SEASON 2. EPISODE 5 - NESTING, RISKS OF IVF ABROAD AND DEAD SPIDERS (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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. It raises a question we’d never really thought to ask during our own fertility treatment: once your eg
Season 2. Episode 4 - A CAMEL'S BLADDER, AOC'S EGGS AND A TINY HUMAN SHINDIG (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Today is a balance of silly buggers and “Getting deep Deborahs.” Lauren reveals that she used to have the bladder of a camel but now in her third trimester it’s the size of a teeny, tiny…well Camel.

SERIES 2. EPISODE 3 - IVF DAY, ECTROPION CERVIX AND THE RACIST NEIGHBOUR (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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. The racist guy over the road interrupts our recording, David raps and we speculate whether or not our baby will inherit his hip-hop stylings. Lauren adds potential gestational diabetes, pelvic girdle pain and an ectropion cervix to her pregnancy bingo card. David lies to Lauren and tells her she has svelte ankles.

Read excerpt
We are (kind of) away on our babymoon - but we’ve trashed the joint. This week we talk about how navigating grief recently has made us reflect on our IVF journey. This throws up lots of questions: when and how do you process all of this; especially if you are still navigating it, how has IVF impacted our relationship and how will it impact us as parents? We visit Slough and discuss Boomer Dad’s love of roads. Do Camels have multiple bladders? Lauren does an offensive Welsh accent to Welsh people
