Made In Chelsea's Lucy Watson opens up on her 18 hour labour

This week, we are joined by Made in Chelsea royalty turned business mogul and vegan mum, Lucy Watson! Lucy gets incredibly honest about her journey into motherhood, from the dramatic birth of her son to the reality of breastfeeding for 14 months. Lucy opens up about her intense birth experience, revealing that she had to be induced because the cord was wrapped around her son’s neck and shoulders. After 18 hours of labour, she shares the moment she realised she couldn't go any further and had to transition to an emergency C-section. We talk about the immense respect we have for our bodies and the pressure we put on ourselves during birth. From feeling "so shy" to feed in public to the reality of being left exposed when a baby suddenly pops off, Lucy doesn't hold back. She describes the breastfeeding struggle and why she felt judged for continuing to nurse until 14 months. Lucy reflects on her time on Made in Chelsea, explaining why she ultimately chose to leave the show to protect her relationship with James. She talks about the "fiery" persona the show enhanced and how her identity has shifted now that she’s a mum who misses her son the second he goes to bed. Obviously we discuss raising a vegan baby, dealing with "meltdowns," and the "fail/win" of finally giving in to screen time to survive a car journey. Plus, Hannah and Louise share their own wins and fails of the week, including a very awkward call from school about a "smacking" incident! This episode is proudly sponsor.
