Show Notes
This week we talk about Jim Carrey’s clone and a near death experience in a Ryanair toilet. David’s grumpy and moans about everything.
We talk about the horrors of soft play and David meets his mortal enemy. Lauren also tells David he’s the poor man’s Rafe Spall. In a totally non-gratuitous way we also talk about trying to find intimacy again after the cold, clinical process of IVF.
We do a deep-dive into baby-scan PTSD, having navigated so many traumatic ones, Lauren talks about how new, crippling pregnancy symptoms are cropping up every day and we also discuss our first booking appointment with the Midwife. We also try to figure out why it’s so damn hard to get hold of medication for pregnant women.
We talk through our existential dread now that the world is almost always on fire and whether we could keep doing the Podcast and raise a family from a nuclear bunker.

This week David and Lauren reflect on the arrival of baby Cashel.
Lauren goes in for a routine scan and is kept in. The Baby is coming. It's D-Day.
This week, we’re talking about trust, transformation and two very different approaches to nesting. But drive each other bonkers in the process. We start with the deeply troubling stories emerging from fertility clinics in northern Cyprus, where families say DNA testing has revealed that the sperm or egg donors they carefully selected may not have been the donors used to conceive their children.
Today is a balance of silly buggers and “Getting deep Deborahs.”
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.
