Hello, Bump

Congratulations! You did it. You've got a beautiful little baby. But, uh, now what? How do you feed this thing? And is there a baby hotline you can call when things get too scary? Bec Judd and Monique Bowley are back for one last time, along with with our crack team of experts Midwife Cath and Dr Sgroi. They're answering all your questions about your first few days with bub, from what baby gear you really need in the hospital, to why you're going to need a bouncer at your door. Plus, we find out when you can get back on that bicycle (both literally and metaphorically - who's ready for baby number two?)

The Impregnator. The Inseminator. Dad. Whatever you call them, partners have a big part to play in your birth. Even if that's just staying quiet, holding your hand and acting as a human stress ball. Bec’s husband (and football royalty) Chris Judd joins us in the studio to tell us what birth is like when you’re not the one doing the birthing. From how dads can support a heavily pregnant woman, to how they can manage their own nerves in the birthing suite and help without getting in the way. And the love! Oh yes, the love between a dad and his brand new baby is something truly special. So grab your dad-to-be, plonk him down on the couch and tell him he's taking Juddy's birth class.

From Bec Judd's perfectly planned pain-free experience, right to the other end of the spectrum with the pure mayhem of Tiffiny Hall's birth. It's a bumpy ride!

Take a deep breath. You can do this. We'll be here every step of the way....
