Wait, does everyone have Botox? Plus your questions answered on a personal experience with peri menopause! - with cosmetic RN Brooke

Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce! A podcast targeted at mums, just like you! A place to have real conversations with honest and authentic people. 
Our 79th episode of Beyond the Bump is a bit different - the main portion of it we are actually talking about Botox, which isn't particularly conception, birth, pregnancy, postpartum related. 
We chat with Brooke, a cosmetic RN. She answers all your questions about Botox, is Botox safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding? Should you use Botox as a prevention or a cure? Who should you go to get Botox? Are there any long-term side effects of Botox? Does it hurt? And sooo much more!
In no way shape or form are we trying to pressure you into having Botox or thinking that you need to get it. We just like our listeners to be informed and we thought that this chat was extremely informative.
Brooke has a lot of knowledge in the industry, but the main reason we actually had her on the show was to talk about perimenopause. We just want to say that Botox and perimenopause are not related! It just so happened that Brooke has a personal experience of perimenopause, and she knows a shitload about Botox.
We hope you absolutely LOVE this episode!
