from Beyond the Bump · host Sophie Pearce & Jayde Couldwell

A topic that comes up in the Beyond the Bump community daily is the big question, “how do you know when you’re done?” Yep - are you planning on having more children? And do we all get that feeling of knowing our family is complete? Or is that a myth? This is a round table style episode where we sat down with the eight members of the Beyond the Bump team on our team weekend away and dived into our own unique perspectives. Spoiler alert, about half of us cry! We discuss… Those of us who feel ‘done’ and how we know Does your children’s gender influence your desire for more kids? Soaking up a pregnancy knowing it is your ‘last’ - is this meaningful or just another milestone that actually makes us feel guilty? Grappling with the pressures of modern day life when your heart wishes for more children How our previous challenges impact our decisions That feeling of finding yourself and your ‘new normal’ after pregnancy Hannah, our audio editor, doesn’t have a partner or children and shares honestly how family planning is a constant pressure How fertility issues, relationship breakdowns and mental health play a part Is it harder to lean on your ‘village’ when you have multiple children? …and so much more!
