The Sinead Says Podcast

This weeks episode is very different… because Gemma’s waters unexpectedly broke early.
We’re recording in pyjamas, on bed rest, during an actual sleepover while navigating a real-life pregnancy plot twist.
Gemma shares the full story of being diagnosed with PPROM (Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes), the hospital visit, the moment everything changed, and what happens next as baby Murray may be arriving sooner than planned.
Between the chaos, tears, laughter, and hormone-fuelled hot takes, we talk honestly about pregnancy scares, motherhood realities, friendships showing up when it matters most, and how humour sometimes carries you through the hardest moments.
This episode is raw, unfiltered, emotional and very us.

If you’re pregnant and listening, this episode is your reminder that pregnancy doesn’t always follow the plan.
Information, support, and community matter more than perfection, please lean on professionals to get everything checked over don’t put off if you think you are making a big deal of something or unsure.

This week on Sinead & Gemma Say Too Much, we are back with another chaotic catch-up full of laughs, honest chats, and the kind of conversations you only have with your best friend. We take a deep dive into postpartum and answer your listener questions with nothing but raw honesty as always.

From navigating new mum life and the realities nobody prepares you for, to hormones and the random tangents we somehow always end up on, this episode is equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. Expect unfiltered stories, relatable moments, and plenty of “did we really just say that?” energy.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the honesty, or just need something that feels like a chat with your friends, we’ve got you.
Grab a cuppa, settle in, and enjoy as we say too much once again.

Welcome back to Sinead & Gemma Say Too Much! This week’s episode is a full deep dive into Sinead’s birth story with baby Sonny making his debut. From curb walking, clary sage, acupuncture and a full pre-labour party to waters breaking, 24 hours of EARLY labour, and the harsh reality that hypnobirthing can only do so much, Sinead shares every honest detail.
Things take a turn at hospital with slow progress and Sineads birth plan went out the window.

The girls read a listener message that turns into the sweetest surprise that leaves them in tears.
