Bump to Birth Podcast

This week we have cooked up a big one for you! We are discussing all about Gestational Diabetes, what it actually is, the risks, what it may mean for you and your baby's care. Of course we are also chatting about how it's diagnosed (cue the dreaded Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. Ha!)

Our podcast is aimed at educating you with all the information about pregnancy, birth and into the fourth trimester. We sometimes find it's not always convenient to sit down and read through or participate in birth education at set times. Our podcast will provide you with all the good information that you can listen to in your own time and at your own pace. Happy Listening!
