Zoe & Georgia on Managing Pre-Teens, Festive Fatigue & Health Anxieties

This week on Made by Mammas, Georgia Habboo joins us for an honest, funny and heartfelt chat about the road to motherhood. She talks us through Bella’s arrival, from the build-up to those first overwhelming days and why we should celebrate those first 12 weeks of pregnancy, not shy away from it! We also get stuck into the reality of sleep deprivation: the 3am feeds and what nobody warns you about. And stick to the end of the episode if you haven't heard about HIFU!

For our second World Mental Health Day episode, Dr Debbie Raphael M.D joins Georgia to answer your questions about mental health in motherhood. She is an adult and child psychiatrist and a parent herself. We discuss mum rage: what's behind it, why so many of us feel it, and what to do when it bubbles up - why small daily rituals can help steady you and your family, and also makes the case for treating parenting a bit more like a job, with boundaries, breaks and realistic expectations, and why that can take some of the pressure off. Debbie's Recommendations: Parents Under Pressure Debbie's Book 'Carry My Strength: A Parents Guide To Growing And Thriving Alongside Your Child' is available to pre-order now.

**Trigger Warning** In today's episode we discuss suicide openly and frankly. Please do come back or listen to another episode if you feel this will be too much for you right now. This episode is part of our World Mental Health Day series. We speak with mental health advocate Jade Lloyd who developed postpartum psychosis, a rare but serious mental illness that can start suddenly after giving birth. Jade talks openly about what happened to her, how isolating it felt, and why she's now speaking out so other mums don't have to go through it alone. She tells us that, shockingly, suicide is the leading cause of death in new mums in the first year! (Source: Tommy's) We also hear from Jade's mum, Tracey, who shares what it was like to watch her daughter go through it, getting her sectioned and supporting her through recovery.
