At 9 months pregnant Ruth was preparing to welcome her first baby into the world. This time in our lives is transformative in so many ways - but Ruth had no idea of what was to come. And here in this episode she takes us through one of the most remarkable stories we’ve ever told on this podcast. A brain tumour diagnosis, an emergency section and a stroke, one day after her son was born which immediately paralysed her on the left side.Ruth fought her way back to her baby boy, she proved the experts wrong by getting home to him, by learning to walk again, by growing stronger every day. 5 years on, mothering one handed, Ruth explains how she had a choice and she chose to do everything in her power to be as strong as she possibly could for her baby. A remarkable woman, a remarkable mindset, a remarkable mother.  WaterWipes is one of the most essential products for every mum from that first nappy change to those messy weaning months.

This week Sinead is joined by comedian Julie Jay for an uplifting, ball juggling mam chat. Her latest show “Oops, This is Toxic” is a massive success, described by Joanne McNally as a “Joy to watch” and by Tommy Tiernan as “the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time”.A pessimist by nature Julie shares how she never believed motherhood would be something she’d ever be fortunate enough to live - it was something that happened to other people, but not for her. Meeting husband Fred Cooke & bringing Ted into the world in 2020 changed all that.And here we are reminded that we never know what lies ahead - but a sense of humour most certainly helps.  WaterWipes is one of the most essential products for every mum from that first nappy change to those messy weaning months.
