What does birth trauma look like? - with Helen, midwife specialising in perinatal trauma
In this episode we’re joined by Helen, a midwife and perinatal trauma specialist, for an incredibly open and powerful chat about what birth trauma really looks like, and why it’s not always what you’d expect.
Helen opens up about developing PTSD following her own trauma, and how that shapes her work supporting others. Plus she shares her thoughts on birth plans and the importance of consistency in care in the lead up to birth.
Whether you've experienced a challenging birth, are preparing for one, or simply want to understand and support others better, this episode is for you.

Bumpie Group Chat (unfiltered) - more grocery porn chat and what's your thoughts on this baby name dilemma?
From a failed click and collect that left us snackless, to a broken fridge that had us questioning every life choice, this week had it's fair share of domestic disasters!
Plus we went down the rabbit hole of grocery chat again, because comparing trolleys and hunting deals is basically our new sport.
And we couldn't finish the episode without a good baby name dilemma that has us seriously divided. How close is too close, when you name your baby something similar to a friend?
As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛
