1
00:00:10,669 --> 00:00:14,869
Speaker 1: My hard podcasts, hear more Kiss podcasts, playlists, and listen

2
00:00:14,909 --> 00:00:16,468
Speaker 1: live on the Free I heard.

3
00:00:19,509 --> 00:00:21,308
Speaker 2: Jims you.

4
00:00:23,069 --> 00:00:27,629
Speaker 3: Good afternoon everyone, Hope you having a great Friday. Woods

5
00:00:27,629 --> 00:00:33,068
Speaker 3: wore a twelve kilo weighted pregnancy belly for five days

6
00:00:33,108 --> 00:00:36,668
Speaker 3: this week, Woods, to try and really empathize with your partner, Mim,

7
00:00:36,709 --> 00:00:38,668
Speaker 3: who is twenty twenty five weeks pregnant.

8
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:39,109
Speaker 2: That's it.

9
00:00:39,189 --> 00:00:43,708
Speaker 1: Yep, she's excuse me, I'm absolutely gassed, but yeah, she's

10
00:00:43,709 --> 00:00:47,549
Speaker 1: twenty three weeks pregnant. And I guess this all started

11
00:00:47,828 --> 00:00:51,029
Speaker 1: with Mim just had my wife just had a really

12
00:00:51,069 --> 00:00:54,868
Speaker 1: tough week of pregnancy. And you know, you're naturally as

13
00:00:54,869 --> 00:00:57,229
Speaker 1: the partner, you're doing what you can to support and

14
00:00:57,469 --> 00:00:59,548
Speaker 1: because this is our we've already got a little girl

15
00:00:59,589 --> 00:01:01,509
Speaker 1: called Remy, so a lot of that was just looking

16
00:01:01,549 --> 00:01:03,549
Speaker 1: after Remy to help Mim out.

17
00:01:04,349 --> 00:01:05,829
Speaker 4: But yeah, this particularly tough week.

18
00:01:06,429 --> 00:01:09,069
Speaker 1: And then a caller called the show and just said, hey,

19
00:01:09,109 --> 00:01:11,669
Speaker 1: why don't you wear a fake preggy belly for a

20
00:01:11,709 --> 00:01:13,589
Speaker 1: week just to better understand it, And then I reckon,

21
00:01:13,669 --> 00:01:16,549
Speaker 1: you'll be a better support. Yeah, so enter this week

22
00:01:17,309 --> 00:01:20,029
Speaker 1: all the preggy belly and fully appreciating by the way

23
00:01:20,029 --> 00:01:22,709
Speaker 1: that this is this is only five percent of what pregnancy.

24
00:01:23,109 --> 00:01:23,629
Speaker 2: There's so much.

25
00:01:23,949 --> 00:01:25,629
Speaker 3: A lot of the comments have been like, oh, this

26
00:01:25,669 --> 00:01:27,429
Speaker 3: is what it is. We know that's not what it is.

27
00:01:27,469 --> 00:01:29,029
Speaker 3: I think it was more just an attempt to try

28
00:01:29,109 --> 00:01:30,829
Speaker 3: and understand more what it is.

29
00:01:30,949 --> 00:01:33,029
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's better to make some effort than.

30
00:01:34,189 --> 00:01:36,389
Speaker 4: Exactly And I'd say the learnings from that would be.

31
00:01:37,109 --> 00:01:39,309
Speaker 2: What are the biggest take homes for you?

32
00:01:39,509 --> 00:01:41,469
Speaker 1: So I said this to you before, but for me,

33
00:01:41,829 --> 00:01:43,189
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, I feel like I was

34
00:01:43,189 --> 00:01:46,149
Speaker 1: going into the week trying to figure out what movements

35
00:01:46,309 --> 00:01:50,829
Speaker 1: and what tasks are hardest when you're pregnant. But again,

36
00:01:50,869 --> 00:01:53,229
Speaker 1: the overwhelming sentiment from the week, and I learned this

37
00:01:53,229 --> 00:01:53,869
Speaker 1: pretty early in.

38
00:01:53,869 --> 00:01:56,349
Speaker 4: The week, it's just that everything is worse.

39
00:01:56,869 --> 00:02:00,069
Speaker 1: So it's not even like even sitting on the couch right,

40
00:02:00,229 --> 00:02:02,709
Speaker 1: Like I've probably been guilty in the past of like

41
00:02:02,789 --> 00:02:05,109
Speaker 1: if I'm lying on the couch with him and you know,

42
00:02:05,149 --> 00:02:06,869
Speaker 1: watching a movie or whatever, it's like, this is great,

43
00:02:06,909 --> 00:02:08,828
Speaker 1: you know, this is ultimate relaxation for you. But I

44
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:10,789
Speaker 1: found this week trying to lie on the coutch with

45
00:02:10,829 --> 00:02:14,109
Speaker 1: a twelve kilo belly on it actually wasn't comfortable at all, and.

46
00:02:14,788 --> 00:02:16,389
Speaker 2: You kept saying that you can't get.

47
00:02:16,228 --> 00:02:18,469
Speaker 1: Comfortable no, right, and then you know that's what you

48
00:02:18,549 --> 00:02:21,149
Speaker 1: hear from pregnant people all the time, right, So so

49
00:02:21,229 --> 00:02:23,309
Speaker 1: I think you know that a takeaway can be like

50
00:02:23,389 --> 00:02:26,349
Speaker 1: me thinking that just have the line on the country

51
00:02:26,349 --> 00:02:28,229
Speaker 1: there is you know, that's that's the way of support

52
00:02:28,269 --> 00:02:30,829
Speaker 1: and say nah, let's like get into a position.

53
00:02:30,469 --> 00:02:31,829
Speaker 4: Where I'm taking the weight of the belly.

54
00:02:31,829 --> 00:02:34,509
Speaker 1: Maybe you know, because the other thing is, you know,

55
00:02:34,709 --> 00:02:38,149
Speaker 1: men feels bad asking for help sometimes. Yeah, yeah as well,

56
00:02:38,349 --> 00:02:39,909
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm sure there be other women that

57
00:02:39,909 --> 00:02:41,189
Speaker 1: are pregnant that made me feel that way.

58
00:02:41,349 --> 00:02:43,909
Speaker 4: It's just don't feel that, I don't know.

59
00:02:43,949 --> 00:02:46,189
Speaker 1: Why you feel that way guilty asking for help or

60
00:02:46,309 --> 00:02:47,508
Speaker 1: you know, you don't mean you don't have to ask

61
00:02:47,549 --> 00:02:50,189
Speaker 1: for help, right, yeah, you know, So that that's a

62
00:02:50,189 --> 00:02:52,309
Speaker 1: big takeaway that every single thing is everything.

63
00:02:53,069 --> 00:02:54,228
Speaker 4: Everything's it took.

64
00:02:54,069 --> 00:02:55,989
Speaker 3: Away all the things you love, like it really did,

65
00:02:56,069 --> 00:02:58,869
Speaker 3: Like it took away your exercise, took away because you

66
00:02:59,029 --> 00:03:04,309
Speaker 3: ate a pregnant per a pregnant woman's eating regime as well.

67
00:03:04,429 --> 00:03:07,829
Speaker 3: So that we had a dietitian come on, a fertility specialist,

68
00:03:07,949 --> 00:03:09,829
Speaker 3: and she basically he said, you can't have I mean

69
00:03:09,909 --> 00:03:11,789
Speaker 3: lots of the things that you loved to get sandwich,

70
00:03:11,789 --> 00:03:15,029
Speaker 3: to get eggs, you get coffee, to get literally your diet.

71
00:03:15,109 --> 00:03:17,269
Speaker 1: Yeah, it couldn't go bike riding. Like obviously bike riding

72
00:03:17,309 --> 00:03:19,029
Speaker 1: is like you're just funny for your mental health as well.

73
00:03:19,069 --> 00:03:20,629
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, getting out on a bike is

74
00:03:20,669 --> 00:03:21,869
Speaker 1: so important for me to.

75
00:03:22,829 --> 00:03:23,749
Speaker 2: General right this.

76
00:03:23,869 --> 00:03:25,029
Speaker 4: I did this for five days.

77
00:03:25,109 --> 00:03:27,869
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a small amount of time, but still

78
00:03:27,989 --> 00:03:30,309
Speaker 1: in this moment now, I'm like, think about what a

79
00:03:30,349 --> 00:03:33,349
Speaker 1: pregnant woman is sacrificing as part of her lifestyle over

80
00:03:33,389 --> 00:03:34,869
Speaker 1: a forty week period.

81
00:03:35,069 --> 00:03:36,869
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's total madness.

82
00:03:36,909 --> 00:03:38,789
Speaker 1: And then you know, talking about the labor then, like

83
00:03:38,829 --> 00:03:43,909
Speaker 1: I had five hours of only experiencing like imitated contractions. There,

84
00:03:44,389 --> 00:03:46,909
Speaker 1: I haven't then delivered a baby after. And also I'm

85
00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:49,389
Speaker 1: not now needing to breastfeed straight away.

86
00:03:49,389 --> 00:03:52,349
Speaker 3: You didn't in birth for percenta there was no sort

87
00:03:52,389 --> 00:03:54,949
Speaker 3: of you know, ripping or tearing that was going on. Yeah,

88
00:03:54,989 --> 00:03:56,789
Speaker 3: you don't have to learn now learn how to breastfeed

89
00:03:56,829 --> 00:03:58,349
Speaker 3: whilst exhausted.

90
00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:59,629
Speaker 1: Because straight into that, do you know what I mean,

91
00:03:59,669 --> 00:04:01,669
Speaker 1: It's not like it, you know, you have forty weeks

92
00:04:01,669 --> 00:04:04,229
Speaker 1: of pregnancy. Then you go straight into a birthing speed,

93
00:04:04,269 --> 00:04:05,269
Speaker 1: which can be really intense.

94
00:04:05,349 --> 00:04:05,669
Speaker 2: And that's it.

95
00:04:05,869 --> 00:04:07,469
Speaker 3: I was going to say, there's if there's trauma after

96
00:04:07,469 --> 00:04:09,629
Speaker 3: the birthing, salt your own mental health to think about

97
00:04:09,669 --> 00:04:12,349
Speaker 3: our rights as well. Then it's like keep postnatal depression,

98
00:04:12,429 --> 00:04:13,389
Speaker 3: throw that in there.

99
00:04:13,269 --> 00:04:15,229
Speaker 1: And then you go like, but breastfeed now and keep

100
00:04:15,269 --> 00:04:17,628
Speaker 1: this baby alive and look after this baby. So I think,

101
00:04:17,669 --> 00:04:20,428
Speaker 1: you know, I not that I didn't have like the

102
00:04:20,509 --> 00:04:22,789
Speaker 1: utmost respect and love for my partner for doing this,

103
00:04:22,909 --> 00:04:26,029
Speaker 1: but it definitely has increased even more. And I think

104
00:04:26,389 --> 00:04:28,829
Speaker 1: a good thing to remind ourselves moving forward is that

105
00:04:30,669 --> 00:04:34,029
Speaker 1: of the woman in your life who has brought a

106
00:04:34,069 --> 00:04:36,109
Speaker 1: baby into the world. And I'm sure that you love

107
00:04:36,149 --> 00:04:40,109
Speaker 1: that thing more than anything. Just remember the huge sacrifice

108
00:04:40,149 --> 00:04:41,909
Speaker 1: and what they have gone through to bring you.

109
00:04:41,988 --> 00:04:44,949
Speaker 4: What is I think the greatest gift you can give someone,

110
00:04:45,069 --> 00:04:45,469
Speaker 4: which is.

111
00:04:45,389 --> 00:04:47,389
Speaker 3: A child here here, man, you gave is a great

112
00:04:47,429 --> 00:04:49,709
Speaker 3: gift before though would giving birth.

113
00:04:49,869 --> 00:04:53,389
Speaker 2: Live in the studio listening to this final contractions, here

114
00:04:53,389 --> 00:04:55,229
Speaker 2: we go, just push this in the last ones.

115
00:04:56,149 --> 00:04:59,269
Speaker 4: You've got this, You've got it.

116
00:05:00,029 --> 00:05:00,229
Speaker 3: Come.

117
00:05:01,309 --> 00:05:02,589
Speaker 2: The baby's got me out.

118
00:05:02,988 --> 00:05:11,709
Speaker 5: I mean, I can say it oh my gosh, can

119
00:05:11,789 --> 00:05:28,469
Speaker 5: we call you.

120
00:05:20,389 --> 00:05:23,508
Speaker 2: No, it's not twins, Oh you free falseal.

121
00:05:25,069 --> 00:05:26,589
Speaker 4: When I was saying give it to me, I was

122
00:05:26,589 --> 00:05:27,269
Speaker 4: saying give me the.

123
00:05:29,549 --> 00:05:30,349
Speaker 2: It was strange though.

124
00:05:30,389 --> 00:05:32,909
Speaker 3: You are rigged up to a birth simulator, and I

125
00:05:32,949 --> 00:05:34,549
Speaker 3: do I know you love pain. We had the Angel

126
00:05:34,549 --> 00:05:36,789
Speaker 3: of Death junior producing analytes who had been controlling the

127
00:05:36,829 --> 00:05:39,509
Speaker 3: contractions all day for you. Across the course of five hours, AB,

128
00:05:39,669 --> 00:05:40,909
Speaker 3: I think you love that a bit too much.

129
00:05:41,469 --> 00:05:45,149
Speaker 2: It was enjoyable a bit you did like it, didn't you?

130
00:05:45,229 --> 00:05:48,949
Speaker 2: It was not Yeah, we had to me.

131
00:05:49,109 --> 00:05:50,909
Speaker 4: She had to stay within a meter of me for

132
00:05:50,949 --> 00:05:51,829
Speaker 4: the last five hours.

133
00:05:51,869 --> 00:05:53,269
Speaker 1: There was one moment where I went to go on

134
00:05:53,269 --> 00:05:55,709
Speaker 1: across the road and she didn't cross the road and

135
00:05:55,789 --> 00:05:56,189
Speaker 1: she had.

136
00:05:56,109 --> 00:05:57,309
Speaker 2: To tail me very quickly.

137
00:05:57,629 --> 00:05:59,949
Speaker 4: That's quite dangerous. But it's been a lovely day with you.

138
00:05:59,988 --> 00:06:00,188
Speaker 2: AB.

139
00:06:01,189 --> 00:06:03,709
Speaker 3: Now I think we maybe as a final gesture from Abe,

140
00:06:03,829 --> 00:06:05,389
Speaker 3: given she's put you in so much pain, she's going

141
00:06:05,429 --> 00:06:07,068
Speaker 3: to be the one to relieve you of the twelve

142
00:06:07,149 --> 00:06:10,949
Speaker 3: kilobilly which you've been strapped to all this week.

143
00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:12,829
Speaker 2: It's got to stick, Analyst, get over there, mate.

144
00:06:12,988 --> 00:06:14,709
Speaker 3: He hasn't shower, he hasn't been able to shower all

145
00:06:14,789 --> 00:06:17,589
Speaker 3: week because he's been in this belly is a concern

146
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:19,629
Speaker 3: I think over the state of his skin.

147
00:06:19,829 --> 00:06:20,949
Speaker 2: Or one strap.

148
00:06:21,229 --> 00:06:21,669
Speaker 5: You just do.

149
00:06:21,789 --> 00:06:24,789
Speaker 3: It's a career as a dominatrix somewhere for you, Anily,

150
00:06:24,988 --> 00:06:25,589
Speaker 3: I swear to God.

151
00:06:26,589 --> 00:06:27,868
Speaker 2: But she just loves this stuff.

152
00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:28,829
Speaker 3: She loves it.

153
00:06:29,349 --> 00:06:36,829
Speaker 2: Look at the masochistic person. Don't do this? What is

154
00:06:36,909 --> 00:06:39,229
Speaker 2: she doing? And take it off? Mate? There we go.

155
00:06:39,789 --> 00:06:45,828
Speaker 2: Oh it's off, it's off. Look at that sweet sweet?

156
00:06:46,469 --> 00:06:46,949
Speaker 3: How is this?

157
00:06:48,149 --> 00:06:50,069
Speaker 4: You just can't imagine how good that feels.

158
00:06:51,069 --> 00:06:51,629
Speaker 2: Isn't that good?

159
00:06:51,629 --> 00:06:52,669
Speaker 4: I feel like I'm on the moon.
