I needed this pod!! when I was pregnant with my son, I rang triage saying that I had concerns that my son was not moving - I heard throughout my pregnancy if there’s any change in pattern of movements to ring up (I also was 3 days past my due date) - this midwife was SO rude, made me cry, didn’t want me to go up to the hospital at all, told me my baby was sleeping - I had the most active baby in the world, he was always moving about. I still went up there and just as well I did because my waters broke and I went into labour that night! Luckily my son was okay and just playing tricks but I couldn’t believe the ignorance of that midwife. This was my first baby too so made me feel I was doing something wrong.
Talking about chloe being born has made me realise how long ive watched you guys!! I literally remember watching them videos and thinking wow how cool is it that we get to watch her grow up and shes such a character!! The best channel on youtube in my opinion 🫶🏻
When I had my little boy last year, I had an emergency C-Section and couldn’t have my partner with me at night. I felt so scared, I had had my baby at 8:38pm and my partner had to leave by 10:00pm. But the amount of mixed opinions by the midwives regarding feeding, swaddling, using blankets etc. I didn’t know what to do. I personally wanted to swaddle my baby because of research I had done and I felt that was a good choice for us. But one of the midwives told me not to swaddle him and just to use a blanket (it wasn’t a cellular blanket either). But then another in the morning told me not to use those blankets and to swaddle him. I was so confused 😭 another midwife made me feel so so small after my c section. I was in immense pain getting up and walking to the point I was brought to tears every time. I didn’t make a big fuss but a midwife came up to me and was like “is your pain tolerance always this low”. I just thought… well no I’ve just had a c section unexpectedly, I lost over 2 litres of blood and my womb tore downwards and had to be stitched, I was just in a lot of pain. I thought something was wrong because the agony I felt when I had to get up and go to the toilet, I was sweating with the pain. Other than that, the other midwives were amazing and it was a fairly good experience ❤
I completely forgot it was Tuesday and seeing this notification just made my day . Thank you guys so much , I love the podcast and have kept up with every episode so far x
I’ve been struggling with my ADHD medication going up and it feels like there’s alot of instability in my life at the moment. You have no idea how these regular podcasts help, it’s almost like small milestones that I’ve made it through another week and the reward is another podcast. I’m sure you get so many messages like this but I really mean it, thank you ❤
I’m glad you spoke about bad midwife story’s since it’s so important people understand no matter what they say don’t let them feel like your such a bad parent after being in hospital. When I had my daughter the midwife that delivered her was so rude and so by the book, I was induced and my cannulae got blocked and they didn’t realise for 2 hours, but after it was fixed it wasn’t turned down so all off a sudden I went from 3cm to 10cm in 2h , I told her I needed to push and she told me I needed to wait a hour till I could. Luckily they had a change over and when the other midwife came in she told me to listen to my body and was amazing and stayed though the whole thing, all my midwife’s after where amazing when I had to stay the night and was giving me advice when I asked which I was worried about since I was 20 when I had my daughter but they was all so supportive and loving. The midwife that delivered my daughter didn’t deliver my placenta correctly and 3 months later I was in a&e in so much pain not knowing what’s happening and even the hospital said if she wasn’t rushing so much it wouldn’t have happened. I only now realise I wish I had said something or made a complaint about how rude she was, as a young first time mum it made me so worried and nervous about everything
So happy with this pod! I’m a first time mum to a little boy, my pregnancy was hell, I had hyperemesis gravidarum(extreme morning sickness) all throughout my pregnancy, pelvic girdle pain which I still suffer with in my back a year later, my midwife was terrible and didn’t help me , at 32 weeks pregnant i had a midwife appointment (different midwife) she picked up that I had high blood pressure and I was rushed to hospital for pre eclampsia and my feet were so swollen I looked like an elephant😅 I stayed in hospital for 2 weeks then at 34 weeks my baby arrived via emergency c section as he wasn’t moving and his heart rate kept dropping. The entire time i was in hospital I had a consultant who asked me why I haven’t been to hospital before for this as in my notes since 20 weeks I had high blood pressure, I obviously wasn’t aware. This could’ve been picked up from my midwife and I would’ve had help before being rushed in. Pre eclampsia isn’t researched enough in the practice and is deadly. I am lucky I was in hospital when my baby was born otherwise we both wouldn’t have survived. I complained about that midwife about my experience and the ways she could’ve prevented this.. she now no longer works there 🤍
I have an awful midwife with my second. I was 4 cm dilated for 3 weeks back to back contractions, so one day, I'd just had enough, so I wend in and asked for help to start me off . This one midwife gave me a pill that knocked me to sleep, and once I was out, I told my husband that it might harm the baby so my husband was left in tears for mine and our unborn baby's health. I was out for a good 45 minutes, and once I wake, they told me to go home and deal with it. Our son was born the next day 10lbs and he is incredible health other an autism but we are just thankful he is here. My husband didn't get ove leave after our son was born and he worked 15 hour shifts 5 days aweek so I did everything on my own with a 6 yearly old too
Had my first baby last year and have to say thank god I didn’t have a bad experience with my midwife’s. Ended in emergency c section and I instantly got the baby blues which developed into pp depression. In Ireland your partner isn’t aloud to stay with you. So had my baby at 9:04pm and was on a ward and my partner kicked out by 10:15pm. But, can we talk about other mothers on the ward? My first night my baby woke up crying and one of the other mother walked over and opened my curtain and told me “get your baby to shut the fuck up”. I felt so so bad.
Omg that’s awful! I live in UK I also had my baby boy May last year ended up in an emergency c section. My god the midwife’s where vile to me because he was my first she just kept shutting me down when I was telling her about pains ect!! I also don’t think there’s enough spoken about after the massive hormone drops after an emergency c section xx
I needed to hear this today!! I had my baby 12 weeks ago and we had a HORRENDOUS experience with the midwives after giving birth and currently going through the complaint process. Was made to feel like I wasn’t capable of being a mum. Love this podcast!!
im 15, have no inference in pregnancies, and labour, (not in a offensive way) but when its Sarah and Joel ill listen to an hour podcast of them talking about both! and I loved it just goes to show how entertaining these podcasts are! cant wait for the next episode
no cause i’m like that with certain people too but i’ve never been pregnant 🤣🤣 idk why but there are certain people that absolutely grind my gears for no reason and i feel so guilty for it 🤣🤣
I had my first baby 6 days ago and completely agree regarding paternity leave! I had a c-section and I am recovering well but mix that with no sleep and it’s game over some days! Luckily my husband booked an extra 2 weeks off so he has 4 weeks but even still, it’s rubbish! Love the pod x
I had my first baby 9 month ago by emergency c-section and had to stay in over night on my own I rang for help and they told me no she was going in a break and i choose to have the baby so I should do it. I never felt so degraded and alone. I wish I out a complaint in now and I never asked for help anyone since
I was 18 when I had my daughter. The midwife asked me and my partner if we met 9months ago at a party. 5 years later we’re still together! I also got asked by a nurse why I had a baby if I didn’t know how to do a nappy when I asked for support. It was during Covid so I was by myself, I ended up discharging myself
I had my son 16 months ago, I was induced and it was horrible.. They didn't listen to me once when i said something was wrong, left me 2 hours and my son's heart rate was 210 and rising.. once he was born they waited for him to cry at midnight to move us to ward but my partner was still sleeping because it was a long few days with coming in with reduced movements to having him. we had 1 nice midwife out of the 6 we had with the 1 birth 😒
I had an awful midwife when pregnant with my first at 19, I look back now and wish I’d put in a complaint! She was horrible, looked down on me for being pregnant young, was nasty and rude during my appointment I left crying my eyes out half way through! Luckily she was the only horrible midwife we encountered in two pregnancies!!
Oh i had a bad midwife with my 3rd ... he was supposed to be a homebirth but was born 2 days early and was a tiny 4lbs12oz baby but he didnt need NICU , he was on the ward with me ... because he was so small i was hand expressing milk so i could wrote down how much he was getting and then this midwife came in and literally binned my milk id spend 35mins expressing ... and gave him a bottle of formula which i didnt agree too ... she tried to send him down to nicu because he was cold because we were in a ward and were next to the window and it was a heatwave and she opened the window "because everyone else is too hot" even tho the other mums said they were fine and 2/3 had fans next to there bed and the 3rd one i asked if she wanted the fan next to mg bed because i wasnt using it. That midwife had ne crying for 3 days whenever she was on shift ... my milk dried up and i had to get formula and i blame that midiwfe for it.
I just came back from a holiday in Malaysia and then Borneo a couple of days ago and it was amazing but I’m sure graces trip will be quite different, I hope she has an amazing time though and the wildlife is incredible. I went on many boat rides to spot wildlife but the best was defiantly the elephants, we ended up seeing a heard of about 50 elephants it was amazing❤ just wondering where in Borneo she is going. Love you guys so much hope grace has a great time❤
I demand when grace comes back she better be back on the pod pls Sarah and Joel pls I want Grace back gonna miss her on the vlogs aswell pls Grace be back on the pod love you guys so much best podcast ever🫶🏼
Maybe the girls mum might be worried she won’t bond or love the 2nd grandchild as much or doesn’t want another baby taking over the attention of the first grandchild x
After pains are horrendous. Its like being in labour all over again. I was only 15 when I had my first and nobody really explained anything. I honestly thought something was seriously wrong, it was terrifying. I also had some staff treat me like dirt due to my age. They kind of think what a tramp. My baby's dad was in my life, we stayed together for 11 years and had a second child. It took away so much enjoyment of my first child. Heartbreaking 💔 p.s. just for the record, he was my first boyfriend and it was a contraceptive failure that happily led to my amazing now 40 year old son and we have the best relationship😊
How weird my first born Katelyn was 3 weeks early and I was 18 when I had her so I’m editing as watched more my 3rd was my easiest was at hospital 15 mins and had gave birth she’s also the naughty one x
Me and my fella love the podcast! We’ve dm’d you are couples dilemma! ( gay addition 😂 ) If you come across it.. it’s a good one be 😂from Deano Agar.. keep doing you guys ❤
Need grace back on the pod when she gets back from her trip talking about it please.

Yes definitely😇
Also could bring the 3 piggotts

The best advice a midwife gave to me was “don’t always go by the book, as what baby can read “ 😊
Congrats on your 24 episodes on the pod ❤❤
