E208. Doing This Saves Lives in Pregnancy
Doing this saves baby’s lives in pregnancy with Midwife Pip
In this episode, I explore one of the most reassuring signs of a healthy pregnancy - fetal movements. From those first fluttery kicks to the regular rolls and jabs later on, monitoring your baby’s movements can be a powerful way to stay connected and alert to their well-being.
I will share what fetal movement means, when you should start paying attention, and how to track it effectively. We’ll also talk about what changes might signal a need to contact your healthcare provider, and why trusting your instincts matters.

The Truth About Postnatal Recovery Every Mum Deserves to Hear
Too many mums are told that leaking urine, feeling “off,” or living with prolapse after birth is just the new normal. But it’s not and you deserve better.
In this powerful solo episode, I shine a light on the realities of postnatal recovery that are too often hidden in shame and misinformation. With 50% of mums experiencing prolapse and many silently struggling, it’s time to challenge the narrative and speak openly about what’s really going on with our bodies after birth.
You’ll learn:
Why common post-birth symptoms aren’t “normal” they’re just common
The critical first steps every new mum should take to support healing
How to protect and nurture your body in a way that empowers long-term recovery
Why stigma and silence are doing us more harm than good
This episode is your reminder that your postpartum body deserves understanding, support, and real solutions. Let’s start rewriting the story together.
