Episode 37 - 39 Weeks, WHEN IS SHE COMING?

Today it's all about the fourth trimester... I know what you're thinking, tri means three. Well get back in your box you pedantic fool you. Hear all about our experiences of the 12 weeks following Penny's birth. For once, we take things seriously and share our own individual journeys into parenthood, where things aren't always sunshine and rainbows. Mastitis, sinusitis and sleeplessness? One of these three involved Tristan fondling Miranda's boobs on doctor's orders and no, Tristan isn't the doctor. We also try a new "game" - we laughed although we're not sure you will...

So here it is. From start to finish. Hear our birth story, from how and when Miranda's waters (sort of) broke, the induction, infection, epidural that followed, all the way through to the moment Penny came into the world. We've even given you a little clip of the moment it happened, tissues at the ready guys.Overall we feel so lucky our birth story was a happy one, filled with love, support and incredible midwives. Naturally, in true Tristan and Miranda style, we're speaking very candidly so just be aware of that if you are currently pregnant and due to give birth soon. It's raw, it's real and it's magical.Follow us over on Instagram@[email protected]@tristan.hall Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
