    Week 40 with Julie Jay
    Aug 24 2020
    Back to pregnancy. Yay! Irish comedian Julie Jay is 31 weeks pregnant so Hannah and Carl thought it was only right to share their expertise with her (even if she was expecting to talk to a man called Keith) This episode includes previously untouched pregnancy related topics such as Gestational Diabetes, potato salad sandwiches, handwritten birth plans and baby-parent matching outfits.

    Week 39 with Hannah and Carl
    Jul 7 2020

    It’s Week 39, but it isn’t really. Also known as the Fourth Trimester, Hannah and Carl are on the steep learning curve that is actually taking care of a newborn baby. In this episode they chat through the post-pregnancy topics that are governing their lives right now – mainly boobs, poo, farts and wee. And sleep. And crying. And all the TV shows they can’t watch any more.

    Well. Week 38. There’s been a full moon and plans in place for a “not a baby shower” Zoom party taking place across three time zones.

Because this episode includes our birth story, and the very special guest is our baby girl, Twyla. It’s happened. We’ve got a baby!!

Now at 35 weeks, Hannah’s not in labour yet and in this episode we chat with Josie about hypnobirthing, progesterone, night nurses and getting high on gas and air.

  • Week 34 with Viv Groskop

    Week 34 with Viv Groskop
    May 26 2020
    Hannah and Carl have found themselves a new guru! It’s week 34, the baby is getting ever closer and this wonderful conversation with “broody person” Viv Groskop has got them feeling fine. Over the years Viv has researched, interviewed and written extensively about pregnancy and birth, and graciously shares her wisdom in this episode - along with stories of her three labours (4 hours, 1 hour & 40 minutes), confusing birth with food poisoning and 42-week pregnancies.
