Podcast guests wanted!
We’re looking for guest speakers for new episodes of our Bump in the Road podcast. We’d love to hear from parents and carers about their experience of the perinatal period.
Our podcast aims to bring to light and normalise the struggles that many parents and carers face throughout pregnancy, the newborn stage, and up until their baby is 1 (the perinatal period). With stories from other parents, to advice and information from health visitors, to coping strategies from psychologists, there's something for anyone who’s going through this often challenging time.
The topics we usually cover are:
- How did you find being pregnant? What was hard, what was good, what emotions did you experience?
- Did anyone or anything help you with your wellbeing and mental health during this time?
- How did you find having a newborn? What was hard, what was good, what emotions did you experience?
- Did anyone or anything help you with your wellbeing and mental health during this time?
- How did you find having a 2 month old - 1 year old? What was hard, what was good, what emotions did you experience?
- Did anyone or anything help you with your wellbeing and mental health during this time?
- What piece of advice would you give to expecting parents?
You can listen to other episodes on Spotify or YouTube.
