Welcome to our podcast family!
We are Tristan and Miranda, and this is our BRAND NEW podcast - Test Tube Baby.
Join us on our 'IVF Journey' as we chat through the highs and lows of trying to get pregnant. 1 in 7 couples struggle with infertility and we are that one. In true Tristan and Miranda style there’ll be a whole lot of tangents, more than one euphemism and inevitably we will expose and embarrass ourselves.

Episode 4 - Fourth Trimester and Randy Old Ladies
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... "Story Time" debuts this week, let us know what you think!

Episode 2 - Our Birth Story
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.

Episode 1 - We Back, Baby
Yes, it's really happening. WE ARE BACK! Test Tube Baby returns for a second season packed with more TMI, oversharing and euphemisms than you can shake an ultrasound probe at.
Today, we ease you into a new season updating you on all that's happened since we last spoke. For those of you wondering, we HAVE had a baby so we tell you a little bit about her, and also run through several other major life events we foolishly crammed into our lives having just had a child.
Thank you so much for coming back to us for season 2, it really does mean the world to us! Thanks for being patient too... we know you've been waiting a while for this but trust us - it'll be worth it!

With Christmas just around the corner, we're going to talk through some gift ideas for anyone who is going through IVF or is pregnant / giving birth etc etc etc. Head over to our Instagram to see if we've had a baby yet!!

Customer Reviews
Fab. Kind. Informative. Love
I found videos of Tristan and Miranda on YouTube as they Vlogged their IVF journey and subsequently followed Miranda on Instagram just before my own Endometriosis diagnosis. As my and my husband are also about to go through IVF it’s been so helpful to see their journey and also that their IVF treatment had such a good outcome.
The podcast itself is informative with great tips and they’re easy to listen to as they’re funny, positive and very human you can reply identify with them. Some other postcast around IVF and conception can be quite negative (and dare I say even bitter sometimes) so this is a refreshing find and I’m really enjoying it and soaking up all the information ahead of my own treatment soon. Definitely recommend.
Your Podcast’s make my week!
There is nothing better than starting my week with listening to you both! You are absolutely hilarious 😂 I am a few weeks ahead (29 weeks!) & I feel a sense of comfort knowing we are almost the same gestation. When you got to 24 weeks I was so happy for you both. Thank you for being so entertaining but informative, sensitive and overall just the highlight of my week! Hands down my favourite podcast!!!
A joy to listen to!
I found this podcast after losing my first baby in June and although I am not doing IVF, I have found this podcast to be so uplifting and educational that I am absolutely hooked. I have binged listened to every single episode whilst working from home and it’s been absolutely amazing to follow along and listen to Miranda and Tristans journey. Wishing you all the luck in the world with baby girl Squidge!
