Susan is a generous and caring human being, and it's been lovely to watch her have a little family of her own. During this episode, Susan speaks about how her stressful job took a toll on her fertility and is now expecting a second baby, a little sooner than expected. 

This episode of the Motherlode touches on the following topics:


  • Work stress affecting fertility
  • Gestational diabetes
  • Induced labour
  • Breastfeeding and introducing formula
  • Grandparents
  • Chillaxed parenting
  • Surprise baby
  • Small gaps between pregnancies

As we do in each episode, we also talk about all things parenting - from how we were raised, the pregnancy,  the early days and the present.
