You want to MAKE SURE you are eating right, exercising right & taking the right prenatal supplement.
You want to KNOW what Every. Single. Symptom means.
You are listening to all the stories and you are losing CONFIDENCE.

You just want to know if what you are feeling is normal.

Becki knew exactly what to expect of her gestational diabetes test, when to have it and what her results meant and what her next steps were.
Teymara prepared her birth plan by knowing all the tools she wanted to try to help her manage pain during her labour – the risks, benefits, when to ask for help and how each option would make her feel.
Rachel knew exactly what to do next when she experienced the terrifying moment of an early trimester bleed.
Sarah felt she could confidently ask questions of her obstetrician when it was suggested she have an induction.

Information from Dr. Pat and Brigid, information from other experts they trust, and witness to the questions, worries, and joys of fellow lovely pregnant women who also appreciate reliable, balanced information. I feel empowered with information, information I never would have known to ask about, information my medical provider doesn't provide by default (and is even difficult to get if I do ask - I've tried!). I am very grateful for the Grow My Baby program!
"I wasn't sure what the Grow My Baby program would provide on top of the podcasts, but I wanted to find out. It turns out the Grow My Program has provided me a whole new level of support -
Mai
I love the 'what does it mean to be induced?' module!
The other places this has been explained to me is at my Calmbirth program and by my midwife.
Your program explained it best. I especially appreciate the diagrams. Our 36w baby is at the 95th % for everything, measuring at 39w5d...
Induction may be on the table for us, I am undecided, so I particularly appreciate this module. Thank you so much!
Sarah
Finding reliable and evidence based information like this that is easy to access is priceless! Thank you so much for being at the forefront of delivering pregnancy information like no one else!
“I have to admit I was a little hesitant towards making the
financial investment in the program. You have well
and truly delivered!
Carly
I love all the information and how pragmatic Pat and Brigid are.
It really helps me keep on top of all the worries which pop up and get back to enjoying my pregnancy."
“I'm going through the public system and having the information and access to an expert is so reassuring.
Love notes
In helping 4000+ women have their babies I know there are elements during the process that are crucial to how you feel about the outcome.
I have seen women with a ‘text book’ pregnancy and birth feel disappointed.
I have seen women with a scary ‘lights and sirens’ emergency feel calm.
What’s the difference?
Good information + confidence + open mindset
But it took me a little while to understand this. You know the saying that if you have a hammer everything looks like a nail?
Well when you are a doctor sometimes everything looks like a problem only YOU can fix.
Brigid and I have four beautiful boys and it took me the complexity of parenting, to understand that lots of the anxieties and worries could be eased by EDUCATION.
As a husband and a father, I became a better doctor.
Hey, I'm Dr Pat. I have been working as an Obstetrician now for more than 20+ years.
Meet your teachers
Being a father and a partner PLUS helping 4000+ women to have their babies, I know a pregnant mama needs MORE than just tests and ultrasounds to get to a place where she can feel calm and happy.
By far, my greatest joy is being mama. But it hasn't always been this way.
My first pregnancy, in my first marriage before I met Dr Pat, I really thought I knew enough and I felt I had done EVERYTHING to be prepared. I read the books, I listened to the 'shoulds', I listened to the stories, I did my yoga.
Yet I was one of the many who felt 'blindsided' and 'overwhelmed' after my first son's birth. It turns out the information I researched, the rabbit holes I went down, was not the information I needed to help me make informed decisions.
It left me in 'blame'. I felt I had failed at birth so how could I be a good mother?
9 years later, married now to Dr Pat, my third boy's pregnancy and birth was so different. I felt calm and confident. Dr Pat was definitely down the hand holding end and was not my official obstetrician BUT I could ask him anything during my pregnancy. I could sort the myth from fact, what was opinion and what really mattered.
It took information from an experienced expert to help me enjoy being mama.
Hey, I'm Brigid. For 21 years, I have parented four boys, worked in health and marketing and now help run our medical clinic.
This is what we want for you. Powerful pregnancies and birth. Joy in motherhood. Joy in becoming a parent.
As seen in
“I am so very glad to have this resource you’ve created! I would otherwise have no idea what to do, and no trusted resource to ask if I felt uncertain about things I’ve been told to do.”
“I feel properly prepared knowing what I need to ask my care provider, not being blindsided by Dr Google or old wives tales and knowing what to expect during each stage of pregnancy. The amount of reading was perfect, the 10-15minutes I’d sit down in the afternoon while my 3 year old was entertained and catch up on the modules”.

Love notes
We know there's SO much information available. That's the problem.
Much of it is opinion.
Much of it from providers who haven't been in the room.
Who haven't caught a baby, who haven't had to talk with a woman when there's a big decision to be made, who aren't regulated.
We are all those things. We work in the space of pregnancy healthcare for women EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Imagine if you could have expert information on tap?
And now it's your turn!
Yes, if you are a pregnant then we are confident that you will be happy with the course material. What we can’t give information on is the medical systems in countries other than Australia. Well not yet. If you think the course is for you but you live in America for example, you will have to adapt it to your country until we do a field trip!
Is this course suitable for countries other than Australia?

We are there for you. Mamas in the community are beautifully supportive too. A big problem we hear from mamas who miscarry is that they feel alone. We are like your ‘secret’ support if this happens to you. You still have access to the course, you can stay in the community and you will also be invited into the pre-pregnancy module.
What happens to my program if I have a miscarriage?

A BIG YES. You are getting to the pointy end right? Everything you need to know about preparing for labour – you and your support person, how labour starts, what to expect at every stage of labour, what happens if you need help in your labour, recovery, decisions for your newborn, mindset, feeding your baby, writing the best birth plan +MORE …So. Much. Value.
I am already 30 weeks will I still get value from the program?

Firstly, thank you. We love putting The Kick together and we know tonnes of women are REALLY helped through listening to it. The GrowMyBaby program is very different. It is an outcome based, step by step program that covers EVERYTHING you need to know during your pregnancy, labour, birth, recovery after birth and caring for your baby in the first 6 weeks.
I have listened to every episode of your podcast, The Kick, will this be any different?

Hmmm. Yes and No. Yes you could get by with googling or asking your friends, maybe following your favourite IG account but you know what? This ends up with a lot of 'opinion' This program is about taking you step by step through the key milestones of your pregnancy, giving you lots of the RIGHT information. When you know better, you go better.
Can’t I just figure this out on my own?
