  • Giving Glucose Goddess a Platform

    Disappointed to see the glucose goddess being given a platform - she has been disproven countless times by medical professionals and continues to spread misinformation with no clinical evidence. The podcast on the whole also relies too heavily on holistic approaches and shuns medical advice. Too biased for me.

  • So real and comforting and relatable

    When I found out I was pregnant I was hearing so much negativity around pregnancy and birth I literally typed “positive pregnancy podcast” into the search bar for podcasts and Pop That Mumma popped up! I couldn’t be happier to have found Poppy. I feel like she is a best friend after listening to her podcast. She is so real, raw, relatable, knowledgeable and hilarious. I feel so much more at ease about pregnancy birth and motherhood after listening to all of her podcasts. I listened to every epi... more

  • Down to earth and helpful.

    Like a breath of fresh air - which is really nice after digging through shows that are either doom and gloom, or just fake it until you make it. I feel like Poppy is super helpful but also relatable in a way that’s inspiring for us moms that we can do it too.

  • The best podcast for prenatal and postnatal

    I love this podcast, I started to listen it more than 1 year ago when I was pregnant in 2023 and still listening to Poppy as she is so passionate, authentic and honest about birth and motherhood. Thanks to her podcast and her hypnobirthing course I had my natural homebirth, no tearing and unmedicated.

    For me Poppy is a friend that motivate me and reassure me.

    Thank you Poppy, you are inspiring!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why The Birth Plan Isn't Enough: What Real Birth Preparation Actually Looks Like
Q: What did you learn from your own birth experience and how did it shape your approach?
Sally explains that despite careful planning, the most important takeaway is how to communicate with care providers, and that birth is as much about how you feel as the specific medical choices; this shaped her emphasis on inner work and honest dialogue with supporters.
How To Advocate For Yourself During Pregnancy And Birth with Katie Jensen
Q: What can a birth partner do to support advocacy in the moment?
Speak up for the birthing person when needed, suggest taking a short break or a walk, and help keep the focus on the birth plan and non-confrontational language.
How To Advocate For Yourself During Pregnancy And Birth with Katie Jensen
Q: How do we start practicing advocacy early in the pregnancy journey?
Start by birth prepping early, clarify what 'birth safe' means for you, and build a plan with your birth team that reflects your values and choices.
How to Speed Up Labour Naturally with Midwife Beth
Q: How does one speed up labor? Should we even be trying to speed up labor? Is it actually possible?
The guest explains there are three angles: addressing blockages or things slowing labor (hypnobirthing approach), ensuring the baby is in the most favorable biomechanical position (biomechanics), and understanding uterine activity and energy needs. She emphasizes enhancing oxytocin by reducing fear and maintaining a calm environment, considering that rapid acceleration often comes from removing barriers rather than forcing contractions. Interventions like breaking waters or hormone drips are usually considered within an augmentation plan and do not inherently shorten labor.
Why Present Parenting Feels So Hard with Charlotte Mindel
Q: What services do you offer and how might this help a pregnant woman or mother?
Charlotte describes a full month program called the Embodied Mother, plus an upcoming online therapeutic community. These offerings focus on helping mothers come into themselves, heal their relationship with themselves, and learn to listen to their bodies. The programs include one-to-one support, a resource library, WhatsApp support, and fortnightly group somatic work, all designed to help mothers be more present and anchored.
