    Minia is a massage therapist who lives in Bristol with her partner and her six year old daughter. We talk about the joy of being surrounded by women, dislocating her arm within the first two weeks, having a fabulous birth despite bits of placenta being left inside and the realisation that despite being committed to breastfeeding, she just wanted her breasts to be hers again. #birth #sixmonths #placenta #IVF #miraclebaby #Bristol #mums #instagrammums #life #mothering

    You Will Never Again Do Things You 'Quite' Want To Do

    Margaret Cabourn Smith is a podcaster and actress and mother to two children. She talks about how she found the first six months really, really hard and how she kept Bridget Christie and Lucy Montgomery's names written down to remind her that people had had children and managed to have a career in comedy.

    Jay Lafferty discusses all things IVF, fear of a C-Section, going back to work almost immediately and how one of the less talked about aftereffects of birth can be blood clots in your vajayjay.

    Breast Is Best Except When It's Not

    Ali is the local Sing and Sign leader in Edinburgh, where Pippa lives. Ali is married with three children and talks all things mastitis, PND and deciding to have more children when the first-first six months is so tricky.

    The First Six Months - Cathrine Frost Bonus

    Whilst at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Pippa went to see Good Luck, Cathrine Frost - a brilliant show about pregnancy, miscarriage and motherhood which somehow manages to talk about all these things with a lightness and a seriousness, whilst spanking Socrates on the bottom. Pippa leapt at the chance to interview Cathrine about her First Six Months and to discuss some of the themes of the show.
