I had a baby nine weeks ago and decided I’d like to share a bite size update each week of what postpartum has been like for me. This is real and raw, no editing, no scripts, just me waffling on. Today I share about my Velcro baby who wants to be attached to me 24/7, how babywearing has really helped, and the frustration I feel at not being able to work, create and contribute to the postpartum world in the way I’m used to. I think it’s FOMO but I’m gently reminding myself that I have enough going on right now! I also chat about my postpartum wardrobe and a few changes I’ve made so I can feel a ..read more

I had a baby 8 weeks ago and decided I’d like to share a bite size update each week of what postpartum has been like for me. This is real and raw, no editing, no scripts, just me waffling on. Today I’ve combined 3 weeks together as let’s be honest, they all blur together at some point! I’ve decided I hate the word Colic because it’s so broad and finding answers to it is so difficult! We are still experiencing a pretty disgruntled, gassy babe. I also share about hubby being back at work (waahhhhh!) and my six week check up. I hope you enjoy. Come find me on Instagram @postpartum_with_steph You ..read more

I had a baby four weeks ago and decided I’d like to share a bite size update each week of what postpartum has been like for me. This is real and raw, no editing, no scripts, just me waffling on. Today I’ve combined week 3 and 4 and I share about how my c-section recovery is going (it’s one issue after another!), how we are coping with a baby who has colic (we are tired!), and how the adjustment is going for our 4-year-old (it’s challenging!). I hope you enjoy. Come find me on Instagram @postpartum_with_steph ..read more

I had a baby two weeks ago and decided I’d like to share a bite size update each week of what postpartum has been like for me. This is real and raw, no editing, no scripts, just me waffling on. Today I share about how breastfeeding is going, my first outing with the whole family, my c-section recovery (hint, it’s not great), how my four-year-old is adjusting and how we’re coping with a gassy baby. I hope you enjoy. Come find me on Instagram @postpartum_with_steph ..read more

Steph is back! I don’t know why I wrote that in the third person, lol. It’s me, Steph, hi! I had a baby one week ago and decided I’d like to share a bite size update each week of what postpartum has been like for me. This is real and raw, no editing, no scripts, just me waffling on. Today I share about how I’m going mentally and physically, I talk about breastfeeding, food in postpartum, sleep and the rollercoaster of the postpartum hormone drop! I hope you enjoy.

Breastfeeding never came easy for me. I feel like I was constantly fighting an uphill battle, wading through misinformation from midwives, stress, and overwhelm. On today’s episode of the podcast I’m joined by my lovely husband Clay, as we remember back to three years ago when our breastfeeding journey began. It’s not all sunshine and roses I’m sorry to say. Some of the issues we faced includes our son losing more than 10% of his body weight, nipple damage, quick feeds that didn’t meet the expectations of the hospital, and pressure to introduce formula top ups. But we did get through it and no ..read more

How does a breastfeeding expert go breastfeeding her own children? Was it always easy? Did it come naturally? Were there any challenges? These are the questions I've always wanted to ask the amazing Amberley Harris.  If you don't know who Amberley is, you are in for a treat. She's a registered and endorsed midwife in private practice who helps women through the challenges of breastfeeding (I actually met her when my little one was 6 days old). She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to breastfeeding, you can actually go back and listen to episode 10 of the podcast where she talks more ..read more

Did you fall into the trap of doing too much too soon after your baby was born? It’s ok if you did, I think we all feel a sense of pressure to return to our “normal” activities in postpartum. But what we often find is that we can’t immediately do all of the things we used to with ease. My guest on today’s podcast is Kath Baquie, the founder of FitNest Mama. She chats about her first postpartum experience where a casual walk to and from a cafe with her 2-week old bub left her feeling an intense pelvic floor pressure. As a physiotherapist for women she knew something was up and quickly learned s ..read more

Yay a new podcast episode!! Today I’m joined by the wonderful Lulu Well who shares her very vulnerable and raw postpartum story that was very much influenced by her traumatic birth. Like many of us, Lulu went through a period of pleasing everyone around her except herself, saying yes to everything to keep everyone else happy and finally getting to a point of embracing the word “no”. Whilst dealing with PTSD which stemmed from her birth, Lulu sought help from a psychologist and started to rewrite her own birth and postpartum story. Her experience has also led her to become a postpartum doula (g ..read more
