Dirty Mother Pukka with Anna Whitehouse Global Originals

The day has come, Anna’s eldest has a phone and there’s been a lot of chat in the school What’s App group about how to navigate this juncture. It’s uncharted territory and it is world’s apart from when Anna and Polly were ten but the pair talk about how to navigate this brave, new, pixelated world.

As the peri-menopause hits, Anna and Polly ask Dr Jen about what to expect when you are expecting… The Change. From periods to pregnancy and the menopause, this is an A-Z on tackling Mother Nature’s biggest hormonal shifts.

From ridiculous lists with £1,000 vases to unending hen dos and stag dos that soak up the cash, is a white wedding really all that for the guests? And does Pinterest have a lot to answer for?

Have you ever had well-meaning but awful advice landed on you? By a mother in law maybe or a mate even? This episode goes into the nitty gritty of what not to say to a mother. Especially new mothers.
