SEASON 2 Episode 1 – Everything You Need to Know in Trimester 1
Welcome to the very first episode of Season 2 of Bun in the Oven podcast. I’m currently 10 weeks pregnant and have just left that weird pre booking appointment limbo where you’re 99% sure you’re pregnant, but you haven’t yet seen a health professional to confirm everything.
Now for many women those first 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, with no direct access to a midwife, can be a daunting time, especially if they have suffered a previous loss. It can feel like such a long time to wait until that initial booking appointment, which I have just had, and you might have so many questions you want to ask a health professional before then.
That’s where todays episode comes in. In this episode, I am talking to the wonderful, and super knowledgeable, Pip Morrish. Pip is an experienced, practicing Midwifery Sister, MSc graduate, founder of Midwife Pip Podcast, Hypnobirth and Antenatal Educator, co- author of published research and importantly a mum.
In this episode Pip and I dive into the feelings, concerns, highs and lows of those first few weeks. We talk about:
► When it’s time to call your GP to book an initial appointment
► What happens in your booking appointment
► What to expect from your 1st trimester, and
► How to manage anxiety in that time
Pip also simplifies:
► What foods to avoid
► What supplements are important, and
► Why staying active in that first trimester is so powerful.

This is a really helpful episode for anyone who is yet to meet their midwife and wants some professional support and reassurance before then.
Pip is such a wonderful guest and personally she is on a mission to ensure all expectant and new mums feel like superwoman during pregnancy and when they give birth. I hope you find this episode helps you feel confident and positive ahead of one of the best, and most thrilling, journeys of your life.
