32 | I Couldn't Say Out Loud That I Was Struggling | Sabrina | Stage 4 Endometriosis, Fertility Journey & Newborn Sleep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some nights, Sabrina was waking every thirty minutes to an hour. She'd assumed she'd hit the jackpot, a newborn sleeping eight hours a night, barely one wake. Then four months hit, and it never really stopped. By seven months, some nights she was waking six to ten times. She told herself it was teething. It wasn't. Before any of that, Sabrina spent ten years chasing a diagnosis for pain doctors kept dismissing. Stage four endometriosis, found only after a routine 45-minute surgery turned into ei
31 | I Thought We'd Made a Huge Mistake | Jess | Night Terrors, Ditching The Dummy & Surgery Recovery (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For three months, Jess convinced herself the night terrors would just pass. Every night, roughly two hours after bedtime, her daughter Floss would start screaming, kicking, thrashing, eyes wide open, completely unreachable. Sometimes it happened every thirty minutes until 1am. In the morning, she had no memory of any of it. Jess's own GP had never heard of a link between night terrors and tonsils. In this episode, Jess shares what actually led her to push past "wait and see," the nasal spray tha

29 | I Googled How Long Until Sleep Deprivation Could Kill Me | Natalie | IVF, Postnatal Anxiety, Epilepsy & Sleep Training (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I googled how long until sleep deprivation could kill me. Natalie spent three years trying to become a mum through unexplained infertility and IVF. Then her husband's epilepsy meant that after their son Arlo was born, she had to survive every single night alone, because for him, sleep deprivation isn't just exhausting, it's medically dangerous. Arlo wasn't sleeping. Ten, sometimes eleven times a night he would wake. Natalie was diagnosed with postnatal anxiety, started counselling through the Gi
28| My Husband Had to Tell Me I Had Postpartum Depression | Jamie | Toddler Sleep, Adenoids, Undiagnosed Postpartum Depression & Sleep Training (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jamie tried everything to get her daughter to sleep. Rocking. Feeding to sleep. Singing. An item of her own clothing in the cot. Nothing worked for longer than a month. Jamie is a mum of two, soon to be three, and has spent the last three years trying to understand why the sleep training that worked for her son in two nights did nothing for her daughter. She tried a gentle, non cry it out method from a bestselling sleep book that had worked perfectly the first time. She tried mother's group advi
