Show notes

Peter talks to Ashley Barlow about post-natal mental health, and it's many forms.
We are convering many, many topics tonight.
We're talking expectations Vs reality. What can happen when a pregnancy becomes a difficult one, second child "guilt", post-natal depression and anxiety. The importance of getting help, and where to get it.
It's a very frank and open conversation which is well worth a listen.
Thanks very much to Ashley for coming on and being so open about her own journey. If more women could speak about their experience with this degree of openess and honesty that would really help a lot of people.

Dump the "acceptance mindset" Nov 18, 2020

Peter waffles about many things; He quotes Sebastian Bach (Skid row, not the classical dude) and talks about the problem of an "acceptance mindset".
He had a conversation with a medical professional this week who herself was waiting for a Diastasis Recti surgery on the NHS which was another eye opener when it comes to the strange mindset people find themselves in.
Why, when many thousands of women have shown you it can be done, do you still believe your Diastasis Recti can't be healed through exercise?
He also touches on the difference between "DR safe" and "DR rehab" exercise as they are not the same thing.
and finally he explains why we did not put the "Covid and Pregnancy" blog out earlier. The simple answer is; We were waiting for studies to make sure we were not guessing our way through it.

Gestational Diabetes w Laura Nov 08, 2020

We're talking gestational diabetes with Laura. Laura is a mother of two, a boy and a girl, who had gestational diabetes during both her pregnancies. More than that, she knows A LOT about it and is a very engaging story-teller and therefore you'll want to listen to this one.
So what causes gestational diabetes? What are the symptoms and how is it managed/treated? How does it change your pregnancy journey? And how the severity can escalate from one pregnancy to the next and how the management changes when it's more severe.
We're also talking about what happens when labour is induced as that is something that happens when you have gestational diabetes.
Laura talks us through her entire experience; the good, the not so great and the unexpected benefits that came out of this.
Like I said; It's a very engaging story, well told and the 50 minutes or so will breeze past.

Kindness, decency and post-natal "weightloss challenges" Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Peter talks about the US election and how, in this day and age, it's disappointing that soo many people have abandoned decency and kindness as a prerequisite in our political leaders. It also seems to be the way of businesses making decisions and that gave Peter a bit of time to reminisce about why he started up HPNB.
And then, thank goodness, he moved on to HPNB and post-natal things such as 28-day weightloss challenges for post-natal women :)

Stop looking for shortcuts Nov 01, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Peter talks about the problem following everyone on social media and believing all those who have "a secret solution" to your problem. A shortcut will inevitably lead to a longer recovery.
We're also talking about the uselessness of doing Youtube routines for post-natal recovery, unless something is done in the right order you're not helping yourself.
And he talks about the importance of tackling the main cause of a problem.

Blame Vs Responsibility and when to diagnose DR Oct 28, 2020

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

Peter talks about the difference between "blame" and "responsibility". After last Sunday's podcast he had a couple of emails from people so he thought he';d better clear that bit up. Someone else can be to blame for the position you find yourself in but that doesn't mean they are responsibile for getting you out.
So there is 10 minutes on that and then he moves on to a great comment he had from another listener from Italy, or Spain, who said that they don't diagnose Diastasis Recti until you're a year post-partum. So when is the best time to diagnose DR?

Show notes

Peter talks Swiss cheese and how we quite often take the wrong approach when it comes to improving our lives. Whether it's health, fitness, diet, mental health or work quite often it's how we go about changing, rather than the change itsself, that's holding us back.
