No you're not losing it, your emotions have changed and science says that having a child changes your brain forever.
In latest episode of parenting podcast This Glorious Mess, Dr Golly breaks down the reason you may cry at the news. Or feel overcome by emotions at the smallest things.
It turns out that your amygdala, your brain’s emotional HQ, opens up a whole new range of emotions designed to help you care for your child. But it also starts to influence how you interact with the world around you... and guess what, its forever!

They say hindsight is 20/20 and looking back on our first few months as parents we can definitely say there are some things we nailed… and definitely others we failed.
Some of us (Luca) might not remember the finer details, but today we’re retracing our first steps into parenthood.
So what can we give ourselves a pat on the back for? And what did we let go through to the keeper?

Well, well, well… long time no see, friends. Welcome back to Hello Bump.
Last time we spoke, Jessie & Luca walked you through the arrival of their beautiful baby girl, Luna.
Now that the dust has settled and they’re in the swing of life with baby, we wanted to know…has parenting been anything like they expected?
