To date, we've talked mostly about what it's like to have a child - but in any debate, you need to hear both sides so in this week's episode, we talk to award-winning comedian Angela Barnes about her choice to remain child-free.

We discuss loving kids but being able to return them, the sacrifice of choosing not to have children and the joy of enjoying a meal without interruption. And Kate has had a revelation, thanks to watching her friend give birth...

CHILD-FREE BY CHOICE with Angela Barnes

To breed or not to breed? Find out on Maybe Baby — the podcast for the parentally undecided

What happens when a woman who’s always known she doesn’t want children starts to wonder if she might want kids after all? 

In brand new podcast Maybe Baby, Kate Lawler tackles a taboo subject that’s familiar to millions of women. Does she actually want to have children? 

Kate, her fiancé Boj and her celebrity friends explore every aspect of having offspring in a funny, thought-provoking podcast that’s full of new ideas and little-known information. From conception to raising toddlers to dealing with your very own grown ups, the goal is to help Kate and Boj decide once and for all if it’s baby or bust.

This is it! The last episode of season 2 of Maybe Baby and we're signing off with a megastar.

2020 really was the year of Giovanna Fletcher. Whether it was interviewing the Duchess of Cambridge on her hit podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby or winning I'm A Celeb or releasing not one but two books - she's a force of nature but one with the sunniest disposition.

We're so glad she could make time for us to chat about her lessons from motherhood for us but also what it was like to be the mother in the castle - and how you may as well have five kids! (Spoiler - we won't be).

You can find Gi's latest books below:

S2 Ep18 - The Season Finale with Giovanna Fletcher

We're closing in on the finish line and for all the talk, the discussion, the interviews - how ready are we, actually?

We've had 8 months to get ready - do we have all we need for Nuchky? Can we feed her? Can we transport her? Do we know what we're doing? It's also a good chance to air our weekly grievances as you realise that having a baby puts a sharp focus on your relationship and how you get on with each other.

With the birth just 3 weeks away, it's time to get our sh*t together properly and ensure we're ready for her arrival.

S2 Ep17 - How Prepared Are We?

One question that has been on our minds for a while now is how tough will those first twelve months be? Every journey is different for every woman but if you're going to ask anyone, why not ask an award-winning comedian who's literally written a book about it.

Enter Ellie Taylor, who is as honest and funny as you would expect. We cover how she changed her mind from being ambivalent to becoming a mother, the struggles she faced in the first few months and a story that may literally be out of Something About Mary.

Ellie's book "My Child and Other Mistakes: How to ruin your life in the best way possible" is available for pre-order from Amazon - you can find it at https://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Child-Other-Mistakes-possible/dp/1529362997.

S2 Ep16 - The First Twelve Months with Ellie Taylor

This episode is part-third trimester and part-therapy as we reach the business end of the pregnancy. Be ready to hear all the gory details but also a healthy dose of Boj vs Kate as we air our (very petty, very minor) recent grievances.

Be it tidying up, shouting at 3am or facing up the realities of giving birth in the height of the pandemic, getting closer to the date brings its added tensions as the nerves kick in.

S2 Ep15 - Cramps, Capillaries and Corned Beef Tummies: The Third Trimester

Children and sleep. It seems to be the main topic for so many parents wrangling with stubborn sleepers and it can have a major impact on the welfare of both parents and children. So to head off that little disaster, we called on Rosey Davidson AKA Just Chill Mama, sleep consultant extraordinaire to help us out of any potential jam.

We talk about sleep and a whole lot more, covering feeding, swaddling and the ever-divisive Gina Ford. It's a must-listen for any parents-to-be (saying that as people who found it super useful!)

You can find out more about Rosey and her company at justchillbabysleep.co.uk - you can also find her on Instagram under @just_chill_mama
