39, Single & Ready for Motherhood - Laura Cunningham


Listen Later

In this final episode of everymum the podcast season 2 supported by WaterWipes, our host Sinead O’Moore talks to Confetti Magazine Editor and author Laura Cunningham about her experience of becoming a mum at 39 to baby Ziggy and as a single woman choosing to lovingly co-parent her baby boy. 


We talk about the sequence of events we assume will happen for us in our 30’s, Laura’s pandemic pregnancy, induction and ultimate emergency c-section, having her best friend as her birth partner, the incredible love and coming out of lockdown as a mother figuring it all out, one baby step at a time.


In 2020, women are more empowered, supported and now choosing how and when they become mothers. 

Motherhood shouldn’t have to be dependent on finding the right partner, or being at a specific age because life doesn’t always work out that way. Careers, opportunities, independence or ending a relationship shouldn’t have to compete with our fertility – because there is never a perfect time and all we have is now.
