Amanda Holden | HAPPY MUM, HAPPY BABY: THE PODCAST | AD

[@littlemissgrumpy939]

This episode really got to me.. The part where Amanda talks about what the midwife said about her son not wanting to leave her, destroyed me... All the love to you Amanda (and any other parent who had to go through something similar...)

[@rebeccajarjoura4618]

SAME and idk why but I keep watching back from time to time

[@philippa230493]

Amanda speaks of Theo so beautifully, and it sounds like Lexi and Hollie are wonderful little girls. The part about 'not my brother Theo mummy' made me laugh so much! Gorgeous. xx

[@catarinassalgado]

This "show", this podcast you're doing... this is public service. This is amazing and incredibly inspiring. Thank you.

[@TisYerWan]

I'm not even a mammy yet but I'm hooked on these podcasts!! You don't hear these stories from other mums in real life but these things are a reality. One day I'd like to be a mum but I also want to go into it with my eyes wide open, otherwise I could never be prepared for what might happen. Thank you for this podcast. ❤ xx

[@AphroditeD]

Pregnancy and baby loss is beyond horrible. It's one of my biggest fears. These women and parents oh my god I can't even imagine the pain and strength. My heart goes out to everyone going through this pain. Much love

[@maryammx8755]

I would love Anna Sacconejoly on Happy Mum Happy Baby 💚🧡

[@helendukes675]

Maryammx me too!

[@TheReevesy2012]

Yes!

[@TheWritersPlayground]

I’ve always adored Amanda but I had no idea she went through this. She’s so incredibly strong.

[@emilycollis7636]

Sobbed and laughed my way through this podcast in equal measure. Amanda is amazing. Its good to hear about the reality. 3 people i know have had to go through giving birth to their angels and so many more have miscarried yet we dont mention it ever. We need to talk more openly as it is so common yet unheard about.xxx

[@ssiissoojj]

The way she talked about everything is something else. Extraordinary. Amazing podcast.

[@SamWplayss]

Such an honest and raw conversation. Crying on my desk . I feel for any woman who has to go through such a sad experience. So grateful for 2 healthy children.

[@rebeccajarjoura4618]

I just loved this podcast so much for so many reasons. This shows why I love Amanda so much. She's being genuine and vulnerable. She talks really beautifully about all her children and especially Theo. She's strong and gorgeous ❤️

[@LauraRevnic]

I'm not even a mom but I absolutely love watching these and I think it's so important to cover #blaw. This episode got me very emotional but I'm very grateful for Amanda that she shared her story with us. Thank you Giovanna for doing all these podcasts! Lots of love xx

[@greendaymad4eva]

I don’t have any children but I know that I do want them in the future. I am so great full for Amanda for sharing her story. You never know (heaven forbid) if this will happen to yourself or someone close to you. So in some ways it’s good to hear this story and know that you can get through this traumatic, heartbreaking, unexplainable and pretty sh*t life altering situation. Well done Amanda for sharing this. And well done to Gi as well for giving her this platform to share this story along with many others you’ve had on. Xx

[@FeastUK]

Well I cried all the way through this..

[@itstoughxx]

You're not alone xx

[@lorevlees]

having my first kid in 3 weeks time and listening to (also reading) happy mum happy baby has totally changed my mind on being a mom and going trough labor, my body, to know that I have the right to decide what I want for my baby and not being afraid of speaking out thinking that only the doctors know what's best. Thanks Gi

[@daniellenutter811]

yay! listening whilst working - still can't tell you how happy hearing the Happy Mum, Happy Baby theme music makes me. I'm 23, no kids and no plans to but I just love this podcast and love you Giovanna - you're truly a one in a million, inspirational, pure, kind and selfless human. One day, when I have kids, i know I'll feel better about it all thanks to you x x x

[@tinykirstie]

What an absolute fabulous lady Amanda is. To go through all of that and still have such a positive outlook.💕

[@margaretmackenzie8202]

Heartfelt podcast xxx

[@aimiemorley783]

This is so raw and real x

[@LouLou-zv6ql]

Amazing woman! I cannot imagine the heart ache she and many other women have been through! I have a 16 month old and I’m 29 weeks pregnant and I feel extremely lucky to have what I have. Story’s like this make you appreciate everything you have in life! My heart goes out to everyone ever effected by baby loss ❤️

[@aoifehickey6295]

What an amazing woman, so brave in her honesty and so inspiring with her story. Her love for Chris, her two girls and her Lost boy Theo is beautiful to see xxx

[@beckywallace3979]

My baby is 8 weeks old now and I can't thank you enough gi for these podcasts. I don't think anyone or anything can prepare you for having a baby and it's nice to hear from other mums that it's normal to feel the way I'm feeling. Thank you gi xx

[@KerriEngland]

Just been listening to this on Spotify. What a rollercoaster. As someone who has a 10 month old and knows I want to try for a second in a year or two, it makes me terrified to try, but then heading her talk about Holly fills me with the love I have for my daughter and the realisation that we can't be scared to try. Children are wonderful and Mummies and Daddies are so strong. It's so important that it is known and people are able to talk about it and get the support they need. So important to never forget those sleeping angels, don't let fear stop people from remembering or talking.

[@KatieTassell]

I had my baby at 27 weeks and although he survived, it was very hard being in the hospital bed recovering without a baby. They bought another woman into recovery and were talking to her about breastfeeding and I actually asked to leave the room and got moved straight into a private room. It is absolutely necessary for a woman without their baby to be in a private room away from it. Hearing the babies breaks your heart!

[@cherrywallis]

This was a joy to listen to. You're both wonderful women.

[@whatthekidsdidnext5977]

I've watched to so many of these videos, all have been great, but this one in particular got to me and i've finally subscribed! I didn't realise just how funny, strong and empowering a woman Amanda Holden was. She is just amazing!!! Absolutely incredible podcast, a pleasure to watch x x x

[@emhrtly]

Listening while at the gym! BIG MISTAKE, almost in tears, this is so emotional! All my love to you Amanda 💞

[@hassanisdodi1403]

That's lovely

[@jessicahulbert4210]

Amanda you are an amazing women, I cried when I read about Theo in your book and iv just cried again.

[@rosiebrockie4904]

So so sad. Children are such a blessing

[@tinkjackjackmama9885]

What a horrible thing to have to go through, my heart goes out to anyone that has been through this 🧡 x

[@pcb4043]

Watching this for the 3rd time! How strong is Amanda and I just love how supportive Gi is! ❤️👏

[@helendukes675]

Amanda is amazing. I love all the episodes but this one was so powerful and honest. I think she’s amazing x

[@samanthamorris8977]

Such an amazing woman, i can't imagine what she's gone through.

[@AmyLouiseHazelRoseLoves]

Wow so emotional but what a show of pure woman power and strength and funny too .. this was wonderful to watch .. god bless amanda .. well done gi another great pod xoxoxoxo

[@sarahsearle9598]

This was so lovely to hear. Heart breaking to hear what Amanda went through but such an important topic to talk about! Well done both of you xx

[@lionelkashila663]

[@charmax88]

I was thinking what an amazing guest Amanda would be for the next series, SO pleased when this popped up in my subscriptions. It's so nice to hear from different people's experiences

[@elliemahoney5530]

Thank you for covering #blaw2018. I may have cried my eyes out hearing Amanda talk about Theo, but breaking the silence is so important x

[@marissarodgers3374]

Hearing her story made me cry 💔😕

[@beckytheo031]

This is so beautiful. It really got my heart but to be open about this. You are an incredible lady ! X

[@victorialaight4116]

Loved this one. Shut the door at work as knew I'd be in floods of tears x

[@SoSallyo]

So weird to not hear “Fisher Price!” But love Hello Fresh and have discovered some of my best meals that way. Thankfully, I’ve never gone through baby loss, my heart goes out to any incredible women who have gone through that. I struggled with PCOS and TTC and that was heartbreaking enough seeing negative month after month. Big hugs to anyone reading this who is struggling x x x

[@lauranitram7784]

Loved this episode. Thank you both for being so wonderfully honest and lovely x x x

[@rosiebrockie4904]

Also - my mum told me that after I was born my dad took my outside while my mum got some rest. I was crying and a midwife came into the corridor and said I’m sorry but can you take her further down the corridor/into another room because their was a mother in another room who’s baby had died. Heartbreaking, ever since she told me I’ve often thought about that baby and the mother

[@charlottehardy1158]

Cried and laughed through this, loved it 💞💞💞

[@paigebaker1495]

Jheeze I am an emotional wreck over this!! Xx

[@sittiayeesha_]

Kate Beckinsale should do happy mum happy baby!!! She seems funny hahahaha

[@daefnii]

Before coming to my actually comment I want to say that I love these podcast and the fact that they don't shy away from difficult topics like this one. Also it is awful and unimaginable the pain that one goes through when this happens and I feel for everyone who had to go through this. That being said, I find it a pity, that obstetricians are so often put down like that! We are here to try to help women/couples through a hardship like this. And while we usually don't get as close to the people as midwives do, we still very much feel for them! I'm not a native English speaker but I'm sure "empty-handed" wasn't meant like it was taken....and I'm also pretty sure that there were also reassuring words preceding or following that term, but they just got lost/forgotten in the context because of that one word... Sadly it's a pretty common thing that if a doctor says something that patients don't want to hear or take the wrong way they get put down. But if they do, say and handle everything how you expect them to, there's rarely any words of acknowledgement... Also, there are reasons why sometimes we advise on certain things (that maybe patients don't want to hear)! And while 18 months is longer than what I know we would recommend, it definitely makes sense to wait a while (we usually recommend 9 to 12 months) after a c-section and even more so after a second one! It has nothing to do with the baby being still born but everything about the operation itself and the risk that come with such a short time in between. What Ms Holden went through is one part (and should already be enough to make someone consider a longer waiting period) but also there's the risk of the uterus rupturing before the (planned) birth date and if that happens there is usually very little chance for the baby surviving. Wouldn't you want to be on the safe side, especially after going through such a horrible event?!
