6:11Yes, you do. And then the next day you feel completely great and normal. None of it makes sense to me. How? You do because you're pregnant. You're going through so many changes. When you feel that bad, it's because you're pregnant. But then why do I feel really good the next day? Because that's... Riddle me that. It's pregnancy, honey. So what's happening the next day? The baby's like, oh, it's all right, mummy. High five. I'll give you a good day today. The next day it's like, you were rude today. I'm going to really take you to the graveyard. Do you not remember that really sweet lady who said that she was so unwell, she got to the top of the escalators and had to lie down?

6:45Yeah, that is literally me. When you walk sometimes, like today, I feel light and airy and just really, apart from my trousers, literally cutting into my circulation. I need to strip it off. But otherwise, it just feels like you're walking through mud, thick, thick quicksand, and your legs are sinking beneath you, and you can't get them out. they're so heavy full of lead and then you look down and lo and behold they are heavy because they're so fat your feet and you just think they're not my ankles and they're not my feet the bones have grown no longer a petite foot let me tell you big fat hooves I have Sophie thinks she's getting a massive back no I'm convinced my ears have grown oh she thinks she thinks her back has grown like a turtle none of my bras fit and obviously that's for obvious reasons but as in like the actual back strap is snapping off because my back is widening my bones are expanding and I am becoming broad broader by the day and by the minute and what is the best thing about pregnancy is um my teeth are rotting you think that's funny it's not and you know what's so great is I literally said to my sister can you see the difference and she just couldn't keep a straight face because she was like what the fuck has happened to your teeth i've always had thick white teeth and these are not veneers guys these are my real teeth they have got a bit gray they're gray and like they i can they're see-through and they've chipped i've i'm going to the dentist again tomorrow but i don't know i might cancel it because i've had three bondings on my tooth that has never chipped.

8:30I bite into a fucking piece of cottage cheese and it chips. I don't understand what's happening. My teeth are rotting from pregnancy. They're see-through. Like, I look in the mirror and I'm like, I can see my tongue behind them. They're so thin. They're frail. Oh my God, you're making me die. And apparently it's actually a pregnancy thing. Oh my God. So I give you so much sympathy at the moment. No, this sounds bad. I'm going to rephrase this. Let me draw it back a second. I'm just completely at your, which I love actually, at your sort of disposal. Hang on a minute. Look, okay, we've just complained a lot, but like I'm not complaining a lot.

9:12I'm very grateful. I'm pregnant. It's fine. We're having a great time. I'm not whinging and whining every day. No, you're not at all. But I've been ill for the past few days. Like I've been really badly ill. Yeah, and he's been smothering his pregnant wife with kisses. No, no, I haven't. Riddle me that. No, I'm saying riddle me that. Riddle me this, riddle me that. It's like the third time you've said it. Listen, riddle me that. I've been ill for the past few days, like really, like badly ill, to the point where I had to go to bed for four hours in the middle of the day. That never happens to me, ever, ever.

9:47And what do I get from you? Oh God, if you're going to keep complaining like that, that's what you were saying to me. No, no, what I said was, why, if you're that ill, Are you smothering me with slobbery kisses? I am pregnant. I don't want to get ill. I already feel like shit every day. Why would you then give me your illness on top of that? You selfish bastard. Can I say one of the funniest things that Sophie's having? We didn't follow that pregnancy tip about putting a spoon underneath the pillow because Sophie's been having terrible dreams recently. Sophie had a really bad dream the other day That she gave birth to our child She gave birth to our child And the child came out a fully grown woman And the woman was Mexican No, no, no The woman, it's so funny The woman was the Mexican lady from Desperate Housewives No, she wasn't a lady it was Juanita Solis okay which is Gabrielle Solis' daughter and she's not a full grown woman she's eight years old and apparently Sophie was just playing around in a dream with her sister's baby and everyone kept saying but what about your child she's a full grown woman I don't care all of Jamie's family like were crying they were like wiping the out I was like you missed her she just did her fast steps and I was like holding my sister's baby like but isn't this what a baby is?

11:24Anyway, we would love it. We would love the baby no matter what, even if it comes out. I'm not sure my body would love it if I gave birth to an eight-year-old. It's so funny. We've both been having very strange dreams at the moment and I want anyone to let us know, does that happen during this sort of period? Is it because you're dreaming and I'm dreaming? I'm dreaming every single night that you're breaking up with me. Every single... No, it's strange. I don't know why. Every single night, I had a dream again last night that you didn't want to be with me. Really odd. Like the other night I had the same thing.

11:54The other night I had a dream that you didn't want to be with me. And the way I found out is through our agent. Our agent had to phone me up, Beth, and say, by the way, you have to stop messaging Sophie because she doesn't want to be with you. And I was like, what? Why is the agent telling me? Why is Beth phoning me up and telling you? I would have to go to Beth if that was the case. That's an awful dream. Like what other ones have you been having? Go and give it to me. I had a dream that you, we were at a party yeah and you did some a sexual act on a girl who i know who has two children and is like the most wholesome person ever what was sexual act was it you went down on her and anyway i'm in the dream and tally goes to me our very good friend tally he's been on the podcast goes why are you worried about it it's normal and i was like oh all right well i've just got to accept this then and then we get home and jamie looks at me and he goes do you think i text her as into the girl he had just licked out do you think i text her saying i miss it and i was like you fancy her and then you turned to me and you went heavily and it's so ingrained in my mind because you that is something you'd say you would say heavily you always say weird shit like that i would never say heavily you would be like i do not say that i agree i think you're 100 % word i would take someone out and then say heavenly heavenly or heavenly no you would be like i heavily fancy somebody oh i thought you said heavenly no heavily heavily heavily like you have no you would be like this you'd be like i heavily fancy you i would never say that yeah you have like very very strong vocabulary in bizarre ways like you like to make everything like a novel like you'd be like i heavily fancy you're so passionate and i went and you went i'm sorry, Sophie, I do.

13:42And then I woke myself up because I was so distraught. I tell you one of the best things about pregnancy, which it's taught me. Pregnancy has taught me patience. Patience is a virtue. Virtue is a grace. Riddle me that. Anyway, it has taught me patience. Because before, what used to happen is when you and I would have like maybe an argument or whatever, I would then very quickly, if you were to get angry or upset, I would then fight back with you fire with fire boy would he yeah you just wait guys wait for what when i tell you how fiery this little guy is so that would happen and now you're pregnant and emotions are all over the place and your hormones are changing you come on i'm not that bad you're making me out to be like some crazy person no you're you're wonderful honey but i didn't realize this it's like an amazing trick you would so you would get really frustrated or upset or emotional about something understandably and I would not fight back.

14:41I would just go, okay. In my head, I'd go, well, she's obviously having a tricky day because you're just going through lots of different things. And so I wouldn't fight back. 10 minutes later, you're absolutely chilled. I've been telling you for years. You're absolutely chilled. I've been telling you for years. Just leave me to my own devices for two minutes, five minutes, four minutes, and I will simmer down. But no, no, no. You're like a dog with a bone and you follow me all around that room. Sophie, Sophie, Sophie. It's never ending. but you did say that you've never loved me more yes i did he's but you've been really amazing you've been like so nice you've made me feel so like you've just been really great so i love you thank you you are incredible as well i gotta put it out there women who going through pregnancy and dealing with everything that's going on you know just congrats to you because it is a lot there's a lot of shenanigans that goes on there there is a lot of shenanigans that go on another thing which um i found one of the funniest things in the entire world do you remember the other day when you pulled up you pulled up your top and you went because there was something on your stomach yes melted chocolate

15:57and she puts chocolate on us no i don't i don't no i don't guys i i really don't i really don't But what's wrong is that it obviously dropped down my top, which is also just as disgusting. She thought it was a new birthmark. I was like, oh my God, because I've got all this weird pigmentation on my stomach. And I was like, oh, wow, another one's grown. And then I was like, no, just chocolate. It's just chocolate. I know, I know. Because my newest thing is like these raspberries and strawberries that are dipped in white chocolate, then dark chocolate. And like, fuck me. That is criminal offence.

16:32I go through three packets today. It's not right. Is that what you're going through? Because it was a new one, isn't there? Yeah, obviously. I'm ordering them 24-7. I was at... They're delicious. They're illegal. They are so good. But you know what's crazy? It's like we could just make them for 20p. But no, no. I'm ordering them for like£5.85. Probably more. It's lazy, aren't we? Can you talk about the pregnancy cravings that you're having? Pregnancy cravings. I'm like into sweet things. I'm like, okay, TMI. But I'm stopping with all the meat. because I think it was what was seriously issuing with my bowels.

17:06Oh, you weren't pooping. So I'm slowing down on all of that meat because it was like carnival style. I don't think it was quite right. So now I'm very much trying to eat a more balanced, healthy diet. So you're not craving a McDonald's anymore? Well, I would like to eat meat. I mean, I eat meat all the time, but I'm trying not to like chow down like beef bars like I was chowing down like five sausages a day. I think it's just enough is enough and you've just got to rein it in, Sophie. at some point or other. So I'm trying to rein that in. I'm trying to eat more kiwis. Kiwis with the skin on very high in fiber, helping everything move.

17:39That's good. Eggs, you know, all of those healthy things. So those are the cravings that you've been having? Yeah, well, popcorn. I'm just like obsessed with every type of popcorn there is. And crisps. Oh my God. Just divine. Do you ever get to a point where you're just like, it feels like a long time being pregnant? Does that ever happen? Yes. No, it doesn't. Does it really? Well, God, yeah. I've got loads left to go. I'm like, surely this is it at this point. It's mad. Well, we found out so early on. So some people find out at like 15 weeks. I found out two weeks pregnant. So then you have the whole nine months.

18:16So then you have, it's 10 months. I don't know where everyone gets nine months from. It's 40 fucking weeks. 40 weeks. You're pregnant for a year. You have a very long torso. I'm just going to... I've got a fucking tiny torso. That's why I'm showing so much. No, but you have a... It's lengthways. You're skinny and lanky. No, I don't. I have a really small stomach. Like, so short. My stomach is so short. I would say that your vagina to your, like, your stomach is... It's nothing. It's the same size as your penis. It's not. It's quite far. It is. It's not. It's like half of a ruler. 15 centimetres.

18:48I think it's about 15 centimetres. Absolute boss. What is that in inches? Seven inches. Yui, what is that? 5.9. Oh, it's nothing. Are you joking? look at these little booties out of resurface these are the shoes that you used to wear whenever sorry sorry that adhd mind just looked at my shoes and i'm wearing some boots right okay so when i first met jamie this is what he'd wear guys these booties um a chain a little bracelet and this is what when we were fast dating you would wear these booties all day and every day and that's why i was so shocked when i first stood next to you with bare feet because these give you a good five inches that's a kitten heel and then don't forget he puts his sliders in Sophie my sliders are not in here that's not that's for my plantar fasciitis your kitten heels the heelies no they're not they're plantar fasciitis shoes lifts sorry lifts to lift you up are you joking I don't have lifts in my shoes but you know what you should just get there is a brand called golden goose or whatever it's called and they have inbuilt lifts in Sophie I'm five foot nine I don't need any more height how tall do you actually think you are i am five foot nine that's what i am i'm not five foot ten and i'm taller than you you're not taller than me honey you're not taller than me barefoot bare foot to the ground yes hand on oath i am taller than you are not every morning you go whoa you're so tall and i'm like i've been this tall the whole time i am five foot nine and you can suck it okay because i'm five seven yes and i'm way taller than you and i'm taller than you you're not another pregnancy craving sophie has is scary movies which is the most exciting thing in the entire world for me because i love scary movies we're yet to watch one though can we please watch a horror movie tonight i would absolutely love to get out of here don't say that no i don't want to watch a horror movie you want to watch like the most scary of the scary and that's going to affect our baby because i'm going to be so jumpy that is going to jump the baby what we need to watch is like a serious thriller like blair witch project oh no i'd say that's a horror i'm talking more like the others that's terrifying yeah i know but ghosty i'm into not gory yeah it's not jumpy do you remember he's behind you what was that okay so me and my dad well we were very young but i had like this obsession with eating this one meal so we'd drive to this restaurant my mom me my sister and my dad my dad goes into the bathroom and there's a little boy in there and he looks behind my dad and he goes he's behind you and my dad comes out faced like a ghost and he says to my mom get up we're leaving and we pay the bill on leave he was so fucking scared that is terrifying i know

21:27absolutely terrifying yeah another one my friend had a niece and she kept saying there was a guy called johnny in the house and um there was once she was eating a jam donor and she wrote something on the car window with it and she and they were like what why are you doing that and she said Johnny told me to do it and it was like something scary with the jam with the jam and then she started sitting and everyone's hair would be up like this and people would be like what the hell and she was like Johnny stop it Sophie you're lying I'm not fucking lying Sophie you're lying I'm not lying she wrote with jam she wrote with jam or from the donut I can't I can't remember what she wrote like Johnny or something and she was like Johnny told me to do it and or she was like Johnny I don't want to do it and then she started writing with jam from the donut and then everyone's hair started standing up or like the chair would move over and she'd be like, Johnny, stop it.

22:19She was like three. Well, on that note, terrifying note, actually scared the life out of me. Should we go and do a little bit of Dictionary Corner? Oh boy, shall we? It's time for Dictionary, Dictionary, Dictionary Corner. Pregnancy edition. I want to know if you're ready to be a parent. So I have some words for you that are pregnancy related and I want you to tell me what they mean. Fontanellas. The soft spots in the back of a baby's head. Wait, what do you mean the soft spot? They have a soft spot. So that's why you have to be very careful holding their head. Their skull hasn't formed. So there's like a soft spot in the middle of their skull when they're newborns.

22:58And I don't know when it forms. I think around like six months. So you have to be very careful. You have to be very careful of the neck and very careful of that head. Sweet. That's great advice. Well, you should know that. Okay. Someone's not been reading their books. Here's another one, the vernix. The vagina. The white cheesy looking... The white cheesy skin that is on the baby that grows like around 19 to 20 weeks. This says the white cheesy looking protective covering newborns when they're first born. It's made of fatty acid, protein and water and acts as a moisturizing barrier for the baby's skin.

23:32Yeah. That just flakes off. Flakes off, bitch. And it's growing. so your baby comes out with like vernix all over it and they have like a thin layer of hair so that the vernix is like God you know a lot I know a lot yeah because I've been reading that app that I told you to download I'm listening to loads of stuff oh don't be pathetic no you're not I am give it to me go on test me on anything you want when are you allowed to feed a baby water when it's thirsty no you eejit sorry sorry what eejit Have you heard of Egypt, Ewy?

27:07From Anonymous. Okay, Anonymous, go. Me and my ex-boyfriend went to his grandma's for her annual New Year's Eve party. Oh, that must have been swell. It was a fantastic night, but we drank a lot. The next morning, I woke up next to my boyfriend and we had mud all over our hands. I woke up and I asked him, what happened? Were we crawling through the mud or something? He can remember either. But then ten minutes later, he came back from the toilet saying, Oh, God. He said he remembered that we'd gotten a bit frisky and he'd had to ask me to put a finger up his bum. Oh, God. I've got to revert that to myself now.

27:46No, I think you can't. Although at least seven of my fingers were muddy.

27:55I instantly remembered the whole thing to him was mortified. Up until this point I had refused to even go near there. But in my drunken stay it seemed that I had lost all inhibitions. He complained that it stung for a few days. But eventually I came round to find the story very funny. Safety said I haven't gone near anyone's bum hole since. and what a way to start the new year with a hungover realisation like that. Seven fingers. Not a thumb. Not a thumb. So wait. That's funny. Right, listen. So she, not all at once, but then he was bleeding. So she went, you would not want that with these claws.

28:39Those claws near my arsehole. To be honest, I would accept anything right now. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. What, you're like trying to climb in it? Yeah, she was burrowing. Hope she didn't have long nails. Fucking hell. Not the smell and the muddiness. No, no, no. Pick me an accent to do and I'll read it in accent. German. This is from Anonymous. Unbelievable. I have a labour story that I still laugh about to this day. You want me to continue this German? Okay. My first baby was£10.10. Beautiful boy. So then I came to having my second I was a little scared as they are typically bigger Just as long as I don't end up in the papers I told my husband £10.10 is fucking enormous Nearly£11 That is like a child My second baby was a girl And I ended up being a little lighter £10.03 Fuck me Phew Having big babies naturally meant there was a little damage below So after giving birth I was taken to the theater to get sorted.

29:45Lots of nurses and doctors were putting things back to normal down there. They did a very good job, I might add, but you can imagine the scene. Legs akimbo, heads down in private places, exhausted mother lying there. One particular nurse was very nice and kept smiling at me as I was being whittled back to recovery to see my hubby, a new baby girl. The lovely nurse says, Oh, I know your husband, we used to date. I often think about my husband's ex. has probably seen more of me than I have myself. I think I speak for most people. When we see our partner's ex, we want to look amazing. Dare I say better than them.

30:21Think I knocked it out of the park, this one. I can't believe I did that all in a German accent. I think that was really impressive, by the way. Thanks very much. Appreciate it. Secondly, to whoever you are... That's a lot, isn't it? Clap away. £11 and then£10. Oh, I'm thinking about the ex. God, you must be ruined out there. Would that rip? I mean, it's got to. That's what she was having operated. £11. That is absolutely enormous. Although my dad was like£10, five, and he shot out and nothing happened to my nana. Okay, I've got one more. My little boy is now 12 weeks old, but during my second trimester, I could not think of anything worse than having sex with my partner.

31:04Everything he did irritated me to the core. But let me tell you, by the third trimester, I could not keep away from him. So there's still hope for you, Jamie. Third trimester? Hmm. Also, word to wise Sophie, no one ever told me that straight after giving birth, a midwife would shove her fingers up my ass to check for any tearing. Up my ass? Let me tell you that this was not an enjoyable experience. Up my bum? Up your bum. Can't wait for that. Did they just put it up your bum? I don't know. It's the first I've heard of that.
