In this bonus episode, Sam and Katie reflect on their conversation with midwife and ADHD specialist Laura Spence about the realities of pregnancy, birth and those chaotic first weeks with a baby when you have ADHD.
They share their own raw experiences of postnatal guilt, hormonal crashes, and the crushing weight of societal expectations- and how much easier it might have been if they’d understood ADHD’s role at the time. From the myth of the “blue day” to the hidden impact of overstimulation, they unpack the lessons they wish they’d known as new parents.
They also talk about the practical support that really makes a difference- freezer meals over flowers, friends who do a spot of cleaning instead of giving advice, and why asking for help is a strength, not a failure. It’s an honest, compassionate reflection on the hardest early days of parenting, and a reminder that if you struggled, you are far from alone.
