Summary

When it comes to having children, what happens when you’re just not sure?


This week, Vicky Pattison and husband Ercan Ramadan join Gi for a chat about the pressure to decide, the different paths available—from having children to adoption, surrogacy, or choosing a child-free life—and why the answer isn’t always simple.


Vicky also opens up about her childhood, shaped by complex family dynamics and her relationship with her dad, and how that’s influenced her fears about becoming a mum.


Vicky Pattison: Maybe, baby? is available now on C4 Streaming.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
