Pregnancy Episode 4. : Postpartum


Topics covered : The physical, mental and emotional impact of childbirth, hormones, baby blues, post-natal depression, intrusive thoughts, pelvic floor, anxiety/shame/guilt, some hospital bag essentials, body changes, hair loss, placenta encapsulation, sleep, breastfeeding/ bottle feeding/ combination feeding, new-born baby tips, SIDS.


This is the fourth and final episode in my pregnancy miniseries and it’s all about postpartum.

My guest is parenting and baby expert Claire Thompson who goes by the Instagram handle ‘The Newborn Nanny’ and she is a wealth of knowledge.

She lives in Wicklow with her husband Ben and their four kids

(Evie, Emmy, Georgie and Harry) and in this

conversation we delve into the often-unspoken world of postpartum as she takes

us from the moment your baby is born to the hours, days, weeks and months that

follow. And she gives tons of practical advice that I think will really help you

navigate those early days.


You’ll find Claire on Instagram…
