In this episode, Andrew and Holly speak to Sarah, a woman who got in touch with us to spread a positive message about being a single parent. Sarah decided to have a baby by herself, via IVF, and we chat to her about how she's feeling on the eve of being induced.

Plus, it seems even Madonna isn't exempt from the struggles of parenting teenagers.  She believes her relationship with her kids was ruined when she gave them a phone when they were 13.

Are you sick of going to baby showers?  Maybe it's time to mix things up.  Some women are opting to have a baby shower post-birth as a 'welcome to the world' party.  Some say it's superstition, some say it's just easier!

And in our nailed and failed segment, one of our listeners has a story that had Hol and Andrew cringing.
