Joy Randolph: “I Nearly Died During Pregnancy” — Survival, NICU & Taking Back Control
Joy Randolph’s first experience of motherhood began with survival. During her first pregnancy, Joy experienced a life-threatening medical complication while her baby spent time in NICU. That baby would go on to become a healthy elite athlete, and Joy would later have two further healthy pregnancies — but the experience fundamentally changed the way she approached pregnancy, birth and maternity care. In this episode, Joy joins Raychel Addo to talk openly about what it means to become a mother while fighting to survive, the emotional aftermath of NICU and finding the courage to become pregnant again after trauma. They discuss how Joy’s relationship with maternity care changed, the balance between trusting medical professionals and advocating for yourself, Caesarean birth, informed choice and Joy’s experience of a maternal-assisted C-section. They also explore a much bigger question: can a birth be medically successful and still be traumatic for the mother? Joy explains why those experiences ultimately led her to create ShapeCare, designed to help mothers better understand their care, risks and options so they can feel more informed and involved in their pregnancy experience. A powerful conversation about survival, choice, resilience and what truly good maternity care can look like.

“I Hid My Pregnancy”: Motherhood, Trauma & Breaking Cycles with Danielle Coleman
Danielle Coleman hid her pregnancy from her friends — and some didn’t know she had a son until after he turned one. In this episode of Milk & Mummies, Danielle joins Raychel for a deeply open conversation about why she chose privacy during pregnancy, her experiences surrounding conception, and how trauma, trust and survival shaped her journey into motherhood. They explore the difference between protection and hypervigilance, the behaviours we inherit from our families and cultures, setting boundaries after becoming a parent, and the difficult work of breaking generational cycles. Danielle also shares her thoughts on emotional regulation, raising her son without unconsciously passing on her own wounds, and what motherhood has taught her about herself. It’s a conversation about motherhood, survival, privacy, boundaries — and deciding what stops with you. ⚠️ Content note: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault, trauma and difficult experiences surrounding pregnancy and conception.

Selma Nicholls: Motherhood, Representation & Building Looks Like Me
