Ep.3 - Pregnancy…the longest dry January of our lives
Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of miscarriage and IVF.In this episode, we pick up where we left off: we've just found out we're pregnant, and now we're diving into the rollercoaster of all three trimesters. We recorded this one with a fancy orange wine called Methodic - because after pregnancy (even 3.5 years later), we deserved something bougie.Vicky’s pregnancy was mostly magical (minus the anxious first trimester and miscarriage fears), while Emma’s was mostly miserable - think nausea, exhaustion, and a body that fully rebelled thanks to hypermobility. We chat scans, weird symptoms (pregnancy rhinitis?!), and the endless list of things you’re suddenly “not allowed” to do.There’s hypnobirthing, affirmations, baby classes, and covid chaos. Plus: a no-alcohol Christmas, baby showers, and the wonderful fact that you CAN have soft cheese, as long as it's piping hot (with a whole slice of bread obvs).We’re not experts - just two mums oversharing our way through motherhood, one trimester (and one wine) at a time.

Ep.2 - Making a baby...spilling the tea (not the wine) on conception
Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of infertility, miscarriage and IVF. In this episode of It Takes a Vineyard, we pop open a bottle of Emma's favourite savvy b, and spill everything (except the wine, thank god) - from scheduled sex and peeing in the dark to IVF, PGD, PCOS and TTC (jeez, who knew conception had so many acronyms?!). Vicky dives into her reading list, including 'It Starts with the Egg' and a mystery PCOS book we promise to name once we remember it. We also spent a solid chunk of time trying to remember the word 'phthalates' (spoiler: we didn't). We're not doctors, scientists, or fertility gurus - just two mums sharing our very real journeys to conception, helped along by wine. Because sometimes, the road to motherhood needs a little Sauvignon. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep.1 - It takes a vineyard...and a baby class
Welcome to our first episode of It takes a Vineyard, a podcast where two besties share the highs and the lows of parenting - all while enjoying a wine. This week, we spill the wine (La Vielle Ferme, aka Chicken Wine) and the story of how baby classes turned two strangers into besties. From prenatal prep to ‘our first date’, we unpack why signing up for those classes isn’t just good for your baby - it’s a lifeline for mums too. Expect laughs, a little chaos and plenty of clinks along the way. So pour a glass and join us as we set out on our mission to prove that parenting wisdom flows better with wine. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It takes a village to raise a child… but let’s be honest, a vineyard helps. Join two U.K. mums and best friends, Vicky & Emma, as we navigate the highs, lows and ‘what the heck?!’s of parenting babies, toddlers and everything in between - armed with emotional support wine and zero expertise. From fertility struggles and baby classes to threenagers and the importance of ‘mum time’, we’re keeping it real, raw and ridiculously honest. Expect laughter, over sharing and wine fuelled chats that feel like a girls night in.We’re not here to give advice - we’re just surviving motherhood one glass at a time. Hosted on Acast.
