Well, well, well… long time no see, friends. Welcome back to Hello Bump. Last time we spoke, Jessie & Luca walked you through the arrival of their beautiful baby girl, Luna.  Now that the dust has settled and they’re in the swing of life with baby, we wanted to know…has parenting been anything like they expected? In this episode, Jessie & Luca take us through what the first four months of parenting were really like. SPOILER: things were not as they expected.

A lot has happened since you last heard from us. For one, Jessie had a baby!  But her labour and birth didn't exactly go to plan... So today we've brought in Jessie's partner Luca so the two of them can discuss it from both sides of the experience, from the first contraction to when they met baby Luna. Consider this an experiment into how well our partners are paying attention in the delivery room. Everyone's experience is unique. Always seek medical advice to find what's right for you.  If you're struggling postpartum, you can find local support here. Hello Bump is proudly made in partnership with Huggies.

Congrats, you did it! The arrival of a new baby is an exciting time but it can also be incredibly challenging. Healing emotionally and physically, navigating sleep schedules, breastfeeding, nappies, mental health and adjusting to the new dynamic - it’s a lot. In this episode, we'll discuss what to expect in the first 6 weeks with a new baby. We'll speak with Postpartum doula Dr. Renee White about asking for help and creating a supportive network to lean on. Plus we'll hear from clinical psychiatrist Dr. Lisa Myers about the very real mental health challenges that can come up during the fourth trimester.  Everyone's experience is unique.
