Birth, Blended Families & Being Everyone’s Everything

This week, I’m joined by Georgia, nurse, mum to little Eddie and stepmum, for a bloody honest chat about birth and being needed by everyone. Georgia shares her high-risk pregnancy after discovering Eddie had a birth defect at 13 weeks, her empowering birth story, and navigating his surgery just 24 hours after he arrived. There’s gas-and-air chaos, an epidural followed by the best nap of her life, and a little boy who was home sooner than expected. Plus, daycare drop-off guilt, a taco shopping trip from hell, and this week’s Village Verdict: Can we love being our kids’ safe place while also wanting everyone to leave us the fuck alone for five minutes? Grab a drink, get comfy and welcome to the club. 💙 Content note: Discussion of a birth defect, neonatal surgery and NICU care.
