	Are our kids safe online? - with Sarah from Secure Foundations	09 May 2022	00:54:08
In our 126th episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with Sara Bolitho from Secure Foundations. We've had Sarah on the poddy before where we spoke about body autonomy and speaking to our kids about consent (EP106 is you haven’t already listened!) However, this episode focuses purely on our kids' online safety. Now we have to admit, this is episode quite a hectic one, and you may not step away feeling ‘lighter than you did before’, but it's still an important conversation to be had. We know that there is some dark shit out there on the internet - that's no surprise to anyone. Our aim for this episode is to give people permission to use this information as they will; we definitely do NOT want to make anyone feel guilty if their kids have screen-time as we know how difficult parenting is and sometimes that is your only break for the day. Trigger warning!! There are discussions about child abuse, online child abuse material and suicide, so if you're already feeling like you're in a very vulnerable position of parenting we give you complete permission to not listen to this episode - we will not be offended. Is there an age that we should we be giving our kids a phone? What about Kids YouTube? Is that secure or not? Is it best to have an honest conversation with our kids about the potential dangers they could come across online? Or is it best to just keep them innocent? What kinds of things should we be telling our kids when it comes to talking to them about their online safety? Why doesn’t Sarah have her kids on the internet or social media? And questions Sarah want’s our audience to consider when it comes to posting our kids online. Does Sarah see a positive outcome for our children and the internet? When should we talk to our kids about pornography, internet safety and sexting? And some examples of how to have this conversation. What can we do as parents to keep our kids safe online and on social media? What about Facebook Kids? What warning signs should we be looking out for? When should we be alarmed? If our kids are using devices, do those restricted access type things work? And at what age do you stop controlling and monitoring their devices? How can you help a child after a traumatic event?

	Can anyone get gestational diabetes? - with Dr Timmy	13 Dec 2021	00:53:51
In our 108th episode of Beyond the Bump, Dr Timmy is back and this time he's answering all your questions about gestational diabetes! What is gestational diabetes? If you have gestational diabetes in one pregnancy how likely are you to have it in subsequent pregnancies? What is the glucose tolerance test and what will you go through to get the test? Why is gestational diabetes only tested at 28 weeks? Can you develop gestational diabetes after a normal glucose test? Why is gestational diabetes even tested? Like why do we need to know if we have it? If you have undiagnosed/unmanaged gestational diabetes will your baby come out bigger than he/she would have if you had diagnosed/managed it? Can we do anything to reduce our chances of getting gestational diabetes? Is gestational diabetes just 'for now' and not forever? And MORE!!!! We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!

	Um stars, reckon you could help me out here? - with astrologer Kristy Gray	10 Dec 2021	00:58:48
Our Bonus 107th episode of Beyond the Bump is a little bit of a different one - it's not necessarily parenting related, but we feel like the things we talk about can get taken and adapted to parenthood and life in general. We chat with astrologer Kristy Gray. Kristy went through ours and our husbands’ natal charts and told us all about what our star signs, our sun and our moon says about us as people, our current state, and our future! The stars are aligning people. So, get on board and have a listen. We hope you enjoy!
