Gemma shares pregnancy updates as baby’s arrival gets closer, while Sinead reflects on life with a three-month-old and how the newborn trenches finally start to ease. From sleepless nights and breastfeeding realities to hemorrhoids, hospital bags and postpartum essentials (yes… including the fanny freezer), nothing is off limits.

They chat about: • navigating early motherhood and sleep deprivation • the importance of community and helping new mums • friendships, showing up for each other and building your “village” • the pressure around marriage and babies • parenting styles and when others step in with your kids Plus the usual chaos and oversharing.
