Speaker 1: Laura, come on, here.
Speaker 2: We go.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hi, Hi Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Everyone. We on thanks to Chemist Warehouse heading today great
Speaker 1: savings every day.
Speaker 2: Somebody yesterday confused Mitch and I has been a married couple.
Speaker 4: I could not see that.
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 4: I couldn't see you.
Speaker 1: Guys as a couple. Now, we'd be one of those
Speaker 1: couples that everyone's like, surely he's a bit, but.
Speaker 3: Surely he's gay. Yeah, she just doesn't know about it.
Speaker 3: You're going to tell bridge, I reckon.
Speaker 2: We walk past, and then strangers look at each other
Speaker 2: and they're like, when do you think she's going to
Speaker 2: figure out you?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: No, no, that's because we were together and we had
Speaker 1: BRIT's dog Delilah with us, and someone approached me and said,
Speaker 1: tell me about your Australian shepherd. So that I just said, oh, well,
Speaker 1: we got her briefly after we got married. You tell honey,
Speaker 1: you tell the story.
Speaker 2: He set me up, and through it he goes, Britt'll
Speaker 2: tell you about the wedding and the dog, and then
Speaker 2: I went along with a lie. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: So I just pretended and then Mitch said, oh, her
Speaker 2: name's Robin the dog, And that was the only part
Speaker 2: of the lie that I was like, I can't continue
Speaker 2: with this.
Speaker 4: I was like, it is not Robin, it is dog Lila.
Speaker 4: I was like, why are you lying?
Speaker 1: Not offended by the fact that we sleep together, but
Speaker 1: offended by the fact that her dog's name is Robert, happily.
Speaker 4: Be married to you, asleep with you in this lie.
Speaker 4: But my dog is not Robin.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's something very questionable about dogs that have
Speaker 3: human names.
Speaker 1: It's very off Anyway, love you honey, to walk together.
Speaker 4: That's so cute.
Speaker 3: Guys, I really feel like the third Wheel. Now Oho,
Speaker 3: we have a really big show coming up. But there's
Speaker 3: some very big news. If you are somebody who has
Speaker 3: struggled with postpartum depression or you're struggling mum, there is
Speaker 3: a new pill that is on its way and it
Speaker 3: might be just the thing to help you more amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff, all right. Next on the Pickup Around Australia,
Speaker 1: Welcome to Tuesday a HETEs the pick Up Tuesday AVO, Britt,
Speaker 1: Laura and Mitch. Thanks to Chemist Warehouse. Try the new fragrance.
Speaker 1: I've smelt it. It's good, guys, you always smell good.
Speaker 1: Thank you well' to DC ten Sport, one hundred mile
Speaker 1: by Dan Carter. I knew an exclusive to Chemist Warehouse
Speaker 1: for just forty nine to ninety nine.
Speaker 3: Now, if you are pregnant or if you are a mother,
Speaker 3: there is something that a lot of women experience, postnatal depression.
Speaker 3: It is something that no one wants to go through
Speaker 3: once they've had a child.
Speaker 4: Sometimes it creeps up on you.
Speaker 3: It's this like overwhelming feeling that can come with and
Speaker 3: after you have children. It is a depression. It can
Speaker 3: be affected by the one the lack of sleep, the hormones,
Speaker 3: the change of life. There's so many reasons as to
Speaker 3: why some women go through post natal depression.
Speaker 1: Even be like missing an old life or now your
Speaker 1: life has changed so much.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like it's one of those things
Speaker 3: where there's so many impacting reasons as to why some
Speaker 3: women go through this. But a big part of it
Speaker 3: is a hormone imbalance. That there is a flood of
Speaker 3: hormones that happen after giving birth. And I think we've
Speaker 3: also told this narrative that you know you're going to
Speaker 3: have a baby, and you're going to be so happy.
Speaker 4: It's going to fill this hole.
Speaker 3: It's going to be this wonderful, elating experience and for
Speaker 3: some women it really throws them into something that they
Speaker 3: would never have considered, which is this postnatal depression.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it is actually so common.
Speaker 2: Statistics say that one in five, so twenty percent in
Speaker 2: Australia are diagnosed with postnal depression. And that's diagnosed, there
Speaker 2: would be far more women that are experienced in it
Speaker 2: that aren't going and actually being diagnosed and don't.
Speaker 3: Even know necessarily what it is, why they feel so unhappy,
Speaker 3: why it is that they're not coping.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: The reason why I want to talk about this is
Speaker 3: because there's been some truly incredible and huge news that's
Speaker 3: come out. So in the States, there's been a drug
Speaker 3: that's been FDA approved. It is a pill that can
Speaker 3: be taken for postnatal depression. And the reason why this
Speaker 3: is so amazing and crazy is because it only takes
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks to work. So for some people
Speaker 3: it can work in as little as three days to
Speaker 3: balance out that hormone imbalance and to bring people feeling
Speaker 3: back to normal, Whereas currently in Australia, the type of
Speaker 3: treatment that exists for postnatal depression can take months to
Speaker 3: come into effect because women are put onto an antidepressant
Speaker 3: type script that takes time to work out you know
Speaker 3: what is working, what isn't working, and it's this like
Speaker 3: quite a long process, whereas something like this take a
Speaker 3: pill once a day for the space of two weeks
Speaker 3: and it solves postnatal depression.
Speaker 2: Well, I think a really big aversion for a lot
Speaker 2: of people to take in antidepressants is because you do
Speaker 2: have to be on a drug for so long, and
Speaker 2: there are a lot of women that are breastfeeding don't
Speaker 2: want to be on drugs. They don't want to be
Speaker 2: introducing that to life every day. I think more people
Speaker 2: would want to be taking this drug if if they knew, Okay,
Speaker 2: two weeks, I can do it, fourteen days, I can
Speaker 2: do it, I'll be cured.
Speaker 4: It's not long term done.
Speaker 3: But there's also so much stigma that surrounds it as well,
Speaker 3: like taking any deepressants in itself, although it shouldn't, there's
Speaker 3: a lot of stigma that surrounds that. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of stigma that surrounds having to admit that you're not
Speaker 3: coping as a new mum.
Speaker 1: Danny Ell onm thirteen one O six ' five, Hi,
Speaker 1: have you had a baby. Is this something you're going through?
Speaker 5: I have had a baby, and yeah, definitely went through
Speaker 5: the highs and lows of the hormonal changes and just
Speaker 5: not really knowing what to expect. So yeah, it was
Speaker 5: it was tough.
Speaker 4: What was the when?
Speaker 3: So were you experiencing postnatal depression at the time. Was
Speaker 3: it diagnosed for you or did you kind of just
Speaker 3: work through it yourself? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, I definitely wasn't diagnosed. I didn't seek help or anything,
Speaker 5: but it was just I think basically a few few
Speaker 5: days in milk came in and then I just went
Speaker 5: like a bit down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think comes crashing down.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, if I can ask, why didn't you want to
Speaker 2: go and be officially diagnosed or why didn't you want
Speaker 2: to seek help?
Speaker 5: To be honest, I wasn't really thinking about me. I
Speaker 5: was just like focused on my baby and making sure
Speaker 5: he was all right. But yeah, I just sort of
Speaker 5: took it one day at a time and not really
Speaker 5: knowing what day it was, but just yeah, not really
Speaker 5: focused on me.
Speaker 3: How long did it take you to get back to
Speaker 3: a point where you felt as though you were recovering.
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't even know, maybe like five six months, in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you knew you could take a pill for just
Speaker 2: two weeks, if that was available to you in Australia,
Speaker 2: would you do it?
Speaker 5: I would definitely explore that, you know, I'd touch base
Speaker 5: with my GP early on and you know, go, yeah, definitely.
Speaker 5: I think yeah, as you say, big game changer.
Speaker 2: But the idea of nipping it in the bud in
Speaker 2: just a two week process, I mean, I'm not a mom,
Speaker 2: but I imagine that would be something I'd be throwing my
Speaker 2: hand up, but I'd be like two weeks to get
Speaker 2: out of this hole and not to be taking drugs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to be a yes from me also.
Speaker 1: Speaks to like the treatment of women and actual mental
Speaker 1: health as a whole, Like the drugs and antidepressants are
Speaker 1: not a one size fits all solution, like they take
Speaker 1: weeks and your hormones are already in flux, like you said, Glaura,
Speaker 1: So adding more to that.
Speaker 3: To be wild and like going back to that whole idea,
Speaker 3: there is so much stigma that surrounds it and like
Speaker 3: you know, it's meant to be this beautiful time where
Speaker 3: you connect with your child and you're in this love bubble,
Speaker 3: and for some moms it is just not that, and
Speaker 3: then you feel like you're not living up to the
Speaker 3: expectations that.
Speaker 4: You should be.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, thanks Danielle. We're back after this. On
Speaker 1: the pickup. It is the pickup around Australia. Britt Laura
Speaker 1: and midch Tuesday afternoon or thanks to Chemist Warehouse, do
Speaker 1: yourself a favor. Heading today, great savings every day. I'm
Speaker 1: going to take everyone on a journey. Close your eyes,
Speaker 1: Brittin Laura, and I'm going to take you back to
Speaker 1: your childhood. You've got glad rap around your head from
Speaker 1: noggan to doggan.
Speaker 4: What childhood did you have?
Speaker 1: If you smell eucalyptus, you're sitting at the kitchen bench,
Speaker 1: Mama's behind you, tell me exactly what's going on right now.
Speaker 4: I'm definitely not getting a head massa now.
Speaker 1: It's knit treatment. Everyone's being through that, like you get
Speaker 1: knits at school. Mom goes, You're getting up here and
Speaker 1: I'm going to comb your hair with eucalyptus. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: wrap your inkling film and we're gonna watch the prices.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 2: I remember you have to wash all of the like
Speaker 2: you have to treat the lounge covers, the sheath everything,
Speaker 2: please human, and it's.
Speaker 1: The responsible thing to do, because you don't want these
Speaker 1: knits jumping from student to student. Then you've got an
Speaker 1: epidemic at the local Your.
Speaker 3: Holm is not even allowed to As soon as one
Speaker 3: kid at school gets knits, everyone's told and then everyone's
Speaker 3: doing knit treatments. You got the little brushy thing that
Speaker 3: zaps them on the way out.
Speaker 1: All right, well we're all in agreeance. What's your stance
Speaker 1: on this? And I see Mama's going viral. She's taking
Speaker 1: the opposite approach. She's posted to an online four I'm
Speaker 1: a mum's fouum we know how staunched the comments get
Speaker 1: in the mum's online forums. She said this, My seven
Speaker 1: year old daughter is best friends with the girl next door,
Speaker 1: our neighbor. The family is vegan. That's fine, we respect
Speaker 1: their choice. No problem there. My problem is that recently,
Speaker 1: this otherwise delightful child was at our house scratching her
Speaker 1: head furiously. I had a little peek and discovered she
Speaker 1: was crawling with head lice. She then brought it up
Speaker 1: to the girl's mom, the neighbor. The mom said she
Speaker 1: was fully aware of the knits, but didn't do anything
Speaker 1: because she didn't want to harm them, not the daughter.
Speaker 1: She said, I'm in the process of combing the lice
Speaker 1: and knits, but pushing them into the garden where they
Speaker 1: have the best chance of survival. Of survival. My jaw
Speaker 1: then hit the floor. What do I do? Do I
Speaker 1: separate my kid from her best friend? Do I knit
Speaker 1: treat her myself?
Speaker 4: You gotta move, you have to move. Wait, the knit's
Speaker 4: an hour in the garden. Now, the kid's kind of
Speaker 4: and playing the garden. What do you think they're going
Speaker 4: to do in the garden? I frog?
Speaker 1: Why what do you think laws you've got kids?
Speaker 4: This makes me furious. I have no problems with being vegan.
Speaker 3: I think that you can very healthily raise children on
Speaker 3: vegan diets all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 4: So please don't take that in this way.
Speaker 3: But that is to me, you are prioritizing the life
Speaker 3: of an insect over the well being of your own child,
Speaker 3: which feels incredibly neglectful.
Speaker 2: It's also like they're really selfish because every other kid
Speaker 2: that they come in contact with is then going to
Speaker 2: get the last Yeah.
Speaker 3: But also like, no kids are going to want to
Speaker 3: play with the kid that's got knits at school, Like
Speaker 3: it's the I actually kind.
Speaker 4: Of believe this is real.
Speaker 3: Like I cannot believe that there is any parent that
Speaker 3: would prioritize and insects life over the well being of
Speaker 3: their child.
Speaker 4: That to me makes me feel enraged.
Speaker 3: Not only would I be giving the kids some live's
Speaker 3: treatment when she was at my house, I'd be keeping
Speaker 3: a very close eye on it to make sure that
Speaker 3: that child has actually been taken care of.
Speaker 5: All.
Speaker 1: You can't invite kids over fairy bread party at our house.
Speaker 3: The kids kit them all down and you get the
Speaker 3: little life's comb and you pretend like you're doing hairdressers
Speaker 3: and your de lice your neighbor's kids.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you could do that.
Speaker 1: You can't touch other people's.
Speaker 3: Kids, you're just on there. You can brush another kid's hair.
Speaker 3: Imagine this kid, this kid is going to be a
Speaker 3: little knit kid at school. No one's going to want
Speaker 3: to play with her exact, no one's going to spend
Speaker 3: time with her. Imagine calling up like Docks or some
Speaker 3: sort of child protection services and being like, there's a
Speaker 3: kid who has knits and their parents will do nothing
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 4: Is that dogs worthy?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I'm getting a bit angry
Speaker 3: about it. You probably don't need to call docks. So
Speaker 3: I definitely would be sending kid to Laura house.
Speaker 4: Send them to me and I will take those.
Speaker 1: Worried about that garden. Those veggies are going to be
Speaker 1: crawling with knits.
Speaker 4: Because they probably they're probably they grow.
Speaker 1: Their own food. Of course they're living off lands.
Speaker 3: I think those knits are going to suffer in the
Speaker 3: garden and they're going to die really long death because
Speaker 3: there's nothing for them to attach to.
Speaker 4: They don't live in the soil. I think of the nits.
Speaker 3: I could never be speak of the knits and put
Speaker 3: them down quickly, changed quickly, Please think of the nicks.
Speaker 2: Speaking of kids, Actually, today is the day one of
Speaker 2: life fertility journey. I'm taking you on the wild ride.
Speaker 2: That is Brittany freezing her eggs. Well, lucky, you're not
Speaker 2: freezing any knits. No, that's definitely talking about it's been
Speaker 2: harvested from my insides.
Speaker 1: Why you smell ridicular? All right? That's next on the pickup.
Speaker 1: It is the pickup Tuesday. Are Vo, britt Laura and
Speaker 1: Mitch try the new fragrance DC ten Sport one hundred,
Speaker 1: Mel by Dan Carter, new and exclusive to Chemist Warehouse
Speaker 1: for just forty nine to ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Now, Mitch, I have seen you eyeing off my lunch
Speaker 2: box over here.
Speaker 4: I've got a little freezer bag.
Speaker 2: I hate to disappoint you, there is no food in.
Speaker 4: This, so back off this peckish.
Speaker 2: These guys are my fertility drugs. Today's day two.
Speaker 4: Of my fertility treatment. Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I've been telling you guys for the last
Speaker 2: couple of weeks that this was happening, that I'm going
Speaker 2: down the journey of freezing my eggs because I'm thirty
Speaker 2: six years old and I do not have kids yet.
Speaker 4: I do not know when that's going to.
Speaker 2: Happen, and we're all hyper aware that women do have
Speaker 2: a biological clock. So I froze eggs like three years ago.
Speaker 2: But you know, I guess I probably thought I might
Speaker 2: have a kid by now, and I don't. So three
Speaker 2: years goes past. I'm doing it again. So this is
Speaker 2: my bring it to work fertility drugs.
Speaker 3: What was the when you say, you know, thirty six,
Speaker 3: you've done it once before, Like, what was the catalyst
Speaker 3: that made you want to do a second round? Did
Speaker 3: you get enough eggs in the first round, like, what
Speaker 3: what's changed? I got fifteen eggs the first time, which
Speaker 3: sounds like a lot. And if there's any women out
Speaker 3: there driving that have done this, you know that fifteen
Speaker 3: whilst it sounds a lot, it's not actually, and my
Speaker 3: fertility specialist tried, they can't tell one hundred percent, but
Speaker 3: she said, basically, I would tell you that that might
Speaker 3: turn into one child. Fifteen eggs turns into one because
Speaker 3: you freeze them, only half survived the defrosting process, and
Speaker 3: then only half of those are viable, and then statistically,
Speaker 3: speaking of the couple that are left, only one might take.
Speaker 3: So fifteen sounds great. Some people go in and get
Speaker 3: thirty plus some people only get a couple, so it's
Speaker 3: different for everyone. For me, I was happy with fifteen,
Speaker 3: but it does mean it.
Speaker 2: Might own one child, and if I know I might
Speaker 2: want more than one child, you have to do it again.
Speaker 2: And it's just giving me more options. It's taking the
Speaker 2: stress away because it is something you think about all
Speaker 2: the time. Is what if the time comes and the
Speaker 2: fifteen eggs I have, that's one shot. What if that
Speaker 2: one shot doesn't take and then I'm back to nothing?
Speaker 3: But your boyfriend Ben. He's overseas. He lives overseas. What's
Speaker 3: it been like this time during this process and you're
Speaker 3: in the midst of doing it on your own.
Speaker 2: Here I was actually I didn't really think about it
Speaker 2: until now and I started, and I got really sad.
Speaker 2: To be honest, I've been on my own so long,
Speaker 2: like the better past of ten years, and I'm so independent.
Speaker 2: I'm okay doing stuff on my own because it's the
Speaker 2: life that I know. But something like this, it hits
Speaker 2: different because we're in love and we're doing this so
Speaker 2: that we can have kids, and it's not just me
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about now, it's somebody else. And I didn't
Speaker 2: really take.
Speaker 4: His feelings into account.
Speaker 2: But he messages me this morning and because I'm on
Speaker 2: day two and you start to get the hormonal headaches
Speaker 2: because you're just pumping horn injections. I mean, look at
Speaker 2: how many drugs there are. There are so many drugs,
Speaker 2: it's multiple injections. And he just messaged me and he said,
Speaker 2: I wish I was there, but thank you so much
Speaker 2: for doing this for us. And I didn't really think
Speaker 2: about it being for us until now. I almost was
Speaker 2: quite selfish, thinking this I'm doing this at the moment for.
Speaker 4: Me is my body going through it.
Speaker 2: But whilst his body is nothing's happening to him, this
Speaker 2: is still affecting him. And he looks at this like
Speaker 2: I'm doing this for our future, which I am exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean like, you're not able to have a kid now,
Speaker 3: you're not in the same country as each other, you're
Speaker 3: not living with each other. But it's like this is
Speaker 3: kind of safeguarding against what the future might hold. So
Speaker 3: two weeks and two weeks and then they'll harvest the leggies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, two weeks and then they.
Speaker 1: Do have a surgery.
Speaker 4: Oh, you go under a GA. You don't have to.
Speaker 4: You can have a local anesthetic.
Speaker 2: But that's literally a big needle that goes inside your
Speaker 2: vagina into your cervix and they like anthetize the area
Speaker 2: from the inside.
Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, just knock me out.
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't want to know what you're doing,
Speaker 4: just do it.
Speaker 2: Me up. When you've gone to the corner store and
Speaker 2: you've got a dozen eggs, like, yeah, I'm good for
Speaker 2: that one. But you do blood tests along the way
Speaker 2: and some ultrasounds along the way, make sure all the
Speaker 2: eggs inside and the follicles are growing how they're supposed
Speaker 2: to be. It's really science is amazing. And then when
Speaker 2: it's d Day, they go in, they harvest and they
Speaker 2: freeze these bad boys.
Speaker 3: Well, I just think I think it's so great that
Speaker 3: you are so willing to talk about it as well,
Speaker 3: because I think that there's so much mystery that surrounds
Speaker 3: egg freezing. And I know it's something that a lot
Speaker 3: of women consider or they think about, or it's you know,
Speaker 3: you know it's there as an option, but hearing someone
Speaker 3: talk about what the process is actually like, and also
Speaker 3: like reinforcing this idea that at least knowing what's happening
Speaker 3: in your body, at least safeguarding yourself so that you
Speaker 3: have the opportunity of choice in the future is such
Speaker 3: an important thing to do for your own fertility and
Speaker 3: also for your own peace of mind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it still worries me.
Speaker 2: I get so many people message me saying how scared
Speaker 2: they are to go down it. They really want you,
Speaker 2: they wanted to do it for years. They've got anxiety.
Speaker 2: And there's another level too that I think women aren't
Speaker 2: talking about because they feel like it's a sense of failure,
Speaker 2: like their body is not working for them or society.
Speaker 2: So they should have had kids and been married five
Speaker 2: years ago, but they're not. So they're embarrassed to say, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm freezing my eggs.
Speaker 4: But that's why I want to talk about it. I
Speaker 4: want to take you all on the journey. It's going
Speaker 4: to be hormonal fun.
Speaker 1: We love your breeding. We're proud of you. I love you,
Speaker 1: love you. Be sure there's not a little snack in
Speaker 1: that lunch box of the.
Speaker 4: B I'll bring you on tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got a little bit of room in there,
Speaker 1: like a something.
Speaker 3: Just a couple of needles to stubb you in the belly.
Speaker 1: That's right, I've done worst. All right, let's get out
Speaker 1: of here. We're done.
