  • So genuine and comforting to listen to

    This is my favourite podcast. I really look forward to listening every week. I’m in a very similar stage of life with my children being similar ages. I had my second bub two months before the hosts so I am finding the content right now so relatable and comforting to listen to. I often catch myself smiling and nodding along. It’s so reassuring to hear honest perspectives of motherhood, and definitely makes me feel less alone sometimes.

  • Easy and educational listening!

    I have been a glimmer girl listener for 3 years. I originally found the pod when I was trying to conceive and I found Beth to be informative and easy to listen to. Fast forward and I now have two boys (a 2 yr old and a 3 mth old) and I love how the pod has grown with Lil coming on board. I love the candid chats with the girls, the birth stories and the advice along the way. It really is like listening and giggling along with your girlfriends. Highly recommend to anyone in the TTC, pregnancy, pos... more

  • Enjoy it

    I enjoy the podcast although recently finding the content focus on hosts pregnancy and births a bit repetitive and hoping it can become a bit more diverse and interesting once this phase moves on.

E103: Bodywork - The Ultimate Labour Hack With Gab Lorri
Q: When is the right time in their pregnancy journey to begin focusing on bodywork?
It is best to start focusing on bodywork when your body begins to indicate it needs assistance, especially if there's pain or discomfort. Further focus on baby positioning can begin around 34 weeks.
E103: Bodywork - The Ultimate Labour Hack With Gab Lorri
Q: Why is tension and softening so relevant for the way that a labour can progress and a baby can descend?
Tension in the body can make it harder for the baby to descend during labour, leading to a longer and more painful experience. Softening the tissues allows easier movement, reducing intensity and duration of contractions.
E101: Life with Two Kids - One Year On
Q: Would you have advice for Beth pregnant with Alfie and/or advice for someone listening at home, pregnant with their second child with a similar age or toddler?
Focus on your relationship and give it some TLC before the new baby arrives, as maintaining a strong partnership is crucial during the transition.
