KICBump

This is an episode like we’ve never done before!! Taylah Tudehope-Glachan is a mum to two-year-old quadruplets: Daisy, Archie, Billy and Charlie.
In this episode, Taylah shares about the trouble she had conceiving and then finding out that not only was she pregnant, but she was having quadruplets, the differences between pregnancy with four babies compared to one, birth, and the day-to-day reality of life with quadruplets.
Taylah also shares about the challenges faced by families of multiples, including parental leave allowances, the mental & physical toll on parents, the clinical complexity of pregnancy and birth.

It’s been a while since Dalton has been on the podcast, so this week we’ve got him back on to answer all your questions!
Like…How did you feel in the birth suite? Did you bond with Atlas straight away? Are you really sharing the load or are you just saying that you are? How’s your mental health? What’s your advice for new and soon-to-be dads listening?
Baby Atlas makes his podcast debut in this episode so you may hear him throughout the episode too ❤️

There’s a bit going on this week! Laura reflects on her maternity leave now that she’s in it vs what she thought she’d want before she had Atlas, we’re both feeling extremely touched out, Laura & Dalton tried having sex again, and Atlas did his first poo in the bath 💩
Plus! Our highs and lows for the week.
