This podcast is about a pregnancy that doesn’t end the way it should; about what happens when your baby is born too early to survive alone. It’s about the parents, the babies, and the doctors who save them. Hosted by award-winning novelist Francesca Segal, whose memoir, Mother Ship, inspired this podcast.
During the fifty-six days that her premature twins were in hospital, Francesca wrote a diary. That diary became a book, Mother Ship, and the incredible letters and emails from readers that began – and haven’t stopped – inspired this podcast. In each episode, Francesca will talk to friends and medics, parents and professionals about their experiences, so that new parents of premature babies feel supported and less alone. This is a place for the free exchange of stories, humour and support and information about prematurity and its consequences.

On this podcast I’ve tried to give voice to the mothers, and to make sure that all prematurity stories are told, even the hardest. But what’s it like from the other side? What is life like as a doctor, working in the perpetual crisis of a neonatal ward? Today Dr Roly Blumberg talks about the differences between planning a pregnancy and planning a birth, the rollercoaster ride of NICU, and what he wishes all his patients knew.
