This weeks episode is very different… because Gemma’s waters unexpectedly broke early.

We’re recording in pyjamas, on bed rest, during an actual sleepover while navigating a real-life pregnancy plot twist.

Gemma shares the full story of being diagnosed with PPROM (Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes), the hospital visit, the moment everything changed, and what happens next as baby Murray may be arriving sooner than planned.

Between the chaos, tears, laughter, and hormone-fuelled hot takes, we talk honestly about pregnancy scares, motherhood realities, friendships showing up when it matters most, and how humour sometimes carries you through the hardest moments.

This episode is raw, unfiltered, emotional and very us.

If you’re pregnant and listening, this episode is your reminder that pregnancy doesn’t always follow the plan.

Information, support, and community matter more than perfection, please lean on professionals to get everything checked over don’t put off if you think you are making a big deal of something or unsure.
