  • Time to leave this one behind

    I used to love the podcast but it’s become so unrelatable. I think there were parts initially everyone can relate to and amazing humour, but it does feel extremely contrived and there’s nothing I can relate to at all any more. I think they forgot ordinary people and thought we would still stick around.

  • Drama

    It’s like Sophie is the first woman to ever be pregnant, and making such heavy work of it all. Too drama queen for me (Jamie more than Sophie!)

  • Meh

    I can’t warm to this podcast. The way Sophie speaks to Jamie is a bit shocking, at times. She blames it on pregnancy, but it’s her personality and lack of respect for Jamie.

    Jamie plays dumb, which is getting boring.

    They’re very out of touch with reality and the non-posh tottie experience of pregnancy and child birth.
