EP 56 Mum is struggling

This EP is a must-listen for BOTH parents. Dr Preeya Alexander answers all your questions about sex after delivery, post vaginal and c-section. The most common reason women struggle to have sex post-birth is because of pain, we discuss this and how you can help this. All topics affecting postpartum sex are covered including mood disorders, exhaustion, being stuck in your head, importance of pelvic floor and the males perspective. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

EP 55 Postpartum SEX

What a year. We all survived. In this ep we reflect on the first year of being parents - the highs, lows, hardships and challenges we all faced as a First Time family. This episode is full of LOVE and advice for new parents.   See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

EP 54 We have a ONE year old!

Deciding to send your child to day care for our First Time Parents was a tough an emotional decision, ok that's a lie, maybe just for Heidi. In this ep, Heidi shares everything you need to know about making this decision - how she came to this decision, what questions she asked, how she found the daycare and WHY she chose them. Heidi was overcome with emotion and mum guilt for his orientation, whilst Memphis had the best time ever and was super chilled and happy.   See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

EP 53 Our son went to daycare

First time parents Heidi and Griffo love a routine...they also have baby Memphis on  a strict sleep schedule, so road trips and holidays can cause anxiety.  Holiday anxiety was in full force prior to the trip but the FTP came up with a plan to survive the road trip with a car seat screamer (since Memphy was 7 months old, he screams every time he gets put in the car seat.)            

EP 52 Road trip tips

In this ep, Griffo gets REAL about his connection with Memphis. There are days, he finds it super hard as a Dad and he struggles to connect. If you know a Dad who feels the same, this ep is for them. Heidi and Griffo have been fighting recently about his efforts with their son, they both get passionate and very honest about his parenting.      

EP 51 Dad's struggling to connect

First time in the history of the podcast, we stopped & had to delete the first ep and start again. There was too much tension & anxiety around the topic of COVID 19. A hugely emotional ep around planning their son's 1st birthday, the bog question to organise one? When Heidi's family are stuck on the other side of the country because of COVID 19 border restrictions. The couple delve into planning a first birthday during COVID, should they even have a party to celebrate this huge milestone, who to invite, should you go all out and how much do you spend on their baby?   

EP 50 Should we have a 1st Birthday party?

Pregnancy was tough on Heidi & Griff's relationship and in this ep the couple dive into why they saw their psych, his drinking and partying in the lead up to being a Dad & how Heidi became very primal and wouldn't take any BULLSHIT from anyone. Pregnancy was a rollercoaster of high and lows - including Heidi's breakthrough moment surrounding her body, hypnobirthing and how it changed their perspective on birth & Heidi's Gestational diabetes diagnosis at 26 weeks.  

EP 49 Our Pregnancy Story Part Two - our relationship hurdles, gestational diabetes & hypnobirthing

First Time Parents is an unedited, unfiltered podcast about us, a newly married couple (Heidi Anderson breakfast radio host & Sparky James "Griffo" Griffiths from Perth, Western Australia) as we tackle parenthood for the very first time, in all its shitty & glorious moments.
