Boj & Kate Have A Lot On Their Plate (Kate Lawler / Podmasters)

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.

We've spent so much time focusing on the early years that we didn't want to lose sight of the fact that kids grow up - so we spoke to comedy legend JENNY ECLAIR about her experiences with Phoebe, her daughter.

We hear all about how Jenny (unspectacularly) conceived, how she had to sack her child-minder for leaving her daughter with an arsonist and her thoughts on what Boj should do (!)

Published too late for the podcast but The Telegraph covered us for a piece that came out today - you can read it here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/family/parenting/kate-lawler-sometimes-feel-something-wrong-love-feel-not-conflicted/

Tell you what's a right laugh - trying to figure out what to call your offspring. Do you go traditional? Or modern? What about celeb names? What about avoiding celeb names? How about you pick a name and then Amazon decide to call their new AI assistant the same thing?!

In a nutshell, it's not easy. So let us guide you through some of our thought processes, how we went about it and also why you can't call your kid Stompy in Germany.

Not a title we'd ever imagine having to use but that's 2020 for you. We're very excited to introduce the second guest for this season's Maybe Baby, Sky broadcaster Sarah-Jane Mee.

With a second lockdown in place in one shape or form across the UK, we wanted to talk to someone who'd experienced pregnancy and birth in these heavily restricted times.

From baby showers over Zoom to pre-eclampsia complications, Sarah-Jane's unique experiences are a very modern tale of pregnancy in a pandemic and with some handy pointers for Kate, we hope you all find this as hugely insightful as we did.

Why didn't anyone tell us the first trimester was going to be so hard?

Ok, lots of people did but we didn't listen. From fibbing to family & friends, feeling hungover despite not drinking alcohol, to craving fish finger sandwiches for breakfast, the first 12 weeks are an emotional rollercoaster that we certainly didn't prepare for.

So here's us letting you know what to expect if you've not yet done it; or if you have, hopefully you can relate/laugh at our naivety.

We're very excited to welcome our first guest onto Season 2 of Maybe Baby - the wonderful, animal-loving Gemma Atkinson.

With so many thoughts and questions about having a baby when you already have two of the furry kind, we thought Gemma was the perfect guest for this episode. 

How do we introduce the baby to the dogs? When will they start to form a bond? Will our relationship change with the dogs once the poop nugget arrives?

Gemma has some great tips for anyone on a similar journey and tells us why she thought she'd end up with a family of hounds rather than humans and why Gorka might need to stock up on antihistamines.

It's a big moment in any couple's pregnancy - the moment when you first see your baby. This was a time of both joy & trepidation for us, as we both wanted to see our new team member but naturally, we experienced all the fears about the baby’s health that come with any pregnancy.

Find out how we got on and also how we settled on ‘poop nugget’ for our baby’s name while in the womb - oh, and why you shouldn't experiment with fashion online.

BONUS PODCAST TIME! Well, kind of bonus - we recorded so much in our half way Q&A we decided to split it over two episodes. It's only short but we field a few more of your questions and Kate talks about how this week, she might actually not be so adverse to the whole idea. This week.

If you have any more questions for us, drop us a line to maybebabycast@gmail.com and we'll try and answer them in the next episodes.

The next episode is someone who is childless by choice - by popular request!

So for all the debate about having children - how did we know we could actually conceive? Only one way to find out...we visited one of London's leading fertility clinics to undertake a "Fit for Fertility" test. Dr Marie Wren is deputy director at The Lister Fertility Clinic and has helped hundreds of couples through their fertility journey - so who better to help us?

There's laughs, there's tears (actual tears) and a lot to learn - and things aren't all as rosy as we might like.

The Lister Fertility Clinic is part of HCA Healthcare. For more info about fertility, visit www.ivf.org.uk for more info.

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.

This week is a round up of the second trimester - the highs, the lows, the unreachable parts (more on that in the episode). The last 12 weeks have been such a drastic change so we give you the lowdown on what it's been like. All whilst Boj drinks G&Ts and Kate demands Turkish Delights.

Moving house - it's one of the main things the universe obliges you to do when you have a kid on the way. You start worrying about things like storage or schools and all of a sudden, you're walking around a garden centre admiring their range of tomato plants on a Sunday morning.

As you can guess, this week's episode is about us joining the chase for space as we prepare to welcome the poop nugget into the world. We share tips on how to survive a house move, why we're already bad parents (to our dogs) and why moving this time was infinitely better than last time.

It's podclash time! Maybe Baby meets Birth Stories in this episode as we welcome midwife extraordinaire CLEMMIE HOOPER to the podcast.

Clemmie's extensive experience in the NHS positions her perfectly to give us some answers, right? Maybe not all the ones that Kate would want - but we delve into the many types of twins, how you can tell if they're identical (spoiler - it's your ears!) and the strangest things she's seen on duty.

If you followed us in season 1, you'll know we spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do about our conception conundrum. Should we? Shouldn't we? Could we, even?

Time ticked on and as things changed for both us and the world, Kate realised it was maybe time to give it a go. This season is her & Boj's story, going from pregnancy to birth with some guests along the way to help offer advice, so we don't completely balls it up.

Episode 1 is all about the journey to conception - is there anyway of stopping our parents from listening? You'll hear about what helped change Kate's mind, how it happened and why you shouldn't just throw a pregnancy test at your partner without warning.

We'll be getting more audience involvement in the coming weeks so send us an email to maybebabycast@gmail.com. If you listen on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, leave us a review as we'll be reading some out each week.

On the mission to find out what it's really like to have kids, Kate & Boj explore the process of making them. Joining them for arguably the most fun part of having kids are Vogue Williams & Spencer Matthews, stars of the hit E4 show "Spencer, Vogue and Baby Too". As brand new parents, they share their own conception story, how they discovered they were pregnant and reveal exactly how many kids they want to have (spoiler - we're talking double figures here).

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...

It's a question that seems to get asked of every parent - when's the next one coming?

It's another perception that we wanted to challenge on the podcast, so who better to talk to than BRYONY GORDON - journalist, author and mental health advocate. And whilst this podcast is about having another kid, it's also about life, gratefulness and the noises guinea pigs make.

Also we reminisce about Christmas growing up (turns out the biggest Christmas song in Oz is about gravy), Noa gets ill which naturally turns everything upside down and we drag Nick out of his bed to discuss being hit by the QUAD-DEMIC.

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:

Episode 3. Giving birth. A truly frightening prospect, even with the wonders of modern science - so to put our minds at rest, we called on one of the most loved faces on British TV, ALISON HAMMOND to give us her view on it. We talk caesarians, pesseries, sweeps (again...sorry) and the idea of pushing a baby with Boj's enormous head out.

We’re finally here - it’s gender reveal time! The most tricky part of this has been keeping it a secret and we’ve both accidentally let slip at least once or twice (cue a frantic comment delete or swearing work colleagues to secrecy over the last few months).

We don’t want to spoil it for you in case you don’t know already, so listen in; you’ll also hear all about how everything managed to go wrong in our house this week and some top facts about the magical umbilical cord. No wait, come back…!

The topic of birth is firmly on Kate's mind this week as we talk to Celebs Go Dating's Anna Williamson. Kate has a big fear of childbirth and Anna, having given birth both spontaneously and abdominally, is perfectly positioned to share her experience to help Kate see what it's like.

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.

So it's episode 2 and it's arguably the best/worst/scariest part of the process - pregnancy. Dispelling the myths and filling our empty brains full of facts, it's the comedy duo SCUMMY MUMMIES who are on hand to help us understand what's really involved. Did you know you get free dentistry? And do you know what a Doula is? And whatever you do, don't ask Kate's parents to look after your photo albums...

Becoming a mother is one of the single biggest factors behind women dropping out of the work force - but why don't do we do something to stop 50% of our workforce potentially disappearing?

It's something very much on Kate's mind which is why we brought Mother Pukka (aka Anna Whitehouse) onto the show to discuss how she's been campaigning for workplaces to offer more flexibility and the impact of the pandemic on the campaign. But of course, we cover so much more - on how Anna & her husband Matt have written three books together, how they keep the spark alive after having children and we even get to meet the family.

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

We've reached half way! Except we haven't really, we just didn't think "a third of a way Q&A" worked as well.

This episode is all about your questions - we cover some of the old episodes but also fertility, adoption, baby names and most importantly of all, Boj does his impression of a Garage MC.

We had so many questions that we decided to split this over two weekends - so the next instalment will be out on 29th September. Until then, enjoy the waffle and don't forget to follow us on Insta (thekatelawler & thenotoriousboj) and if you want to get in touch, drop us a line at maybebabycast@gmail.com.

"And now, the end is near, so I face the final curtain"

Bit dramatic but we are reaching the conclusion of season 1 of Maybe Baby, so forgive us if we're a bit sad to see the end.

We were wracking our brains for what to do as a final episode when we hit upon the idea of interviewing each other - we thought it'd help us see what's changed and how we feel now.

So tune in to find out:

• Which guest we'd want to babysit our child
• What features we'd choose from each other for our child (and our parents!)
• Some hot-takes on private school

And a lot more! And listen in to the end to find out our plans for the future...

This week we went hunting for Dads and caught ourselves a whopper - it's none other than musician, actor and reality TV conqueror, Matt Willis.

It’s not an exaggeration to say it was amazing speaking to Matt - getting to hear not only about his family life but also the events in his life that helped shape him. We discussed everything from battling addictions, the huge role his wife & kids play in his life and their approach to privacy for their children.

It's the penultimate episode of the series and it's time to talk to our parents - or more specifically, Boj's Mum, Suzanne. You can finally hear what she actually sounds like!

Given our differing views on having kids, we wanted to talk to her about her interesting life, how it shaped her decisions around having a family and the experience of bringing up children. Also, how Boj's Dad failed to fill up his car at the crucial moment...

Maybe Baby - the podcast for the parentally undecided, hosted by Virgin Radio's Kate Lawler and her fiancé, Boj.

Maybe Baby was inspired by the couple’s real-life ongoing discussions around having children. Kate has always been against whereas Boj saw himself as a potential Dad-to-be. Not wanting to hand back her engagement ring just yet, Kate suggested they explore what it’s really like to be parents, with a view to putting Boj off. Boj naturally, is hoping for the opposite effect.

The first episode featuring TWO very special guests is coming very, very soon...but for now, here's the trailer!
