Portiuncula maternity unit in Ballinasloe.

Pat McGrath, Western Correspondent, discusses an external review into the deliveries of babies at Portiuncula University Hospital in Galway.

Antenatal Corticosteroids (ACS) for Fetal Lung Maturation (and more) is an ever evolving saga. This is how science and medicine evolve, by always seeking more information. The effect of antenatal corticosteroids on neonatal/child neurodevelopmental outcomes is controversial and may be influenced by the gestational age at which exposure occurred. In this episode we will highlight TWO recent publications, one from May 2025 (JAMA Netw) and the other from June 2025 (Obstet Gynecol). The first adds data to the "Dose to Delivery interval" question for ACS benefit, and the second article relates to neurodevelopmental outcomes after exposure. Listen in for details.

How does a newspaper article based on a scientific paper compare to the paper itself, and how can you spot when you need to be a bit more skeptical about what you're being told? Today, we're looking at an article on the link between antenatal steroids and autism, then looking at the underlying paper to see if it actually says the same thing. Definitely worth 8 minutes of your time!

In today’s episode I interview Steph Claire Smith who was first diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 21. She managed to regulate her menstrual cycles by focusing on health, wellness and regular acupuncture treatments and years later, fell pregnant easily. She timed her exhausting first trimester with stage four lockdown in Melbourne and sailed through the rest of her pregnancy, choosing to practise gratitude for all she experienced, despite the inevitable discomfort and challenges that arose in the third trimester. Steph admits that well-meaning messages from friends and followers regarding natural methods for induction definitely affected her mental health and she subsequently chose to be induced at 41 weeks.

About 20% of women experience depression while they are pregnant, and untreated depression has been associated with increased rates of adverse birth outcomes and complications. In this podcast, Julia J. Rucklidge, PhD, of the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, discusses nutrition, pregnancy, and mental health in detail with psychiatrist and Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology (JCP) Digital Editor Dr. Julia Ann Koretski. Dr. Rucklidge is the senior author of the article “Broad-Spectrum Micronutrients or Antidepressants for Antenatal Depression: Effect on Maternal and Infant Birth Outcomes in an Observational Secondary Analysis of NUTRIMUM,” which is published in the January-February 2025 issue of JCP. The article reports the outcomes of a randomized clinical trial in which women with depressive symptoms were randomized to receive daily micronutrients or a placebo for 12 weeks during their pregnancy. As reported by Dr. Rucklidge and her colleagues, the micronutrients used to alleviate depression in pregnancy may mitigate negative effects of depression on birth outcomes and have more favorable birth outcomes compared with antidepressants.

In this episode of Microbiome Medics, we sit down with Toni Harman, the filmmaker behind the award-winning documentary Microbirth and co-author of The Microbiome Effect. Toni shares how her personal childbirth experience, including an emergency cesarean and challenges with breastfeeding, sparked her mission to explore the critical role of the infant microbiome. We discuss the insights from Microbirth, which features leading scientists on how birthing methods and infant nutrition shape a child's microbiome and immune system. Toni also highlights her vision for empowering expectant parents through an antenatal class focused on microbiome science, advocating for informed, compassionate birthing practices to support long-term health.This podcast is brought to you in collaboration with the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine.Disclaimer:The content in this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

When a baby is born prematurely, their lungs may not be fully developed, leading to respiratory issues. Antenatal corticosteroids, like betamethasone and dexamethasone, are administered to pregnant women at risk of preterm delivery to boost the baby's lung maturity and reduce complications such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). These steroids help the baby produce surfactant, which keeps the lungs open and improves breathing after birth. Dr. Rachel Pasquesi will discuss how these medications work and their benefits.

If you need to hear a positive NICU breastfeeding story, this is it! Sarah shares her experience with premature prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) and the NICU journey that followed the birth of her baby at 32 weeks. She started antenatal expressing in labour and continued hand-expressing in the days after before switching to a hospital-grade pump. She had plenty of milk, triple-fed and used a nipple-shield alongside navigating an oversupply (she could pump 400ml in a single session!). She saw a variety of lactation consultants in the first few months and emphasises how important it is to find the right person for you who also has the right level of expertise for your situation. ___________ Today's episode is brought to you by Kiwi.co.

In today's episode, Emily - a mum of three - shares her journey as a surrogate (or an ‘oven' as she refers to it). When her youngest was three she started to miss the pregnancy and birth journey so she began researching surrogacy in Australia. She joined the facebook group and reached out to two intended dads. They hit it off immediately and within a year, the embryo was transferred and Emily conceived on the first attempt. Everyone's joy doubled when they discovered she was carrying twins and much like her singleton pregnancies, her entire journey was smooth and straightforward. Emily (and Rory and Bob's) story is a beautiful example of supported surrogacy and in sharing, she hopes to raise awareness and advocate for the hundreds of intended parents who are currently looking for a surrogate.

She takes us through her different models of care in the private and public hospital system as she navigated inductions, extra scans and monitoring as well as antenatal expressing (colostrum helps raise the baby's blood sugar levels). iL Tutto has done it again, launching another luxury yet affordable Electric Recliner Chair that will live on beyond your Nursery stage with its modern design and quality craftsmanship.

In this episode, I am chatting to Laila,  a first-time mum who struggled to accept her unplanned pregnancy. She candidly shares with us how difficult it was to come to terms with a positive pregnancy test, and how she handled sharing the news with her close family and friends. Despite suffering from antenatal depression, Laila went on to make it the best experience of her life so far. After the birth of her daughter she was able to truly see the gift she had been given, and her mission now is to help other women having a baby for the first time. Laila set up 'The Learning to Mom Podcast' which she explains has a wide variety of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experts. Her episodes support pregnant women having their first baby to learn more about their options so that they can have a positive experience throughout.

This informative presentation features Dr. Sharon Dore, principal author, and Clinical Associate Professor at McMaster University. The goal of Guideline No. 441 is the early identification of potential fetal decompensation, allowing for interventions that support fetal well-being, or expedite delivery. Changes around assessment of fundal height, fetal movement, amniotic fluid measurement and fetal health surveillance affect the nursing and medical standards of care, as well as the analysis of medical legal matters. 

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Jane Fisher, the Director of Antenatal Results and Choices (ARC). It's ARC's 35th anniversary this year and we thought it's be a good idea to hear from Jane about ARC's history, why it was created, how and by whom. I also wanted to hear about what has been most present for ARC in our most recent times and where they are headed for the future.Jane is a very dynamic charity Director. I don't think there are many that happily (eagerly) man the helplines! And this is what makes ARC so special to us TFMR mothers and fathers. It is having a dedicated charity organisation that has the ability to not only understand the nuanced complexities of what this devasting experience of pregnancy/baby loss is like for parents, but also how to communicate this to the wider public in a compassionate and truthful way.This is a special charity, doing much good, not just for parents, but in also providing training and information for healthcare professionals too. We also talk a bit about how ARC supports HCPs and is at the forefront of research into various aspects of TFMR.We hope this gives you a good overview of ARC and how it is there to support you. Even those outside of the U.K. are able to access their specialist support.We hope you enjoy listening.

Welcome to season 5!! This episode we have the marvelous Dr Sara Wickham back in the cauldron with us talking all about what's in her new book Plus Size Pregnancy. Sara talks to us about:·      How women and families want, need and deserve better answers to their many questions about higher BMI and birth, and that midwives and birth workers need to know what the evidence says. ·      Clarification of what is the BMI and as Sara says “it's a racist, sexist, classist” index created for complete different reason than for health! ·      We look at why a higher BMI comes with so many tests and limitations for birth and Sara talks us through the existing evidence.·      Are women with a high BMI more at risk of caesarean section, and if so what are the real reasons behind this?·      Why the phrase morbid obesity is utter nonsense and rooted in a much darker context.·      Sara delves into diet culture, it's myths and the marketing behind it. ·      Weight bias and fat shaming in healthcare.·      And why using BMI is problematic in maternity care.You'll hear all this and much more in this fabulous episode.
