| 16. Can you say NO to tests and treatments in pregnancy and birth? | 12 Nov 2019 | 00:18:28 | |
This ep is a bit of a pandora’s box. What can you say no to during pregnancy and birth? Well, you can literally say NO to everything. Ethically a health care provider can’t force a woman to accept any sort of treatment, even if they strongly believe their treatment plan is in the best interests of the mother and/or her baby. You have choice in your pregnancy and birth, your consent needs to be given and you are your own best advocate. The trick is knowing from an informed position what is worth advocating for. Why did we start this podcast? Well we think there is a barrier for women to get EXPERT pregnancy info that is practical, relatable and easy to understand. Dr Pat has helped 1000s of women have their babies and through this we know that this kind of information given to a woman at the right time can totally change her experience of pregnancy and birth. We invite you to do our free pregnancy quiz at www.growmybaby.com.au This episode talks about:

| 15. A heads up about Breech Birth | 05 Nov 2019 | 00:28:36 | |
Having a baby in the breech position presents its own set of challenges. A baby from 20 – 30 weeks moves around tonnes and that is expected and wanted because a healthy baby moves. If though, your baby is still ‘head up’ at 35 weeks we will need a plan for your baby’s birth. Why did we start this podcast? Well we think there is a barrier for women to get EXPERT pregnancy info that is practical, relatable and easy to understand. Dr Pat has helped 1000s of women have their babies and through this experience, as well as having four boys ourselves, we know that this kind of information given to a woman at the right time can totally empower her throughout pregnancy and birth. We also have a free pregnancy quiz for you to do at www.growmybaby.com.au In this podcast we talk about:

| 14. Should I have a GBS swab? | 30 Oct 2019 | 00:21:19 | |
This is one of those tests that can feel a bit icky and remind you that yep, the process of growing a baby is at times, undignified. Some women choose not to have the GBS test and that is totally their right. Some women have the test and wonder later “what was that for?” This ep is 20 mins of power to help you be the full bottle on GBS testing so you can make some red hot decisions about your health care. If you like our style of pregnancy information then we have a free pregnancy quiz on our website www.growmybaby.com.au. If you have a question you want answered on a podcast then send us the topic at info@growmybaby.com.au Firstly, what is GBS? GBS stands for Group B streptococcus and it is a bacteria that is normal to have in the vagina. About 20 percent of women will have GBS most of the time and it’s completely harmless, until it’s not.

| 13. What you need to know about First Trimester Screening tests | 23 Oct 2019 | 00:20:30 | |
First trimester screening is a test for genetic abnormality and is commonly called the Down Syndrome screen. The types of test, the accuracy, the costs and the ability to give you a definitive answer about genetic abnormality is really not well understood by patients…and sometimes care providers. At times, a screening test can create more questions than answers. Firstly, it is normal to assume all will be fine. Most of us do that, right? It can then come as an enormous shock to you if you get a result you weren’t expecting, particularly if you haven’t had a really good chat with your care provider before the test. This test is purely your choice. What you choose to do with the results is your choice. Our hope is that we all (care providers, family, friends, community) then support your choice with respect and non-judgement. In the GrowMyBaby program we give you expert led pregnancy information. If you are new to having a bump or you feel a bit lost in your pregnancy then head over to our pregnancy quiz: https://www.growmybaby.com.au/pregnancy-quiz
We cover: - What are your chances of having a baby with a genetic abnormality - How to assess your background risks - What tests are available - What are the timeframes to have each test - What are general costs +more And if you haven't subscribed yet - just hit the subscribe or follow button in your app of choice.

| 12. What contraception can you take to help protect your fertility? | 08 Oct 2019 | 00:24:05 | |
Most women spend most of their fertile time trying to NOT get pregnant but for those who want babies in the future, thoughts can wander to “what if my history of contraception impacts my fertility?” And it’s a common question. Contraception forms an integral part of a women’s life and is a very individual journey. What suits one woman may not suit another, even what suits you right now may not suit you at a different phase of your life. It is worth thinking about your options and putting a contraception plan in place. This podcast covers:

| 11. What are normal baby movements? And why we bang on about them so much | 30 Sep 2019 | 00:18:24 | |
Baby movements is your baby’s way of telling you all is well. A healthy baby should move. Imagine if you were really sick, you would still move around the bed and get up several times a day to go the toilet. If you lay in bed for many hours, not moving at all, you would probably be dreadfully ill. A baby that’s doing nothing is not normal. And why are we so insistent about baby movements? If we look at unexpected stillbirths in the third trimester, an alarming number of those stillbirths are preceded by a couple of days of decreased or absent fetal movements. Your main defence against this is to be focused, from about 28 weeks, on YOUR baby’s pattern of movement. This podcast covers:

| 10. Getting the Whooping Cough vaccine (and what to do about visitors) | 24 Sep 2019 | 00:11:38 | |
What to do about visitors to your newborn baby? Firstly, feel confident to stand by YOUR rules. This episode talks about one potential rule 'all visitors to have a whooping cough booster before visiting the baby'. Banning people from having contact with your baby, particularly if they are showing signs of a persistent cough, is really smart. We know it’s hard to not share the joy of a brand new baby with loved ones (hands up who loves a snuggle with a newborn?) but after a quick listen to this ep you will be able to confidently stand by your decisions.

| 9. The idea of Gentle Induction (of labour) | 10 Sep 2019 | 00:44:15 | |
Induction of labour. This is recommended listening for every woman who is pregnant, particularly those getting close to the end of their pregnancy.

| 8. Why the position of your placenta is important | 03 Sep 2019 | 00:13:08 | |
The placenta is the frisbee shaped wonder pack that really has so many jobs as you grow your baby. Firstly, it sends oxygen and nutrients from the mother's circulation, down the cord into the baby. In reverse, it sends fetal waste products back up the cord into the placenta and off around the mother's body for excretion. It also is a gland that makes pregnancy hormones. BUT sometimes your placenta's position gets in the way of allowing your baby to head out your cervix when it's time for birth. A complete placenta praevia occurs in 1 in 200 pregnancies. This is where the placenta completely covers the uterus and prevents you from having a vaginal birth. This episode talks about the different types of praevia, when you get checked for praevia, what risks are involved and what to do if this is you And if you do want to hear about anything to do with this episode or any other episodes, email us at info@growmybaby.com.au LINKS | |||
| 7. When your baby comes (too) early | 27 Aug 2019 | 00:29:19 | |
We've all heard the term 'Premmie" and we've seen the little babies in the Special Care nurseries with their naso-gastric tubes, little caps on their heads and surrounded by monitors. It's a frightening image but sometimes it always seems to happen to someone else - until it doesn't. This podcast is all about defining what prematurity is. It covers:

| 6. Bleeding in early pregnancy. What does it mean? | 19 Aug 2019 | 00:18:06 | |
Bleeding and spotting in early pregnancy can be really frightening. We've got our own experience of Brigid having a big bleed when she was seven weeks pregnant and it came as such a shock and I remember feeling anxious - thinking we lost the baby.
