Episode 40: Mental Health, Hypnobirthing and Hip Hop

Our guest for this episode is actor and writer Jessica Pidsley, who tells us about her experience of postpartum psychosis. We discuss how she came through it, what warning signs to look for, and why you should never watch Deal or No Deal if you're psychotic.

Jessica chats about her blog, Mutha Courage, and what it's like to perform a one-woman show with a baby strapped to you. Plus there's some talk about hypnobirthing, and Helen attempts a Scottish accent. Sorry, Scotland.
