This week is Perinatal Mental Health Week, so what better time to look at this issue affecting so many parents in your life. If you have welcomed a baby into your family you know about the challenges that brings as well as the love and the joy, but if you're feeling like it's all becoming too much.Edwina Sharrock is a midwife who experienced perinatal depression after the birth of her second child and Kate Arndell works with parents as a RAMHP coordinator of the Hunter New England region in NSW. They share their experiences and information about what you need to know about perinatal depression and anxiety.
"I should know how to do this" - it's the catch cry of so many mamas as they navigate motherhood. We have grown up with The Maternal Mandate - an assumption that because you are aa woman you should a) want to have a baby, b) find it easy and natural to become pregnant, birth naturally and breastfeed easily, and c) love every minute of it. And it's something every single woman out there has had to contend with at some stage. But if you also happen to have been trained in some form to support babies, mothers or children, this extra pressure of 'should know how to do this' is amplified. Midwives tell themselves birth will be easy; Child educators and carers believe teaching and playing with their children will be natural;Doctors and nurses go into it knowing the physical demands of motherhood, but never expect the personal transformation and questioning. Welcome to matrescence! It's the same for all of us. In this week's podcast episode, I speak with Edwina Sharrock - a mum of two, registered nurse and midwife, who was shocked and ashamed when she unexpectedly developed perinatal anxiety after the birth of her second child. In this episode, we talk candidly about the level of 'shoulds' professional women put on themselves when entering motherhood - no matter what skills and training you have in your pre-baby life - and how our preparation for motherhood needs to be more honest, raw and real if we are to really prepare a woman for the transformation of birth and babies.

When you live in a capital city it can be easy to get to a birth class. But when you live in the country it isn't that simple. Midwife Edwina Sharrock decided to start an online programme, called Birth Beat, to help those who couldn't access classes. She was shocked to see it become incredibly popular, not just with couples in rural areas.
In today's episode, I interview Beccy Cloke. Beccy was diagnosed as having a tilted cervix by her gynecologist at a young age and she was advised that it may take her a little longer to conceive. With that in mind, she and Travis started trying for a baby shortly after their honeymoon. To their complete surprise, they conceived very quickly and then had to adjust quickly to the idea that a baby was on the way. Beccy went through private obstetric care through Mitcham Private Hospital in Melbourne. After an initial hiccup, she changed obstetricians to find a recommended doctor they had complete trust in. Beccy took both a Hypno Birth course and an online course called Birth Beat. Wanting to have a drug free, natural delivery, Beccy shares how she became very upset when she underwent an emergency caesarean after her labour didn't progress. Overjoyed to have a happy and healthy baby, Beccy still feels disappointed with some components of her birth. To hear more about how Beccy struggled with some of the decisions she made during her pregnancy and her labour and some things she wished she had done differently tune into this weeks episode.
