WEBVTT - Week 26: Is It My Waters Breaking Or Have I Just Peed Myself?

0:00:11.149 --> 0:00:13.909
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Amma Mia podcast.

0:00:14.829 --> 0:00:17.869
<v Speaker 2>Mom and Maya acknowledges the traditional owners of land and

0:00:17.949 --> 0:00:20.029
<v Speaker 2>waters that this podcast is recorded on.

0:00:21.389 --> 0:00:23.229
<v Speaker 1>I am pregnant.

0:00:26.989 --> 0:00:30.309
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Hello Bump. We're making pregnancy less overwhelming and

0:00:30.389 --> 0:00:33.469
<v Speaker 2>more manageable. I'm Grace Ruvery. I'm pregnant for the first time,

0:00:33.509 --> 0:00:35.589
<v Speaker 2>and I have just had eight days in a row

0:00:35.709 --> 0:00:37.349
<v Speaker 2>with no vomiting. Is this forever?

0:00:37.909 --> 0:00:40.389
<v Speaker 1>It's fantastic news. This is Yanna Pittman.

0:00:40.389 --> 0:00:42.749
<v Speaker 3>I'm a former Olympian, mother of six babies and training

0:00:42.789 --> 0:00:44.589
<v Speaker 3>to be an obstitucian and gynocologist.

0:00:44.749 --> 0:00:47.189
<v Speaker 2>Each episode will be holding your hand week by week

0:00:47.229 --> 0:00:52.069
<v Speaker 2>through the mysterious, perplexing, and sometimes celebratory miracle that is pregnancy.

0:00:53.629 --> 0:00:57.629
<v Speaker 2>Week twenty six. How big is the baby this week?

0:00:57.749 --> 0:01:00.349
<v Speaker 1>Pers, I just want to celebrate. That's amazing, Thank you, Sorry,

0:01:00.829 --> 0:01:01.669
<v Speaker 1>that's excellent.

0:01:01.829 --> 0:01:03.269
<v Speaker 2>I mean twenty six weeks in.

0:01:03.829 --> 0:01:05.989
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's a lot to have gone through. Yes, it's

0:01:06.069 --> 0:01:08.309
<v Speaker 1>just honor that. That's huge anyhow, But I'll take it.

0:01:08.349 --> 0:01:08.949
<v Speaker 2>We're stoked.

0:01:09.309 --> 0:01:12.189
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, your baby at twenty six weeks is the size

0:01:12.189 --> 0:01:12.869
<v Speaker 3>of a turnip.

0:01:13.509 --> 0:01:16.229
<v Speaker 2>I thought maybe a fancy bottle of sparkling water.

0:01:16.309 --> 0:01:18.029
<v Speaker 1>Oh that is a little more fancy. I like it.

0:01:18.789 --> 0:01:22.029
<v Speaker 1>A bandicoot was the animal theme. It was really hard

0:01:22.029 --> 0:01:22.949
<v Speaker 1>to find one this week.

0:01:23.229 --> 0:01:25.549
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I love that. And how long are they?

0:01:25.949 --> 0:01:29.069
<v Speaker 3>Thirty six centimeters roughly and now weighing between six hundred

0:01:29.109 --> 0:01:31.229
<v Speaker 3>and eighty and nine hundred grams. This is whether variation

0:01:31.349 --> 0:01:32.629
<v Speaker 3>is really going to start kicking in.

0:01:33.189 --> 0:01:33.709
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean?

0:01:33.749 --> 0:01:35.469
<v Speaker 3>It basically means that the baby's size will be a

0:01:35.509 --> 0:01:36.989
<v Speaker 3>little bit dependent on you and your partner.

0:01:37.029 --> 0:01:38.589
<v Speaker 1>So we call that constitutional growth.

0:01:38.629 --> 0:01:42.069
<v Speaker 3>So if you're really tall and you know, you're likely

0:01:42.069 --> 0:01:43.469
<v Speaker 3>to have a tall baby and a bigger baby. If

0:01:43.509 --> 0:01:45.829
<v Speaker 3>you're petit, you're not likely to grow a ninety eight

0:01:45.869 --> 0:01:46.549
<v Speaker 3>centile baby.

0:01:46.709 --> 0:01:49.229
<v Speaker 2>Is whether your partner has a big head? Does that

0:01:49.389 --> 0:01:50.549
<v Speaker 2>come into it at this point?

0:01:50.749 --> 0:01:52.469
<v Speaker 3>Look, some genetics do play in mind, but you got

0:01:52.549 --> 0:01:54.709
<v Speaker 3>to remember that the baby has very soft bones in

0:01:54.749 --> 0:01:57.229
<v Speaker 3>its brain and the Fontenelle's crossover to allow that. So

0:01:57.749 --> 0:01:59.749
<v Speaker 3>my midwife, who I love, has always said, your body

0:01:59.789 --> 0:02:02.349
<v Speaker 3>will make a baby that's suited for you. So you

0:02:02.389 --> 0:02:03.669
<v Speaker 3>know it's cardious, isn't it?

0:02:03.669 --> 0:02:03.749
<v Speaker 2>Now?

0:02:03.789 --> 0:02:05.829
<v Speaker 3>Obviously there's reasons like GDM, which you should have been

0:02:05.869 --> 0:02:08.189
<v Speaker 3>tested for by now twenty eight weeks that means sometimes

0:02:08.189 --> 0:02:10.309
<v Speaker 3>babies can be bigger if the diabetes is unconstroy roll.

0:02:10.349 --> 0:02:13.189
<v Speaker 3>But if you've got a really low risk ongoing normal pregnancy,

0:02:13.789 --> 0:02:15.589
<v Speaker 3>the chances are your baby's size is going to fit

0:02:15.629 --> 0:02:16.789
<v Speaker 3>you beautifully great.

0:02:17.189 --> 0:02:18.909
<v Speaker 2>I do look at my partner's head and go, oh,

0:02:18.949 --> 0:02:22.069
<v Speaker 2>dear God, Yes, but my body knows what it's doing.

0:02:22.189 --> 0:02:25.629
<v Speaker 2>It does as it does, it does, And what else

0:02:25.629 --> 0:02:26.469
<v Speaker 2>are they developing?

0:02:26.629 --> 0:02:29.309
<v Speaker 3>So your little one can now suck, see here and taste,

0:02:29.349 --> 0:02:30.989
<v Speaker 3>which I think is a big milestone. That's a lot

0:02:30.989 --> 0:02:35.429
<v Speaker 3>of sensory changes. And other boys testicles are now fully descended,

0:02:35.469 --> 0:02:37.509
<v Speaker 3>so they should if they come now have little balls

0:02:37.509 --> 0:02:38.349
<v Speaker 3>outside of their body.

0:02:38.389 --> 0:02:40.429
<v Speaker 2>And if they are born premature, are you waiting for

0:02:40.469 --> 0:02:41.109
<v Speaker 2>them to drop?

0:02:41.469 --> 0:02:43.949
<v Speaker 3>If they're born twenty five twin like, we do that

0:02:43.989 --> 0:02:47.189
<v Speaker 3>in an exam. Afterwards we check for testicular development and

0:02:47.309 --> 0:02:49.109
<v Speaker 3>often they won't be there. They look they start around

0:02:49.149 --> 0:02:50.789
<v Speaker 3>twenty six weeks, so you might have a baby that's

0:02:50.789 --> 0:02:52.589
<v Speaker 3>had them earlier, but by twenty eight weeks they should

0:02:52.589 --> 0:02:53.389
<v Speaker 3>be fully descended.

0:02:53.589 --> 0:02:54.189
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong.

0:02:54.229 --> 0:02:55.749
<v Speaker 3>Some little boys are born without that, so you will

0:02:55.789 --> 0:02:57.989
<v Speaker 3>actually even a full term little boy may not have

0:02:58.029 --> 0:03:00.069
<v Speaker 3>a testicle that might have one, or they might be

0:03:00.149 --> 0:03:02.509
<v Speaker 3>quite higher, but it is something the pediatrician will check

0:03:02.509 --> 0:03:02.909
<v Speaker 3>at birth.

0:03:03.389 --> 0:03:07.389
<v Speaker 2>What what's happening to me and what's happening to us?

0:03:07.629 --> 0:03:09.069
<v Speaker 1>You're bigger, you're hungrier.

0:03:09.429 --> 0:03:12.069
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you might have started noticing that abdominal separation a

0:03:12.109 --> 0:03:14.389
<v Speaker 3>little bit more and you might be finding it now.

0:03:14.389 --> 0:03:15.989
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to sit up now. I think that's a

0:03:15.989 --> 0:03:18.189
<v Speaker 3>really important conversation. Is the amount of women I see

0:03:18.189 --> 0:03:21.109
<v Speaker 3>reef themselves up, you know, big, big sit up.

0:03:21.229 --> 0:03:23.069
<v Speaker 1>It's really bad for your abdominant abdomen.

0:03:23.189 --> 0:03:25.549
<v Speaker 2>There's some noises that are happening from the body when

0:03:25.589 --> 0:03:27.749
<v Speaker 2>I do sit up, or if I drop something on

0:03:27.789 --> 0:03:30.709
<v Speaker 2>the ground, Yeah, to pick it up exactly, Yeah.

0:03:30.509 --> 0:03:30.829
<v Speaker 1>I hear.

0:03:31.589 --> 0:03:33.749
<v Speaker 3>So we want to roll over or if you're on

0:03:33.789 --> 0:03:35.269
<v Speaker 3>the ground, if you're picking up something off the floor,

0:03:35.269 --> 0:03:36.749
<v Speaker 3>get down onto your hands and knees, pick it up,

0:03:36.749 --> 0:03:38.509
<v Speaker 3>and then get back up and stand. So, particularly the

0:03:38.589 --> 0:03:40.789
<v Speaker 3>sitting up though, you guys want to roll over to

0:03:40.869 --> 0:03:43.309
<v Speaker 3>your left side and then use your arm to push

0:03:43.349 --> 0:03:46.109
<v Speaker 3>yourself up. Starting that now before your baby gets really big,

0:03:46.149 --> 0:03:48.709
<v Speaker 3>we'll really try and protect those abdominal muscles down the track.

0:03:49.669 --> 0:03:53.309
<v Speaker 2>Is this normal normal? So? Is this normal I'm getting

0:03:53.349 --> 0:03:58.429
<v Speaker 2>quite tired, like quite fatigued, like eyes. It's that bone

0:03:58.509 --> 0:04:01.149
<v Speaker 2>tired where you can't necessarily go and have a nap,

0:04:01.189 --> 0:04:03.749
<v Speaker 2>but your body just starts to feel tired, as well

0:04:03.789 --> 0:04:08.429
<v Speaker 2>as being a bit more sensitive to heat and needing

0:04:08.509 --> 0:04:10.349
<v Speaker 2>more airflow in my life.

0:04:10.669 --> 0:04:13.789
<v Speaker 3>This normal look, I mean, the fatigue can happen to

0:04:13.789 --> 0:04:16.269
<v Speaker 3>anybody at any point. Your body's going through a remarkable

0:04:16.349 --> 0:04:18.669
<v Speaker 3>change of growing your baby. So are you still working

0:04:18.669 --> 0:04:20.949
<v Speaker 3>full time? Some people are, some people aren't. Are you

0:04:20.989 --> 0:04:23.029
<v Speaker 3>up all night with nausea? Are you getting up to

0:04:23.069 --> 0:04:25.029
<v Speaker 3>peel all night? There's lots of factors that will come

0:04:25.029 --> 0:04:27.669
<v Speaker 3>into the fatigue. Time to check that iron again. So

0:04:27.669 --> 0:04:29.629
<v Speaker 3>you're approaching that sort of twenty eight week mark, so

0:04:29.909 --> 0:04:31.829
<v Speaker 3>you know, ideally we do that test in the early

0:04:31.909 --> 0:04:33.869
<v Speaker 3>third dromester, so around the twenty eight weeks. But if

0:04:33.909 --> 0:04:36.029
<v Speaker 3>you're feeling that fatigue, it's time to just get it rechecked,

0:04:36.029 --> 0:04:38.789
<v Speaker 3>because even if you're taking oral iron, you might find

0:04:38.829 --> 0:04:41.069
<v Speaker 3>it's not enough, and so that might be a discussion.

0:04:41.069 --> 0:04:43.229
<v Speaker 3>You need to have the hot stuff or you vas it.

0:04:43.229 --> 0:04:45.229
<v Speaker 3>I like your vessels, you're trying to pump blood around.

0:04:45.269 --> 0:04:46.309
<v Speaker 3>You've got that extra volume.

0:04:46.389 --> 0:04:47.309
<v Speaker 2>Oh yes, the more blood.

0:04:47.749 --> 0:04:49.909
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, blood, while we were back to that again, and

0:04:50.189 --> 0:04:52.589
<v Speaker 3>it's also really hard. Depending on the season, you have

0:04:52.629 --> 0:04:54.309
<v Speaker 3>more blood flow to your sweat gland, so you will

0:04:54.349 --> 0:04:56.469
<v Speaker 3>sweat more. So you might find you're like, I'm wetter

0:04:56.509 --> 0:04:57.909
<v Speaker 3>than I used to be into my arm and my

0:04:57.989 --> 0:05:00.349
<v Speaker 3>armpits in between my breasts and things. It's again quite

0:05:00.389 --> 0:05:03.069
<v Speaker 3>common in pregnancy. It's not a concern. You might have

0:05:03.069 --> 0:05:05.269
<v Speaker 3>ever find you sweat smells more differently as well because

0:05:05.269 --> 0:05:07.549
<v Speaker 3>you're still detoxing and everything through your skin. So it's

0:05:07.589 --> 0:05:09.469
<v Speaker 3>just something to be aware of and don't let your

0:05:09.509 --> 0:05:12.029
<v Speaker 3>body overheat. So again it comes back to hydration, getting

0:05:12.029 --> 0:05:14.789
<v Speaker 3>yourself in a cool room, using cool compresses of wet

0:05:14.949 --> 0:05:17.989
<v Speaker 3>cold towels at night if you need it. Otherwise you

0:05:18.029 --> 0:05:19.829
<v Speaker 3>might end up being quite itchy and uncomfortable with dry

0:05:19.829 --> 0:05:23.349
<v Speaker 3>skin as well. So it's an interesting chapter but definitely common.

0:05:23.389 --> 0:05:25.869
<v Speaker 2>When you talk about the iron infusion, is that something

0:05:25.949 --> 0:05:28.429
<v Speaker 2>you can request from your doctor or do they have

0:05:28.469 --> 0:05:31.029
<v Speaker 2>to look at your results and decide that you're eligible

0:05:31.069 --> 0:05:31.309
<v Speaker 2>for that.

0:05:31.789 --> 0:05:32.549
<v Speaker 1>It's a little bit of both.

0:05:32.589 --> 0:05:34.309
<v Speaker 3>If you're in a public health system, we need a

0:05:34.349 --> 0:05:38.509
<v Speaker 3>criteria where the iron the ferretin level is under thirty

0:05:38.549 --> 0:05:40.269
<v Speaker 3>and the hemoglobin has to be under one hundred and ten.

0:05:40.349 --> 0:05:42.509
<v Speaker 3>So that's your public free looked in.

0:05:42.589 --> 0:05:43.749
<v Speaker 2>Can you say those stats again?

0:05:43.789 --> 0:05:44.069
<v Speaker 1>Sorry?

0:05:44.109 --> 0:05:46.349
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, see your Ferreton level, your FB needs to be

0:05:46.949 --> 0:05:49.589
<v Speaker 3>under thirty for most of the time, it'll be like

0:05:49.629 --> 0:05:52.629
<v Speaker 3>eight or nine or tens is something lower. And your hemoglobin,

0:05:52.669 --> 0:05:55.829
<v Speaker 3>that oxygen carrying molecule has to be under one hundred

0:05:55.829 --> 0:06:00.149
<v Speaker 3>and ten. Okay, so they're your textbook standards, but don't

0:06:00.149 --> 0:06:02.309
<v Speaker 3>get me wrong. For example, you've got a hemoglobin of

0:06:02.309 --> 0:06:04.989
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and your ferreten's thirty two. You might find

0:06:05.709 --> 0:06:07.949
<v Speaker 3>some obstetrician will say, look, I think it's probably better

0:06:08.149 --> 0:06:09.509
<v Speaker 3>year twenty six weeks pregnant.

0:06:09.509 --> 0:06:10.669
<v Speaker 1>It's only going to be it worse.

0:06:11.469 --> 0:06:14.029
<v Speaker 3>But I think the caveat there is that most of

0:06:14.109 --> 0:06:16.469
<v Speaker 3>us would prefer you to have it within six weeks

0:06:16.549 --> 0:06:18.389
<v Speaker 3>or seven weeks of birth. So at twenty six weeks

0:06:18.429 --> 0:06:20.709
<v Speaker 3>you've got a long way to go, And what we're

0:06:20.749 --> 0:06:22.869
<v Speaker 3>really preparing for you is, yes, they're fatigue now, but

0:06:22.909 --> 0:06:24.389
<v Speaker 3>it's also that when you lose that blood at birth,

0:06:24.429 --> 0:06:25.749
<v Speaker 3>we want you to be able to recoup in the

0:06:25.749 --> 0:06:28.629
<v Speaker 3>postpart and period, So ideally we pop you in orals.

0:06:28.629 --> 0:06:31.709
<v Speaker 3>Now increase the oral intake of dietary iron and also

0:06:32.109 --> 0:06:35.029
<v Speaker 3>supplementary iron. Recheck you your results again at thirty four

0:06:35.029 --> 0:06:37.149
<v Speaker 3>to thirty six weeks, and if it's low, then we

0:06:37.229 --> 0:06:39.549
<v Speaker 3>then offer you the iron infusion. And yes, if your

0:06:39.629 --> 0:06:41.269
<v Speaker 3>borderline and you want to have it, of course there's

0:06:41.269 --> 0:06:42.789
<v Speaker 3>private clinics that'll allow you to pay for it, but

0:06:42.789 --> 0:06:43.589
<v Speaker 3>it just won't be free.

0:06:45.469 --> 0:06:47.709
<v Speaker 2>What are some things that we can do at twenty

0:06:47.749 --> 0:06:49.789
<v Speaker 2>six weeks on our checklist?

0:06:50.469 --> 0:06:52.109
<v Speaker 1>I think you're back to getting you are facial at

0:06:52.109 --> 0:06:52.509
<v Speaker 1>this point.

0:06:52.669 --> 0:06:55.069
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so let's go for something nice to do other

0:06:55.149 --> 0:06:57.669
<v Speaker 3>than what you need to do, just little self care

0:06:57.909 --> 0:06:59.949
<v Speaker 3>things at this point, particularly when you are feeling tired,

0:06:59.949 --> 0:07:01.509
<v Speaker 3>I think it's just really important to start. You know,

0:07:01.509 --> 0:07:03.549
<v Speaker 3>you're still probably trying to get on with your daily activities,

0:07:03.549 --> 0:07:05.349
<v Speaker 3>but time to reapply some time for yourself.

0:07:05.829 --> 0:07:07.709
<v Speaker 1>Your red flags, guys, I think now it's your red flags.

0:07:07.709 --> 0:07:09.549
<v Speaker 3>We're going to have to mention them every episode because

0:07:09.549 --> 0:07:12.749
<v Speaker 3>we need to make sure we don't miss someone baby's movements, bleeding,

0:07:13.429 --> 0:07:17.109
<v Speaker 3>funny discharge, contractions, pain. Now is the time you need

0:07:17.149 --> 0:07:20.749
<v Speaker 3>to watch your vaginal loss because waters can be tricky.

0:07:20.869 --> 0:07:22.549
<v Speaker 3>It's not a big gush like you see on the movie.

0:07:22.589 --> 0:07:24.029
<v Speaker 3>So if you find you have a little leak of

0:07:24.109 --> 0:07:27.629
<v Speaker 3>weird continuous discharge, put a pad on, and if it's

0:07:27.669 --> 0:07:29.629
<v Speaker 3>continuous and watery throughout the day, you actually need to

0:07:29.629 --> 0:07:31.589
<v Speaker 3>go into triple check that you've still got intact membranes.

0:07:31.629 --> 0:07:34.309
<v Speaker 3>So most of the time it's we I can say

0:07:34.309 --> 0:07:36.189
<v Speaker 3>I've sent a lot of ladies home who've feed themselves.

0:07:36.229 --> 0:07:36.989
<v Speaker 3>That's okay, but.

0:07:36.949 --> 0:07:38.069
<v Speaker 1>We need to make sure that's what it is.

0:07:38.149 --> 0:07:40.629
<v Speaker 2>Will you know in terms of the consistency, will it

0:07:40.669 --> 0:07:44.429
<v Speaker 2>be different too, because we've said discharge does change, does

0:07:44.549 --> 0:07:46.749
<v Speaker 2>the consistency of leaking?

0:07:47.069 --> 0:07:50.309
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's not only more watery, so it's more like urine.

0:07:50.349 --> 0:07:52.349
<v Speaker 3>So the more common thing is increase discharge you find

0:07:52.389 --> 0:07:55.109
<v Speaker 3>go home. We do a special little test, but in

0:07:55.189 --> 0:07:58.269
<v Speaker 3>most hospitals, rural or tertiary hospitals will do a little test.

0:07:58.349 --> 0:08:00.589
<v Speaker 3>It's something called like an act and prom or something

0:08:00.629 --> 0:08:02.389
<v Speaker 3>like that that'll actually look at whether or an amney

0:08:02.389 --> 0:08:05.309
<v Speaker 3>sure if it's actually your amniotic fluid or not, because

0:08:05.309 --> 0:08:07.389
<v Speaker 3>it looks for the proteins in the amniotic fluid that

0:08:07.389 --> 0:08:09.469
<v Speaker 3>are not normally in the vagina, and it can tell

0:08:09.469 --> 0:08:11.309
<v Speaker 3>you whether it is flued or not. We get false

0:08:11.309 --> 0:08:13.269
<v Speaker 3>positives when there's too much discharge, though, so you might

0:08:13.309 --> 0:08:15.149
<v Speaker 3>find you had a false positive two three days later,

0:08:15.229 --> 0:08:16.509
<v Speaker 3>like go home, you don't have it and you're like,

0:08:16.549 --> 0:08:17.469
<v Speaker 3>what what hanging on?

0:08:17.509 --> 0:08:18.349
<v Speaker 1>I'm so confused.

0:08:19.029 --> 0:08:22.189
<v Speaker 3>But it's normally watery, and look, it's uncommon. Again at

0:08:22.229 --> 0:08:24.549
<v Speaker 3>twenty six weeks, it's still it's more common women break

0:08:24.549 --> 0:08:26.509
<v Speaker 3>there when brain's thirty four, thirty five, thirty eight weeks.

0:08:26.509 --> 0:08:28.909
<v Speaker 3>But it's just again when we're talking red flags, these

0:08:28.909 --> 0:08:30.229
<v Speaker 3>are the four or five things that you need to

0:08:30.269 --> 0:08:31.709
<v Speaker 3>go no, no, no, sweet.

0:08:33.629 --> 0:08:37.469
<v Speaker 2>So my toolkit this week is to buy bump flattering

0:08:37.469 --> 0:08:41.189
<v Speaker 2>out fits for fun, fun, for fun, just because there's

0:08:41.389 --> 0:08:44.629
<v Speaker 2>the floaty stage of pregnancy where it does look like

0:08:44.669 --> 0:08:46.989
<v Speaker 2>you've just had a big lunch, so you're probably covering it.

0:08:47.309 --> 0:08:50.829
<v Speaker 2>But now the bump could be looking a bit more

0:08:50.949 --> 0:08:54.989
<v Speaker 2>like gorgeous. Yeah, you're in the attractive stage of pregnancy.

0:08:55.189 --> 0:08:58.429
<v Speaker 2>You look really cute. The maternity photo shoot is not

0:08:58.469 --> 0:08:59.549
<v Speaker 2>something I'm interested.

0:08:59.229 --> 0:09:01.829
<v Speaker 1>In, really, Oh, I do every one of my pregnancies.

0:09:02.669 --> 0:09:04.869
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I'm just imagining myself in some type

0:09:04.869 --> 0:09:07.069
<v Speaker 2>of field, wrapped in a sheet, and I'm like I'm.

0:09:08.389 --> 0:09:08.669
<v Speaker 1>Fine.

0:09:09.269 --> 0:09:11.069
<v Speaker 2>I mean I think I would like to look like

0:09:11.469 --> 0:09:16.189
<v Speaker 2>maybe fashionable and beholding my bump, but also trying to

0:09:16.189 --> 0:09:20.349
<v Speaker 2>find stuff that fits your style beforehand. For example, today,

0:09:20.629 --> 0:09:24.029
<v Speaker 2>I always love a jumpsuit because they make me feel

0:09:24.029 --> 0:09:26.629
<v Speaker 2>like me, and my previous jumpsuits weren't fitting me. But

0:09:26.629 --> 0:09:29.349
<v Speaker 2>then I found something it was a chic and it

0:09:29.429 --> 0:09:31.589
<v Speaker 2>comes in at my waist that makes me feel like

0:09:31.589 --> 0:09:33.509
<v Speaker 2>I still have a waist, but then it comes over

0:09:33.549 --> 0:09:37.709
<v Speaker 2>my bump. So there's some pregnancy maternity brands that do

0:09:38.189 --> 0:09:40.949
<v Speaker 2>really wonderful things for bumps. But then there are trying

0:09:40.949 --> 0:09:42.829
<v Speaker 2>to find things but just in a bigger size that

0:09:42.949 --> 0:09:46.269
<v Speaker 2>still make you feel fashionable and make you feel like yourself,

0:09:46.349 --> 0:09:48.669
<v Speaker 2>which has been really helpful for me this week. What

0:09:48.709 --> 0:09:50.749
<v Speaker 2>are the maternity brands that you know of, Well.

0:09:50.629 --> 0:09:52.669
<v Speaker 3>I mean my favorite is actually Ripe Maternity, So I

0:09:52.709 --> 0:09:55.829
<v Speaker 3>bought probably three quarters of my wardrobe through them. Really lovely,

0:09:55.869 --> 0:09:59.269
<v Speaker 3>stylish work clothes, gym clothes, fitness, like everything you can

0:09:59.309 --> 0:10:02.309
<v Speaker 3>think of. Taja Target does a really good maternity ryn.

0:10:02.429 --> 0:10:04.349
<v Speaker 3>So there's got lots of yeah, lots of really good

0:10:04.349 --> 0:10:07.149
<v Speaker 3>stuff there. Look, it depends if you're into secondhand stuff.

0:10:07.149 --> 0:10:08.989
<v Speaker 3>I mean also depends how many pregnancies you plan to have.

0:10:09.029 --> 0:10:11.629
<v Speaker 3>But if you wan't done Facebook marketplace like people do

0:10:11.829 --> 0:10:15.109
<v Speaker 3>where you have really really expensive maternity stuff where at

0:10:15.109 --> 0:10:16.189
<v Speaker 3>once and then they're not get.

0:10:16.149 --> 0:10:16.509
<v Speaker 2>Rid of it them.

0:10:16.589 --> 0:10:18.349
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so a bit like Baby close at the end

0:10:18.389 --> 0:10:20.869
<v Speaker 3>and baby We're in general, prams and whatnot. It's not

0:10:20.869 --> 0:10:22.149
<v Speaker 3>a bad place to turn if you're on a bit

0:10:22.149 --> 0:10:22.909
<v Speaker 3>of a budget.
