In the final episode of season 2, beloved weatherman, media personality and author Sam Mac joins us to reminisce on the first year of his daughter's life.

The Baby Bubble, hosted by twins Jessie and Clare Stephens (who had their first babies just 6 months apart), dives into the absurdity and hilarity of the first few months of newborn life. From the first post-birth poo, to the myth of schedules, and the absolute mayhem that comes with trying to leave the house.

If you’re looking for advice you’ve come to the wrong place, but if you want someone to crawl down into the chaos with you, we’re already here and the water is great!

Sam Mac On What Instagram Doesn’t Tell You About Parenting

This birth story involves a cervix that just wouldn’t dilate, an epidural that didn’t quite do its job, and a baby delivered with forceps. But it turned out to be an incredibly positive experience for the mum, Diary Of A Birth’s host Ksenija Lukich. Ksenija shares her own touching story of birthing Mimi.

Diary Of A Birth features mums telling their miraculous stories of bringing life into the world, and we have all medical questions and concerns cleared up by one of Australia’s favourite paediatricians, Dr Golly.

If you’d like to share your birth story, we’d love to hear from you at podcast@mamamia.com.au or send us a voice note here.

Ksenija Lukich Gave Birth Not Knowing The Epidural Was Detached

There comes a time in most parents lives where they ask the question... should we have another kid?

If the answer is yes, you can't always guarantee you know, or get, what you've signed up for.

That's exactly what happened when ABC Journalist and Podcast Host Matt Bevan and his wife Rachel looked to expand their family... they got a lot more than they bargained for.

Okay, so international travel is stressful at the best of times. Got your passport? packed all your medication? do you have enough underware? 

Now image throwing a tiny human into the mix... 

From strategic seat selection, to the realisation of just how inaccessible some major tourist city's are, Sami Shah has been there and done that.
