  • Expectation versus Reality
    May 19 2024

    We deep dive into a real, raw conversation about the reality of having a newborn, especially a Colicky newborn with reflux & other difficulties, & the honest, unexpected experience of Amy's "newborn bubble" following years of fertility treatments. Guilt, regret, gratitude - allllll the big feelings that come with an abnormally hard newborn experience, following the long & hard journey to pregnancy!

    * Trigger Warning * - We do mention anxiety, depression, & some pretty negative feelings. If you are struggling, please do reach out to your friends & family, but also your GP, your OB, midwife, & child health nurse, as well as the following:
