LushTums - The Podcast

In this episode the Claires are joined by registered Nurse, Midwife, Author, NLP trainer and Father of 8 and Grandfather of 12 - Mark Harris.  Mark shares insights from his fascinating career as a Midwife, shares his thoughts on why there aren't more male midwives and gives tips on how men can better support their partners through pregnancy and birth.  We talk about why 30% of parents describe birth as "traumatic" and how the Birthing Awareness 3 Step Rewind Process can help those who are suffering.  He also explains why consistently doing the washing up without being asked may be more effective at boosting connection and oxytocin than a bunch of flowers!

We speak to Tina Mason, Head Physiotherapist and owner of Brighton Physiotherapy Clinic about her work and what women need to know about their pelvic floor.  We talk about the importance of getting a new mummy check, even if it is years after having a baby, and discuss the lack of understanding around our postnatal bodies and why jumping straight into high impact exercise following birth may not be the best thing.  This is a must listen for anyone who has questions about the pelvic floor and trampolining!
