  • Loveee this pod!!!!

    This podcast hits differently, so authentic and unfiltered. I find myself laughing, nodding along, and thinking, ‘Yes! Exactly!’ It’s lovely to find something so real, relatable, and actually funny all at once. Every episode leaves me feeling a little lighter and reminded that we’re all figuring this parenting thing out together.

  • Just like listening to a mate

    I went to school with Leonie and I tell you, she has just as much spunk as ever. Particularly her solo eps put a smile on my face. For those looking for something more serious she certainly touches on that too by getting experts in. I work in family law and have stumbled upon excellent resources for my client’s by simply just listening. Definitely worth putting on the podcast rotation for the serious and fun stuff!

Dr Joseph Sgroi on fertility, labour, birth & beyond, your questions answered
Q: What is your view on induction and its role in modern obstetric care?
Induction is a safe, evidence-based option used to manage pregnancy at risk, with benefits like aligning timing and reducing NICU admissions; it should be explained clearly, with the patient empowered to make informed choices.
Dr Joseph Sgroi on fertility, labour, birth & beyond, your questions answered
Q: What should a nervous pregnant person focus on to feel more prepared?
Limit exposure to fear-inducing social media, rely on trusted healthcare providers for education, attend hospital birth classes, ask questions, and retain a sense of trust in the care team to support a positive birth experience.
Dr Joseph Sgroi on fertility, labour, birth & beyond, your questions answered
Q: Is a birth plan worth having?
Birth plans can be too rigid; it's better to prepare by understanding the full range of possibilities, stay informed about potential variations, and approach birth with flexibility to reduce anxiety if things don't go exactly as planned.
