    Genevieve Turley on Her IVF Journey: "Chop my arm off, I just want a baby"
    Apr 13 2026
    "Chop my arm off, I just want a baby." This week on No Parental Guidance, we are joined by the incredible Genevieve Turley (@genevieveturleymua). From her high-pressure days as an RAF Burns & Plastics nurse to becoming a viral makeup sensation, Genevieve doesn't hold back on the realities of motherhood, IVF, and growing up way too fast. We dive deep into Genevieve’s emotional IVF journey; the stress of shrinking embryos and the moment she realised she only had one shot. Plus, Louise and Genevieve compare their wildly different starts to puberty (starting at 9 vs. 15!), Whether you’re navigating "ball bag" tired eyes, the stress of the school run, or the mental load of fertility treatment, this episode is a reminder that we are all just winging it.

  • Adam Kay Explains What’s Normal For Your Baby | No Parental Guidance

    Adam Kay Explains What’s Normal For Your Baby | No Parental Guidance
    Apr 6 2026
    This week on No Parental Guidance, we’re joined by former doctor and bestselling author Adam Kay for a hilarious, honest and slightly chaotic deep dive into your parenting dilemmas. From pregnancy fears to “is this normal?” moments, Adam answers your biggest questions, including concerns around gestational diabetes, measuring big during pregnancy, and why sometimes your baby just isn’t following the “rules”. We also get into the reality behind medical advice, why Google isn’t always your friend, and the truth about how accurate those routine pregnancy checks really are. And then… things take a turn. Adam shares some of the most shocking (and genuinely unbelievable) things he’s seen during his time as a doctor, including the kind of A&E stories that will stay with you forever :eyes: As always, it’s honest, funny and full of those moments that make you realise you’re definitely not the only one questioning everything. If you’ve ever spiralled over a symptom, questioned whether something is “normal”, or just wanted a doctor to answer your parenting questions without judgment, this episode is for you.
