A lot has happened since you last heard from us. For one, Jessie had a baby!
But her labour and birth didn't exactly go to plan...
So today we've brought in Jessie's partner Luca so the two of them can discuss it from both sides of the experience, from the first contraction to when they met baby Luna. Consider this an experiment into how well our partners are paying attention in the delivery room.
Everyone's experience is unique. Always seek medical advice to find what's right for you.
If you're struggling postpartum, you can find local support here.
Hello Bump is proudly made in partnership with Huggies.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
