The Travel Stretch

This week on @StretchMarksPodcast Caroline and Sinead are talking all things sleep. Their different approaches to and experiences of sleep since becoming parents. The go-with-the-flow style versus a more structured approach, what worked or is working for you? Listener participation covers topics such as co-sleeping, sleep training, and how a lack of sleep, especially in those early days, can impact us both physically and mentally. It's normal and to be expected for your sleep to take a hit, but what's possibly lacking is the support around that to help you rest and recharge when you can.  Join us on Instagram to get involved.

The Postnatal Anxiety Stretch with Jessica Urlichs

In this episode Sinead and Caroline talk about the relationship stretch. How has having children impacted our partnerships? According to our polls and questions, the majority of us feel pulled apart from our partners, a little lost from each other and struggling to prioritise our time together after our kids and ourselves have been taken care of. We have great intentions but the tiredness takes over. What practical and doable things can we do to make the relationship stretch a good one? How can we fortify what brought us together before it became about the kids? Follow us on @StretchMarksPodcast on Instagram for more.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Caroline opens up about her fears around adding to the family - given her bumpy beginning as a parent while Sinead shares how she has found this particular stretch. As always we take the temperature on where you're at. How did you know when your family was complete? What has been your biggest challenge in expanding your family?

Another Baby? The Family Stretch

@StretchMarksPodcastHere's the thing: we know we SHOULD love our bodies and say only kind things to ourselves when they've just grown a human being, but for many mothers, the reality is that our relationship with our own bodies can take a downward turn after giving birth, and even during pregnancy. For this episode, Sinead and Caroline take it back to where it all begins: with the body stretch. The boobs, the hips, the perineum - that's where it all starts. And what about the 'bounce back'? We're done celebrating that; instead we celebrate the stretch (or at least we try to). We talk everything from body confidence, where you - our listeners - are at with your own body image, how it changed pre and postpartum and how we can begin to be just a little bit kinder to ourselves and our bodies.
