Welcome back to What They Don’t Tell You… But We Will, with Emily and Matt Norris. This week, we're diving headfirst into the whirlwind world of labour and birth — from broken tailbones to home births and everything in between.
In this episode, we’re sharing:
✅ Our three very different birth stories
✅ A dad's role in the delivery room (spoiler: there’s no time for a coffee break)
✅ The unexpected moments that can turn a calm birth plan upside down
✅ Your amazing birth stories — from unexpected breech arrivals to chaotic delivery room antics
✅ Matt’s Moan of the Week – featuring a rant about that infamous red book
Expect laughs, relatable chaos, and plenty of “why did no one tell us this?” moments. Whether you’re a new parent, a seasoned pro, or just here for entertainment, you're in the right place.
