In our ninety-eighth episode of Beyond the Bump, we chat with the beautiful Alana from @mummyplusmumma. She is the mum of Leo and is part of a same sex relationship.

Alana talks to us about her and her partner’s very long journey of IVF to conceive their beautiful little bub.

How to pick a doner? What’s the difference between anonymous and de-identified donors and what’s the laws in Australia around this? The realities of IVF? How was Alana’s birth experience? Was there gender disappointment? The legalities around not being the biological mum of your child and MORE!

Trigger warning! We do speak about IVF, miscarriage, and genetic testing in this episode.

We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!

Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you! A place to have real conversations with honest and authentic people.

This episode of Beyond the Bump is brought to you by Bud. The Label:

Jayde, what do you look for when you're buying clothes for your kids?

Well, they have to be comfortable, easy to wash and not offensive when you look at it.

Agreed. Can I tell you about a brand you may not be familiar with?

Absolutely. I'm always happy to discover new brands and go shopping.

I thought so. So, the brand is called Bud. The Label. It was created by two Sydney mums who wanted clothes that were comfy enough for kids to play in, good enough quality that you can wash them time and time again, and that are gender neutral and timeless.

Pretty much all of Bud. The Label’s clothes are 100% cotton, so they're soft on their skin, and there's no extra bits and bobs to annoy or irritate them… just simple, well-designed, comfy clothes.

They also have sizes from approx. six months through to four years. And what I also love is that each collection complements the last so you can build on your bubs wardrobe and pass pieces down to younger siblings, while also purchasing new (if that makes sense!)
