First Time Parent Podcast
Christopher Bartlett-Walford
Jessica and Christopher are parents for the first time... and they DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Join them as they journey from pregnancy to parenthood, and talk about everything that comes with it; the body changes, mental health, and extra fluids to name but a few, all with a lot of giggles! We suggest starting from the beginning so you have the whole Journey :). A fun, open and honest look into first time parenthood, by two married Brits.
NEW MUM BODY BITS
Jessica and Christopher talk about how Jess' body reacted after giving birth, both in the immediate days and then Weeks after. There's a lot of talk about Boobs, Periods and Blood. It's all very interesting! After all - she has just had a baby removed from inside her!

Parenting Class #3 - Feed Me!
Pregnancy is amazing....but what do you actually DO with a baby!?  This is what the final parenting class taught us, or rather, how to care for it (STOP CALLING THE BABY IT, CHRISTOPHER!).  We discuss Breastfeeding, Formula milk and our decision on what we'll feed Baby BW. Nappies, bathing, and more. Christopher gets protective over parents feeding in public, and they get to grips with a load of information about what to do when Baby BW is actually here.  We'd love to hear about your baby journeys, so email the show at [email protected] and support the show for free, by Tweeting, Instagramming or posting about it with @FTPPUK & copying the link to the show ! We REALLY appreciate it. Music by Jukedeck.

Parenting Class #2 - DJ Big Tongs and MC Forceps
WHAT a laugh of a show today!! It's the second in a series of Ante-Natal / Parenting Craft class special episodes, where Jessica and Christopher sat down with other expectant parents, and the Midwifes to ACTUALLY learn about all things Birthing.  In today's class, they learned about the delivery of the baby and the all important pain relief, discussing some personal areas, and they even create DJ Khaled's biggest Rivals... Also, will Christopher pass out during Labour? Take Your Bets NOW! :) Recorded June 4th 2019. Email us !

Parenting Class #1 - Tear-iffic!
Another Giggly one today! In the first of a trio (not two like Christopher says!) of special episodes, we discuss our Parenting Craft classes with the Maritime Midwife team. We learned a WHOLE lot more about the implications on the female body during Birth, processes and the orders of labour and about everything that goes with it !! (Make sure you do your pelvic floor exercises!) There's also a heartfelt moment where we almost get too emotional at the end!

Packing Our Hospital Bag!
It's time to pack our bag(s) for the Hospital - JUST incase we have to dash there sooner than planned!  A Big point in any pregnancy, and one that we've been looking forward to doing for a while. What have we decided to take? Christopher's Nintendo Switch? Baby Birth Beers? Or just a plethora of lotions, creams, nappies and baby milks?  To all of you who gave us your input over on instagram, THANK YOU! (@FTPPUK)  Get in touch with the show [email protected] !

Our Birth Plan
It's a big one today.  We discuss the Birth Plan and what our choices, or rather, preferences will be. What position we want to give birth, what pain relief and lots of things alongside that. There's lots of talk about Baby names, if we have any ready, and more third trimester fun. Also, what's the worst swear you think Jessica will shout at Christopher during Labour? The clock is ticking now...  Get in touch with the show - [email protected] & send us a voice note through the Anchor.FM App!
