    Choking, CPR, Fevers & Head Injuries: Baby and Child First Aid with Paramedic Codi Ferguson

    Every parent has had that moment: Is this an emergency? Am I overreacting? Do I call an ambulance, go to hospital, or wait and see? In this episode, we’re joined by registered paramedic and mum Codi from Nurture & Know to talk through the baby and child emergencies every parent hopes they’ll never face — but needs to know how to respond to. From choking and CPR to fevers, breathing difficulties and head injuries, Codi breaks down what parents should actually be looking for, the red flags that shouldn’t be ignored, and when it’s time to seek medical help. We also talk about the realities of emergencies when you have twins or multiple young children — including what happens if one child needs an ambulance while you’re home alone with another, and what to consider when feeding two babies at once. And perhaps most importantly, we talk about confidence. Because in an emergency, you don’t want to be learning what to do for the first time. We chat about: How to know when to call an ambulance The difference between gagging and choking What to do if a baby or child is choking When CPR becomes necessary Head injuries and the red flags to watch for Fevers and febrile convulsions What breathing distress can actually look like What to do in an emergency when you’re alone with twins or multiple children When to learn baby and child first aid — and how often to refresh it It’s one of those episodes we hope you’ll never need — but one that could make all the difference if you do. Want to feel more confident in a baby or child emergency? Codi offers online, group and private baby and child first aid courses through Nurture & Know.

    Twin Mum Guilt: Why You Never Feel Like You're Doing Enough | With Psychologist & Twin Mum Mirinda Smith

    You spend so much time imagining what motherhood will look like. The coffee dates. The playgroups. The family outings. The version of motherhood you pictured in your head. Then twins arrive, and suddenly the reality can feel very different. In this episode, we're joined by psychologist and twin mum Mirinda Smith from Satya Psychology for an honest conversation about the parts of twin motherhood that often catch us off guard. We discuss the grief that can come with letting go of the motherhood you expected, why so many twin mums feel like they're never doing enough, the mental load of raising multiples, overstimulation, mum guilt, identity shifts, and the pressure to constantly improve ourselves. Most importantly, we explore a powerful idea that kept coming up throughout this conversation: what if you're not actually doing anything wrong? Whether you're in the newborn trenches, chasing twin toddlers, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the weight of motherhood, this episode is a reminder that you're not alone, you're not failing, and you might be carrying far more than you realise. In this episode we discuss: The reality of twin motherhood versus the expectations we carry into it Why mum guilt feels impossible to escape Overstimulation, rage and the mental load of raising twins The identity shift that happens when you become a mother Grieving the motherhood experience you thought you'd have Why acceptance can be more powerful than constantly trying to "fix" yourself Practical ways to support your mental health during the early years We laughed, reflected, unpacked a few uncomfortable truths, and walked away with a few reminders we probably needed to hear ourselves.

    Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS): Cara's High-Risk Twin Pregnancy Journey

    When Cara found out she was expecting identical twin girls, she had no idea her pregnancy would become a fight to bring them safely into the world. Just weeks after discovering she was carrying twins, Cara was diagnosed with Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) — a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that affects identical twins who share a placenta. What followed was a pregnancy filled with uncertainty, weekly monitoring, specialist consultations, 48 scans, and the constant fear of losing one or both babies. In this deeply emotional episode, Cara shares her experience navigating TTTS, selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR), and a high-risk twin pregnancy that tested her resilience in ways she never imagined. We discuss: What Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) actually is The early warning signs and diagnosis process Living scan-to-scan during a high-risk pregnancy The emotional toll of uncertainty and loss of control When surgery is an option — and when it isn't Managing anxiety while carrying high-risk twins Reaching viability and preparing for an early delivery The reality of bringing twins into the world after months of fear Cara's story is a powerful reminder of the strength parents find when faced with the unimaginable, and a source of hope for anyone currently navigating a complicated twin pregnancy.
