Description

Trigger warning - Pregnancy, graphic descriptions, childbirth, and new born.

In this episode, we sit down and talk about what it was really like becoming parents for the first time — from pregnancy to the moment we met our son, Henry.


It wasn’t picture-perfect. Sarah ended up facing most of the hospital stay alone and I wasn’t allowed to be there for much of it due to Covid restrictions. I struggled as I didn’t feel the instant bond I thought I was supposed to and Sarah felt all alone in the hospital, scared is an understatement.


This one’s about the messy, emotional, unforgettable experience of welcoming our first child — the things no one really tells you about.


As always, thanks for listening — and see you after bedtime.
