Welcome to Hello, Bump, a podcast about what you’re not expecting when you’re expecting.
In this episode, hosts Jana Pittman and Grace Rouvray help you navigate finding out you’re pregnant, which often happens after a missed period around the four-week mark.
They’ll walk you through the physical changes, emotional ups and downs and give you practical tips on what you can do at this point in the pregnancy.

Mum guilt—it's something most of us have heard about. But what about Dad guilt? Does it exist?
Annaliese and Tegan take a deep dive into their own experiences with Mum guilt, exploring where it stems from. To get the Dad perspective, they brought back resident dad Thom Lion to share whether dads feel the same weight of guilt.
Plus, a few of Mamamia's own dads shared their honest take... The results might surprise you and definitely give you something to think about.

A mum with a birth plan, and a baby with a very different idea…

Michelle Battersby’s birth was long, her baby got stuck and she was forced to pivot to a birth she had never considered.

The entrepreneur, marketing guru & founder of Sunroom shared her diary of a birth.

Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world, and we have all medical questions and concerns cleared up by one of Australia’s favourite paediatricians, Dr Golly.

If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here.
