This is touching.. I wish someone has known this when my father died when I was a kid. The lack of knowledge made me feel isolated, neglected and unwanted. Thank you so much.

Loved listening to these at the start of my pregnancy but at 38 weeks I had to switch one off today. Hearing the same chat over and over, it made me realise how boring motherhood is likely going to be and I can't stand it. Feel I'm making a huge mistake now.
