A LOCALLY produced podcast discussing all things pregnancy has hit a major milestone.<\/p>\n
The Kick, hosted by obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Patrick Moloney and his wife, health communicator and former podiatrist, Brigid Moloney, has reached more than one million downloads,\u00a0with listeners\u00a0in more than 160 countries.<\/p>\n
The pair have released 87 episodes since 2019, they share essential information from conception, to birth, and beyond, and aim to have a realistic approach.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled that our podcast has already reached over one million people and look forward to connecting with another million listeners in the near future,\u201d Dr Moloney said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aim to empower parents-to-be with a clear understanding of the pregnancy journey, minus the medical jargon, and provide insights into the real experiences.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe it’s crucial to share relatable information to help women anticipate the unique aspects of pregnancy and childbirth, as these experiences can vary greatly from person to person.<\/p>\n
\u201cTraditional antenatal classes often focus solely on the birthing process and may assume a straightforward vaginal delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, pregnancy encompasses 280 days, and our podcast, along with our online pregnancy program, aims to comprehensively prepare first-time parents for the complete pregnancy and childbirth experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
The couple are the founders of Ballarat Women’s Clinic, and Dr Moloney has been part of the delivery of 4000 babies within 13 years.<\/p>\n
They have four children of their own and run an online pregnancy and birth program called GrowMyBaby.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile there is a wealth of information available online, not all of it is reliable or up to date,\u201d Dr Moloney said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur mission is to ensure women receive current, evidence-based, and realistic information to better prepare them for their journey.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
