• 💙 BYTB: Doctor! My partner is pregnant, what can I do to help? A Q&A with Dr. Hugh Porter, obstetrician

  Welcome to EP17 of Beyond The Balls! Dr. Hugh Porter is an obstetrician, husband, legend and father of two! He’s experienced an amazingly varied career and quite a lot of life, so we thought there was no one more qualified to help us out with some Q&A from our audience. We answer questions as sticky as ‘my wife wants a Caesarean but I think she can do it naturally’ all the way to ‘what’s the weirdest pregnancy craving you’ve heard of?’ with entertaining results. We thank Dr. Porter for his time and I can guarantee you he’ll be back for round 2! This was an amazing interview and he blew us away with his knowledge, candour and approach to obstetrics. Thank you to all the Ballers who submitted questions via Instagram.

• What do you wish you knew before your elective c-section and becoming a FTM? - with Konnie, newborn mama

  We are so excited to have the beautiful Konnie on the poddy! Konnie is Jayde’s long-time friend (what a legend!), and we’ve managed to pull her out of her newborn bubble to chat with us all about her experience with an elective caesarean. She dives into why she chose this birth option but also shares how hard it was to find information about it—so much out there focuses on vaginal births or emergency C-sections! Konnie spills all the things she wishes she had known before her C-section and the little gems of wisdom she’s picked up as a first-time mum. If you’re considering an elective C-section or just love a good, honest birth chat, this one’s for you!

• 💙 BYTB: Terminal Illness. Parenting with resilience & grace in the face of the worst possible news - with parents Jeff Jenkins & Sarah Rigg

  Welcome to EP16 of Beyond The Balls! Jeff is 38, a father of two beautiful children and has Motor Neurone Disease (MND). He was diagnosed 7 months ago and his body is robbing him of his life with his family.  Chi’s father also passed away at 68 from MND (Also known as ALS / Lou Gehrig’s). It’s a terrible disease which shuts down your nerves, but leaves you in full faculty of everything happening around you - including what’s being taken away. That includes your movement, your speech, your dignity and ultimately your breathing.  It sadly is a disease that is becoming much too common. It is also incredibly poorly understood. We don’t know what causes it and there is no cure, with average life expectancy from diagnosis being 2 years. So when we got introduced to Jeff and his wife Sarah, we agreed we would try to change that, to increase awareness of the disease.  Jeff & Sarah came on the podcast  to talk about what they’re going through and it is one of the most profound, inspiring and heartbreaking pieces of work we could ever hope to be a part of. Jeff talks about resilience. About being grateful for a life well lived. About love. About his family. The grace in which he & Sarah have approached his diagnosis is truly, truly astounding. They are by all definitions, incredible human beings, dealt the most unfair hand in life.  We hope you can be inspired by this difficult interview.   Resource links: Jeff & Sarah’s GoFundMe Learn more about MND on FightMND   Beyond the Balls is a fatherhood podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Chi Lo, a Beyond The Bump production.

  We’re so excited to have the beautiful Roisin back on the poddy! This time, we’re chatting all about daycare transitions as her twins recently started.
