In this show Sally speaks with mother, doula, author and maternity services advocate, Catherine Bell, about the importance of thoroughly exploring your options for life after birth, the postnatal period and having a clear plan in place. As Catherine says "birth is just the beginning" - the beginning of a marathon in the first weeks, months and years of your baby's life, and like all marathons, preparation is necessary to get the most out of this time.

Safe co-sleeping guidelines - important to set up for this even if you don't intend co-sleeping, as there are very high chances it could happen inadvertently, so you want to make sure it's safe (ie, NOT on the couch): https://cosleeping.nd.edu/
