Dr Amanda Ward is an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Long time listeners will know that she was the Obstetrician for both Steph when she had Harvey & Billie, and Laura with Atlas.
We asked Amanda to come on an episode of KICBump but you guys sent in sooo many questions that we decided to do a second episode for the KICPod feed!
In this episode, Amanda speaks about conceiving, finding the right OB, when to start looking for an OB, the difference between giving birth in public and private hospitals in Australia, the rise of free births, and more!
If you want to hear more from Amanda, check out our episode in the KICBump feed:

Dr Jacqueline Coombe is a Senior Research Fellow in the Sexual Health Unit at the University of Melbourne. Jacqui has been working within the sexual and reproductive health space for nearly a decade and she completed her PhD in long-acting reversible contraception.
In this episode, Jacqui sits down with Steph to talk through all of the different contraceptive options in Australia - the Pill, IUD, Implanon, vaginal ring, hormonal injection and condoms, as well as vasectomies, the ‘morning after’ pill and the pull out method.
Jacqui explains the efficacy and potential side-effects of each method, why some people choose certain methods over others, the process of getting an IUD inserted, and the questions you should ask your GP or healthcare provider beforehand.
