“The first thing she said to me was, can you pick me up now?" That's Giorgina Falcone on meeting her daughter Summer-Rae after her C-section.
She had to tell her no… not for six weeks.
Giorgina and I only met recently and talked for hours, so she had to come on. She's mum to Summer-Rae and Dylan, and this one is the full mum chat. Two emergency C-sections, including two days of labour before Dylan, how she was living with her sister, Giovanna, who she called her live-in midwife when she gave birth, and the NCT group that left her feeling worse - before the friendships that came later.
We also talk about mourning the life you had (not the person you were), the loneliness nobody warns you about, and perimenopause hitting so hard she couldn't remember her kids' names.
And along the way she tells me how her pregnancy underwear brand, MuthaProject, was born, and why we ALL need underwear like this!
