00:00I had a consultation about freezing eggs because I was like, well, I might want one more baby,

00:07but I'm not in a position professionally.

00:08This is the, this is the timeline that women have to navigate a dad.

00:13If he wanted another baby, could just have one now, but I'm about to go on tour for about

00:17a year.

00:18Yeah.

00:19With me having a baby, isn't just gestating an infant.

00:23Like I then I'm very hands-on looking after them for a year afterwards.

00:27I've rescued them.

00:28I sleep with them.

00:29So professionally, I've just taken three years to do that twice.

00:33Yeah.

00:34Locked down in front of that.

00:35So I was like, what should I do in this time?

00:37Cause I can't even think about having another baby.

00:39I've decided for like a year.

00:41So I thought maybe I should freeze some eggs in this year.

00:43And, uh, the, the doctor was like, why do you want to do that?

00:47You already have three kids.

00:48I was like, yeah, you're right.

00:49Did he tell you to leave it, but you've also got some sperm that you bought off the internet

00:55as well.

00:56I mean, it's just good sometimes to have a little something in the, in the cupboard.

00:58I think, you know, if we learn nothing from a COVID it's be prepared.

01:02This is it.

01:03I think that I would never, I don't think I would actually use frozen eggs, but I think

01:08I would feel more comfortable having them.

01:10I don't know why.
