Andrea Catherwood who hosts the podcast said: " The best bit of being a mum is having the opportunity to enjoy all those everyday loving moments with your baby that you've been imagining throughout your pregnancy. From personal experience, I know that unexpected circumstances can mean that those opportunities can sometimes be limited and that mums may need extra support and help to do even the ordinary things that most parents take for granted.
