Shaughna Phillips and Holly Connolly had babies at almost exactly the same time and in Oh, Baby they share the ups and downs of being new mums. They're best mates but doing things a bit differently: Shaughna, who you'll know from Love island, is unexpectedly a single mum and Holly, a make-up artist and fertility campaigner is raising her daughter with her husband, who's not a first time Dad. They wouldn't have it any other way but their busy, high profile working lives have changed dramatically with the arrival of Lucia and Cici. Anxiety, body-confidence, post baby sex drive, childcare challenges - no subject is off limits as they share their new lives as parents in all its messy detail.
12. "Go And Get Your Mum And Tell Her To F*ck OFF"
With so much support from the public, Shaughna reveals how she dealt with the attention from Billy's arrest, and Holly shares just how important it is to take a gamble for your own livelihood as we make YOU the star of this episode as we round off the series. We are answering your dilemmas.. and NOTHING is off limits - struggling with unaccepting mothers in law, losing confidence in your appearance, and wanting to start a business? This is YOUR episode - your neighbourhood agony aunts will see you now... and how the hell we go about starting a business - do you take the gamble?
