Om Podcasten

Bump to Mum is a podcast that has been created by Emma who after the birth of her son Louie, realised that there was so much to learn and it is hard to know where to start. Comfort came from speaking with other Mum's and this is where Bump to Mum was born. The fourth trimester and beyond is a time of constant change and challenges, Bump to Mum is a platform to share conversations we have in baby groups and with other Mum's, learn from experts in their field, ask questions, find answers, share experiences and laugh and cry along the way as we all try to navigate the maze which is motherhood.
