An informative and comforting 5-part audio course that will guide you through the first 12 weeks of pregnancy
Perhaps you’re feeling little (or a lot) nauseous and you’re not really sure what you need to do next.
The first trimester is typically quite lonely and many women admit that it’s significantly challenging — physically, mentally and emotionally.
You probably have a lot of questions right now and you’re not really sure who to trust or where to go for answers.
I have gathered a range of perinatal specialists who each share their tips, advice and knowledge on a variety of topics including:
Let’s look at exactly what you’ll learn inside the course.
In this episode I chat to prenatal yoga teacher, mother-of-four and published author, Jodi Wilson about your first GP appointment. We discuss:
In this episode, dietician, nutritionist and mother-of-two, Heidi Sze takes you through:
Perinatal Psychologist Phillipa Cannan talks to us about mental health in the first trimester:
Midwife Lauretta shares simple, helpful and heartfelt advice for navigating the physical challenge of the first trimester. She also explains:
I chat to Bonnie, a mum-of-two and student midwife who explains the role of a student midwife, the best way to find one and what the experience can offer you.
I really loved the content of the course! I really struggled with the app though. It often forgot where I was up to or replayed course episodes I had already listened to. I wonder if it's possible to move it to a podcast app?
I found the breakdown of information provided within this course a reassuring first step as I made sense of what I was supposed to do over the first few weeks.
I found it easy to digest and map out what I needed to do next and it helped me plan questions when I had my first GP visit and eased my initial nerves. For those who have also got the Complete Guide to Pregnancy and Birth it is a good compliment, but if you dont you still get a lot of helpful information.
I found this review so helpful with trying to navigate those early days of my first pregnancy. It’s an overwhelming time with minimal support, having this was a big help with knowing what to do & what to organise.
Purchasing this course was the first thing I did after getting a positive pregnancy test. I had devoured the first episode and booked in with my GP (based on the recommendation in episode 1) before I told my husband! This course is the calm you need in a new, unknown chapter of your life. Especially helpful if you are someone who decides not to share their pregnancy until reaching the second trimester as the course supplies lots of information you’d typically lean on your support system for. Recommend this course 100%!

Hi there, I’m Sophie — host of the top-rated weekly podcast Australian Birth Stories (15 million downloads and counting), creator of educational programs for pregnancy and motherhood, and mother to 3 boys under 10.
I have a Masters in Public Health, and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been deeply interested in babies and birth; a fascination that only amplified when I became pregnant with my eldest son, Niko. Despite planning for a drug-free birth centre birth, what unfolded was a lengthy 36 hour labour with a hospital transfer, induction, epidural, episiotomy, forceps, and a postpartum haemorrhage...
