Brendan O'Connor · Maria Walsh MEP: “It takes a village – that’s the image I’m leaning on, as a gay, single mum-to-be" · 9 May 2026 podcast

But the scare of miscarry is an incredible fear.

And for some, I'm privileged to say that right now I feel incredibly healthy.

My baby's healthy.

We're on track, good size, great heartbeat.

But for others, that's not a lived experience.

And

I think the more we give space to that story, the more we're able to support it.

And I have to say, in that moment, I thought, I was kicking myself that I didn't let people in to support me because it's an incredibly hard journey when your brain is telling you one thing and your body is doing something else.

Yeah.

Well, bear in mind, my mother, Noreen, has three grandbabies.

We're a real recession family.

My sister's married with two kids in Australia.

My brother's married with one kid in California.

So she didn't have the opportunity, you know, grandkids running in and out.

So, but she has, she's been telling, she was telling me for a long time.

And now that you ask that question, do you realize how much in trouble I am that...

that I didn't tell her.

And I think in many ways she gets it that I had to do this journey on my own.

And now since I've told her... When did you tell her?

Over Easter weekend.
