Speaker 2 (00:19):
Jims you.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Good afternoon everyone, Hope you having a great Friday. Woods
wore a twelve kilo weighted pregnancy belly for five days
this week, Woods, to try and really empathize with your partner, Mim,
who is twenty twenty five weeks pregnant.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yep, she's excuse me, I'm absolutely gassed, but yeah, she's
twenty three weeks pregnant. And I guess this all started
with Mim just had my wife just had a really
tough week of pregnancy. And you know, you're naturally as
the partner, you're doing what you can to support and
because this is our we've already got a little girl
(00:59):
called Remy, so a lot of that was just looking
after Remy to help Mim out.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
But yeah, this particularly tough week.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
And then a caller called the show and just said, hey,
why don't you wear a fake preggy belly for a
week just to better understand it, And then I reckon,
you'll be a better support. Yeah, so enter this week
all the preggy belly and fully appreciating by the way
that this is this is only five percent of what pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
There's so much.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
A lot of the comments have been like, oh, this
is what it is. We know that's not what it is.
I think it was more just an attempt to try
and understand more what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I mean, you know, it's better to make some effort than.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Exactly And I'd say the learnings from that would be.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
What are the biggest take homes for you?
Speaker 1 (01:39):
So I said this to you before, but for me,
I was kind of like, I feel like I was
going into the week trying to figure out what movements
and what tasks are hardest when you're pregnant. But again,
the overwhelming sentiment from the week, and I learned this
pretty early in.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
The week, it's just that everything is worse.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So it's not even like even sitting on the couch right,
Like I've probably been guilty in the past of like
if I'm lying on the couch with him and you know,
watching a movie or whatever, it's like, this is great,
you know, this is ultimate relaxation for you. But I
found this week trying to lie on the coutch with
a twelve kilo belly on it actually wasn't comfortable at all, and.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
You kept saying that you can't get.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Comfortable no, right, and then you know that's what you
hear from pregnant people all the time, right, So so
I think you know that a takeaway can be like
me thinking that just have the line on the country
there is you know, that's that's the way of support
and say nah, let's like get into a position.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Where I'm taking the weight of the belly.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Maybe you know, because the other thing is, you know,
men feels bad asking for help sometimes. Yeah, yeah as well,
you know, and I'm sure there be other women that
are pregnant that made me feel that way.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
It's just don't feel that, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Why you feel that way guilty asking for help or
you know, you don't mean you don't have to ask
for help, right, yeah, you know, So that that's a
big takeaway that every single thing is everything.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Everything's it took.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Away all the things you love, like it really did,
Like it took away your exercise, took away because you
ate a pregnant per a pregnant woman's eating regime as well.
So that we had a dietitian come on, a fertility specialist,
and she basically he said, you can't have I mean
lots of the things that you loved to get sandwich,
to get eggs, you get coffee, to get literally your diet.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, it couldn't go bike riding. Like obviously bike riding
is like you're just funny for your mental health as well.
It's like, you know, getting out on a bike is
so important for me to.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
General right this.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I did this for five days.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, it's such a small amount of time, but still
in this moment now, I'm like, think about what a
pregnant woman is sacrificing as part of her lifestyle over
a forty week period.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Yeah, it's it's total madness.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
And then you know, talking about the labor then, like
I had five hours of only experiencing like imitated contractions. There,
I haven't then delivered a baby after. And also I'm
not now needing to breastfeed straight away.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You didn't in birth for percenta there was no sort
of you know, ripping or tearing that was going on. Yeah,
you don't have to learn now learn how to breastfeed
whilst exhausted.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Because straight into that, do you know what I mean,
It's not like it, you know, you have forty weeks
of pregnancy. Then you go straight into a birthing speed,
which can be really intense.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And that's it.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
I was going to say, there's if there's trauma after
the birthing, salt your own mental health to think about
our rights as well. Then it's like keep postnatal depression,
throw that in there.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
And then you go like, but breastfeed now and keep
this baby alive and look after this baby. So I think,
you know, I not that I didn't have like the
utmost respect and love for my partner for doing this,
but it definitely has increased even more. And I think
a good thing to remind ourselves moving forward is that
of the woman in your life who has brought a
(04:34):
baby into the world. And I'm sure that you love
that thing more than anything. Just remember the huge sacrifice
and what they have gone through to bring you.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
What is I think the greatest gift you can give someone,
which is.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
A child here here, man, you gave is a great
gift before though would giving birth.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Live in the studio listening to this final contractions, here
we go, just push this in the last ones.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
You've got this, You've got it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Come.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
The baby's got me out.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
I mean, I can say it oh my gosh, can
we call you.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
No, it's not twins, Oh you free falseal.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
When I was saying give it to me, I was
saying give me the.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It was strange though.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
You are rigged up to a birth simulator, and I
do I know you love pain. We had the Angel
of Death junior producing analytes who had been controlling the
contractions all day for you. Across the course of five hours, AB,
I think you love that a bit too much.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It was enjoyable a bit you did like it, didn't you?
It was not Yeah, we had to me.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
She had to stay within a meter of me for
the last five hours.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
There was one moment where I went to go on
across the road and she didn't cross the road and
she had.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
To tail me very quickly.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
That's quite dangerous. But it's been a lovely day with you.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
AB.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Now I think we maybe as a final gesture from Abe,
given she's put you in so much pain, she's going
to be the one to relieve you of the twelve
kilobilly which you've been strapped to all this week.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's got to stick, Analyst, get over there, mate.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
He hasn't shower, he hasn't been able to shower all
week because he's been in this belly is a concern
I think over the state of his skin.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Or one strap.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
You just do.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's a career as a dominatrix somewhere for you, Anily,
I swear to God.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
But she just loves this stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
She loves it.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Look at the masochistic person. Don't do this? What is
she doing? And take it off? Mate? There we go.
Oh it's off, it's off. Look at that sweet sweet?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
How is this?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
You just can't imagine how good that feels.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Isn't that good?
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I feel like I'm on the moon.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Oh yeah, like gravity doesn't have an impact on me anymore,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
No, I don't know how Neil Armstrong feels.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
That's all.
