After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd.

This week I share my chat with Eilís who talks me through her one pregnancy and the birth of her daughter. Together with her wife Laura, Eilís conceived her baby via reciprocal IVF. She shares so much from how life looked through pregnancy, partner support and just navigating life whilst trying to focus on what lay ahead. Eilís then shares her birth story. She was induced and later gave birth to her daughter vaginally. What followed was rare but resulted in emergency surgery and multiple blood transfusions. I loved chat with Eilís for so many reason. I’m so grateful she shared as much as she did.

In this week’s episode I share my chat with Jess who talks me through her one pregnancy and the birth of her little girl. We chat through discovering she was pregnant, pregnancy itself and then into her induction. We often hear of stories around inductions with women waiting days for their baby to arrive. This wasn’t the case for Jess but infact the complete opposite. After feeling the effects of the induction she was examined and discovered she was 2.5cm dilated, she felt relief hearing this. She was getting somewhere. A short time later she felt a change in her body a “drop”. Her baby was in her arms 45 mins later!

They formed a deep connection giving her that extra level of support. Nikki revisits her son’s birth, the following hours and into the early days of motherhood. She describes feeling a shift in her mood which she was prepared for as she previously met with the mental heath team.

In this next story I share my chat with Angel who revisit the birth of hr son, Barra. Angel opted for homebirth mostly with the support of her local maternity hospital.

She shares the vulnerability labour can bring about explaining her experience in such a gorgeous way. Angel birthed her baby with the support of her partner Cathal, midwife Colette and doula Elisha.

This week I share part two of Paige's story. This episode is very different to Paige's first two pregnancies and births as she suffered with severe vertigo. Paige was crippled with constant vomiting and dizziness whilst also trying to manage daily life. She revisits multiple hospital trips and doctors appointments to try and find a solution to her illness. At 38 weeks Paige was induced which was a decision made together with her consultant. Unfortunately, her wishes were heard but not listened to as she repeatedly asked for an epidural but it wasn't administered in time. Paige talks us through her experience, the following days and her decision to write a letter of complaint to the hospital .
