Episode 36 : Settling in to your birth space
We talk about getting comfortable and the things that might be offered to you when you’re there.
We give our tips for how to settle into your space and advise you to listen to your instinct regarding whether to stay close if you aren’t admitted.
We hope to help you know a bit about hat to expect when you arrive and some jobs the birth partner has to do when you get there. Their role in the hospital is a big one!

Episode 22: The ‘gross’ bits of birth (BEWARE if you don't like hearing about sh*t, do not listen)
We have worked with enough pregnant folk to know ALL the things people want to know but would rather not ask.
Things it may be considered’impolite’ to discuss….. There’s none of that here at TBU where we’re very much ‘no filter’.
We’ll tell you the stories of us shitting in labour to reassure you.
We discuss weeing and vomiting in labour to help give you some tips.
We offer some insight into whether the bloody view you have of birth is really common.
We tell you straight up what is expected of your pubes on the big day.
Dive in!
