In this episode, we get real and raw and talk about my journey into motherhood as a 38-year-old. Pregnancy is hard at any age but as a 37-38-year-old who had NO idea about pregnancy and who fell pregnant first go... it was a crazy bloody journey, to say the least! 

I give you my no-BS take on my experience on everything to do with pregnancy including:

  • The plan to fall pregnant – discussion of when we agreed and age-related issues
  • Reality hit – boom you're pregnant, now what!?
  • Telling family & friends
  • What do I do next? Useless doctors & doctor Google + Covid
  • What hospital do I go to – Please not Fairfield!
  • Oh shit, what to buy for me & baby
  • People's useless advice!
  • I'm scared – the things they don’t tell you.
  • Birth...just wow
  • Dr Dre Feat Eminem – The (placenta) aftermath!
  • I'm a mum! Reflecting on my journey.
