Fun fact Friday #14 - Pregnancy Digestion Explained & The BRAIN Decision Making Tool with Midwife Tahlia

Welcome to another quick and snappy Fun Fact Friday episode of the Hera Health Hub Podcast! In today’s episode, we are joined again by the amazing Tahlia, a registered and endorsed midwife and founder of Wolfe and Cub. We interviewed Tahlia on our podcast last week for International Day of the Midwife! If you haven’t yet, head back to that episode and give it a listen.

We start the episode by exploring the fascinating physiological process where pregnancy hormones contribute to slowing down the digestive process to maximise nutrient absorption for your developing baby. We discuss the side effects of the slowed digestion and share practical tips for managing the potential discomforts that may come with this.

Tahlia then introduces us to the powerful BRAIN acronym - a decision-making tool initially developed for birth choices that can be utilised far beyond the delivery room to help with everyday decision-making. This structured approach helps parents navigate choices during pregnancy, labour, birth, postpartum and beyond. 

From expert-led in-person birth preparation workshops in Sydney & the NSW Mid Coast, private pregnancy & postpartum care by Endorsed Midwife, Tahlia Darvas, virtual consultations worldwide, and a thoughtfully curated collection of resources including birth preparation products & TENS machine hire, Wolfe&Cub will ensure you feel supported, informed, and deeply cared for—wherever you are.
