We discuss the feeling when you first meet your newborn baby, and the differences of immediate bonding between each mother, we discuss how we are born as mothers when our babies are born and this changes us as a person, and we throw in some chat about maternity leave and the hilarious preconceived ideas about how we will spend this year of leisure!!!
We also have some really interesting chats surrounding that mumma bear protective instinct that comes in to play when our little baby come into the world...... and much much more!
