About this listen

Hello and welcome back to Mother Tongue! A podcast and social media community bringing together mums from around the world to connect over their experiences of motherhood.

Now boasting a successful website, audiobook and strong social following, it all started with a podcast in 2020. A British expat living in the UAE, I started the brand all over a coffee with friends sat at her house, discussing the trials and tribulations of being a mum. The idea was to provide companionship for a generation of new mothers who are expected to do it all.

With the help of the many experts and mothers I have spoken to over the last three years, we have taken listeners along on our own journey into motherhood and beyond.

Now heading into its 13th season, Mother Tongue continues to grow and help women around the world.

Thanks for tuning in!

  • The Postpartum Body: Healing, Hormones, and Hope with Dr. Maria Peñalver Gaspar & Ms. Jacqueline Hawker
    Nov 25 2025

    Today we’re joined by not one, but two powerhouse guests from Mediclinic Middle East for a vital conversation on something every mother deserves to understand better — her postpartum body.

    First, we have Dr. Maria Peñalver Gaspar, a Specialist Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, who brings a compassionate and clinical perspective to what truly happens to our bodies after birth — from physical recovery to hormonal changes, pelvic floor issues, and more.

    Joining her is Ms. Jacqueline Hawker, a Senior Physiotherapist specialising in Women’s Health. She supports women on their journey of postpartum rehabilitation — from diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction to restoring strength, movement, and confidence after delivery.

    Together, Dr. Maria and Jacqueline are here to break the silence, bust the myths, and guide us through healing with honesty, knowledge, and hope.
