In this episode, we dive into groundbreaking new research showing that a mother’s brain doesn’t just change once – it changes with every pregnancy, and it changes differently the second time around. Drawing on recent MRI studies, we unpack how your brain is quietly rewiring itself to care for more than one child, why grey matter loss is actually a form of specialisation, and how these changes connect to perinatal mental health. You’ll also hear a real-life scenario of a second-time mum who feels dismissed by her care team, plus practical strategies to self-advocate, ask for better screening, and build the support you actually need in pregnancy number two. This is your reminder: if this pregnancy feels different, you’re not overreacting – your brain is doing something remarkable
