Episode 27: NEWBORNS! and Madagascar – a musical adventure

NEWBORNS!

Just when you think there are few stranger things than pregnancy, along comes a newborn. And, just like no two pregnancies are alike, the same remains true for new motherhood. Some new moms take to new babies like fairies in a forest, while others feel trapped in an apocalyptic upside-down that no-one really likes to talk about. That’s why, this week, we’re talking about our experience as mothers to newborns.

Tune in to hear our take on the fourth trimester and comment on this episode so we know we’re not alone! Let us know how those first few months were for you. Good or bad, there are #nojudgies.

We also talk to Jill Gerard, producer and director at the People's Theatre in Johannesburg, about the upcoming children's musical, Madagascar.
