Welcome to episode five of The Mother Yarns!
We take on all of the myths you hear as a mum. We talk about what we did and didn’t know before having a baby.
We also ask: What works? What doesn’t? We talk about old wives’ tales, the golden era of amber beads, osteopaths for sleep and colic, and cabbage leaves - with many other tangents.
Content warning: In this pod we go on a weird tangent where we talk about our experiences birthing our placentas (gravity helps apparently), cord clamping, short cords, ventouse suction, and episiotomy.
Our episodes are sent to paid subscribers on Wednesdays and to everyone else on Fridays. On Fridays you can find them on Spotify and other podcasty places. Our episodes are sent in separate emails because that’s how Substack rolls!
We end this episode with one of my favourite songs right now Carry On by Mel Parsons. Listen to it on Spotify and watch the gorgeous video on Mel’s instagram.
