Preparing for Birth and Baby mini series: late pregnancy, birth pool and how it works, birth room and home birth items, nesting, car seats and the perfect changing bag.

Hello, and welcome to the final episode of the preparing for birth and baby mini series! This week I am wrapping up the series talking through all the final things I can think of. This week I am focusing on late pregnancy and the hormones, irritability and nesting urges that seem to come to me at 38 weeks! I talk through the birth pool we have very kindly been loaned by https://www.gentlebirthsbirthingpoolhire.co.uk , how it works, what you receive and how it goes back. We are going to be preparing our 'birth room' on Thursday, I will be visually sharing that on mumtalkpodcast instagram so do follow if you would like to see but I talk this week through our intentions.  I also touch on childcare for different scenarios, organisation, finishing our little boys nursery and the postpartum period.  This week I share with you two brilliant products, one from Cybex https://cybex-online.com/en-gb/car-seats/cloudzisize who we have worked with before and really rate them. If you are after an infant car seat that swivels on a base PLUS can be used without a base and with a car seatbelt AND has a lie flat function have a listen! It really is a brilliant infant car seat. The second product, after mentioning it on episode two is the brilliant PacaPod changing bag https://www.pacapod.com/ , its beautiful, have a listen and watch mumtalkpodcast highlights at the same time so you can see what I am talking about.  Here are the links to kindly gifted PR products which have just made our nursery - the Kidly Lion Rug https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/tapis-petit/lion-rug/10749?colour=ocher & Kidly Giraffe animal head https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/kids-depot/animal-head-wall-decor/10829?colour=giraffe  We will be back with series 10 late June/early July!

Mum Talk is here for you on your journey into parenthood providing your 'nod along' and 'me too' moments plus answering all the questions we all have! For the first 13 series, Emma is joined by not only incredibly knowledgable guests, some experts in their field, but also Mums and Dads sharing their experience of pregnancy and parenthood. Emma also shares her personal journey from pregnancy to life now with two. Mum Talk is honest, real and informative. For series 14, Emma is back with a brand new series and brand new conversation with her co-host Ali Bastian, who you may recognise from hit TV shows, Hollyoaks, The Bill and Strictly Come Dancing. Ali and Emma are in the thick of motherhood and are here to deep dive into it all with you. Motherhood changes you as a person, physically and mentally, it seems (from personal experience)to give you the most incredible sense of purpose, self-worth and strength you didn’t know you had, whilst simultaneously leading you to question your ‘self’ and more or less everything you have ever known. Ali and Emma have one goal, as it has always been from the beginning of Mum Talk almost 5 years ago, to share in the hope no-one ever feels alone in motherhood. Ali and Emma are here for it all, the highs, the lows, the journey that is motherhood, the realities of building a family, life, love, laughter, tears, heartbreak you name it. Grab a cuppa or pop your headphones in and head out for a walk, join Ali and Emma for ‘hearts on sleeves’ mum talk and journey through motherhood together.  Hosted on Acast.
