Lucy, love listening in, thanks so much for creating this platform for women to share x
This podcast is for you if:
You have had your baby (however long ago)
You would like to have baby(ies)
You are pregnant right now
You know someone who has had a baby…
…So it’s for pretty much everyone.
This is shaping up to be a fabulous resource for birthing people (and those who love birthing people) everywhere.
The conversations feel cosy and intimate, full of humour and emotion and empathy.
Usually these podcasts are so short, it’s rare to find a UK based one that is so thorough and doesn’t try and scare the crap out of pregnant people! Can’t wait for the next one
