Show Notes
WE. ARE. BACK BABIES!
We loop our listeners in on where the hell we have been. Spoiler…some good…some horrendous.
We discuss navigating grief, but specifically whilst expecting, and all the complicated emotions that come with that.
The Nursery is getting done up and obviously David helped but we did have to send out the bat-signal to the father-in-law to do anything harder than painting.
It’s too hot to be pregnant and we decide we will probably move to Ireland or Alaska.
We talk about baby-names and is it cruel to name them something outlandish? When is too soon to decide on a name? What if they don’t LOOK like a Jonathan (regardless of gender).
We discuss a bit of a buzz topic in the media this week: “why is no one talking about men’s infertility?” - despite the fact we’ve been waffling on about it for years now! We talk about how men’s infertility gets sidelined in the NHS pathway, putting more focus and pressure on the women.
Also…we talk about how painful it really is to be kicked in the nuts.

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.
