The Baby Making Business

SERIES 2. EPISODE 3 - IVF DAY, ECTROPION CERVIX AND THE RACIST NEIGHBOUR

The Baby Making Business

Show Notes

To mark IVF day, we celebrate Jean Purdy, perhaps the greatest unsung hero of IVF. In doing so, we discover Rabbits were also trailblazers in the science of IVF.

The racist guy over the road interrupts our recording, David raps and we speculate whether or not our baby will inherit his hip-hop stylings.

Lauren adds potential gestational diabetes, pelvic girdle pain and an ectropion cervix to her pregnancy bingo card.

David lies to Lauren and tells her she has svelte ankles.
