The Postpartum Podcast – The Power of Podcast and Social Media and New Motherhood
Why this podcast?
The Postpartum Podcast is one I’ve subscribed to for a while but haven’t written about yet.
I think that’s simply because, being a birth doula, I tend to focus on pregnancy and birth but the postpartum period, especially the immediate postpartum, is really a part of birth too.
Many of you will have heard of the 4th Trimester Bodies Project. This project is dedicated to –
Bellies to BirthCast – Choosing Homebirth After 35
Why this podcast?
The Bellies to BirthCast has not been featured on this blog yet. I think the main reason is that there are only six episodes and that just didn’t seem like a whole lot to choose from.
It is also focused on natural birth and I guess I didn’t want to exclude anyone if that is not their thing.
I figured, however, that it was time to explore this podcast and I was surprised to discover that Bellies to BirthCast is the podcast from Giving Birth Naturally.
The Longest Shortest Time – The Shortest Day
***TRIGGER WARNING***
Before you read any further into this post I want you to know that this is the story of Day, a little boy who passed away at thirty-one weeks, inside his mother’s womb.
Day’s mother, Arielle, shows incredible strength whilst telling her little boy’s story but it is still a heartbreaking one and for some people, it could trigger some very strong emotions.
Why this podcast?
This one is fairly new to me. I subscribed a while ago and listened to a wonderful episode about coming of age with Down Syndrome, but just hadn’t got around to choosing an episode to feature yet.
The Pregnancy Podcast – Q&A: Siblings at the Birth of a New Baby
Why this podcast?
I know, I know, The Pregnancy Podcast is making quite a few appearances on this blog but I just couldn’t resist this episode and, it’s a Q&A episode, which I haven’t featured before so I just kind of, well, went for it.
If you have read my other posts featuring The Pregnancy Podcast (epidurals, creating your birth cave, bustin’ some myths and when birth doesn’t go as planned) then you will know why I love it so much.
