As someone who's father was certainly not like Anton, it is so incredibly healing to know that good dad's do exist.
Oh my goodness this was wonderful.. Open to talk about anything, funny, sensitive, gentle, whimsical, and fabulous to watch and listen to.
Giovanna, the perfect host, and Anton the perfect guest, what an utter delight, from start to finish.
Seeing the pride in Anton's face, as he talked about Hannah (talking about the pregnancy journey) and his children was heart warming.
My oldest daughter had PCOS (similar debilitating pain issues every month) and was told at just 16 that she would nvever have children (that really p*ssed me off, the Doc should not have been so blunt) and also seeing her in so much pain each time was very hard..
She passed away last year, very suddenly, from recently diagnosed heart issues at just 38.
Luckily my Darling Daughter *DID* have a child, just the one, and my grandaughter (oldest grandchild) is amazing and is now 18.
Sending my heartiest best wishes to you Gi, and here's to many more amazing interviews.
Caio bella from Wales.
Hearing Anton and Gi talk about endometriosis (something I have battled with chronically for 20+ years) is really refreshing. Thank you!
There is not enough talk about the disease
The world needs more Anton du Bekes
Omg, loved Anton before. Love him even more now. Lucky Hannah.
In 1991-92 we had IVF we had to pay privately. I had to go through injections, scans being poked about!!! I had to travel to Oxford for my treatment to do this took quite a while to get it sorted. It came down to unexplained infertility so no one to blame. I was working when I first started my treatment and after a month of doing the treatment I was made redundant so money we stretched luckily we have a lovely friend who was a pharmacist and got our drugs at cost price. That was amazing helped us so much. So hard for both of us and can relate to Anton and his wife adventure. We had one attempt and luckily got pregnant, found out I was pregnant on my birthday!!! Amy was born in Feb 1992 and didnt think we would have any other children but without any treatment we had our second daughter. We are truly blessed they are now 32 and 28 years old!!! Thank you for sharing Gi and Anton xxx
Wow! That's such a good outcome for you.❤
That was just amazing! One of the best interviews ever, and I have laughed and cried, and then laughed again. Thank you both - you made my day.
What a beautiful interview❤...... Anton is a complete sweetheart❤
Beautiful interview,I can relate to ivf cos my girl went through it,a wonderful grandson he is, thank you Anton x😊
I watch all your podcasts, but this one is one of the best.
Well done again xx
What a lovely genuine man Anton is .Such a lovely interview and Giovanni has a lovely interview manner and so sincere .xxl
Always listen to your podcast but wow what a brilliant one with Anton so down to earth and the honest of him also what acknowledgement he has for women and the love for his wife and children thanks for bringing a tear to my eye to see humidity in a pure gentleman may you always have the luck of the world that you deserve ❤
My husband and I are about to do IVF and this video meant so much to me. I'm in tears. Thank you for sharing you story and advocating for women's health and empowering them. I have severe endometreosis and hope that we can have our miracle too.
Good luck.❤
Loved this interview, I'm crying for Hannah and Anton and the heartache of ivf but the joy at the end but also my daughter who went through the same. I was blessed to be with her and hubby when she was first told there was a baby...oh what joy and at 6 years old we have a wonderful granddaughter ❤
A lovely interview, made me laugh and cry. I wish more men felt and behaved like Anton in regards to their children, i.e. putting them first, how everything changes and it becomes about them. His love and pride for Hannah and the children is adorable. What a lovely family they must be, they are very lucky.
This was the most wonderful Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast. Antonio is a fantastic guest, and Gio asks a question and just lets Anton talk. Just bloomin' wonderful. ♥️ ❤❤
Howling!😂 I love Anton but this makes me love him more! I’ve been through 5 cycles of ICSI and it’s so hard- it’s so wonderful to hear a man talking about it so openly, eloquently but with some humour also.
What a wonderful man Anton du Beke is, his wife and children must be so proud to be his family 💕
Pure joy. What wonderful company. Absolutely agree with everything Anton shared. This made me happy 😊
I just LOVE him 😭 Endo gal here and this whole chat is SO refreshing. “Not every single woman just has a period” 😭😭😭
My sister had severe endo for decades and we chatted about it a few years in, as a man I have no experience of what it period is, so I asked for a candid answer as I was worried for her by the name of endo and as a pre med student. It broke my heart to learn what the reality of it is, more men need these chats.
Loved this podcast Gi, possibly my favourite! ❤
I have always loved Anton ,I loved the conversation 💕 I laughed 😊 I cried 😥 ,he has a great Sense of humour x
This was a brilliant one! What a positive man.
I love this man , he gets it ladies he really gets it❤❤
I had the honour of meeting Anton last year. He’s down to earth
Thank you Anton for highlighting the significance of endometriosis ❤
Omgosh that podcast was brilliant ❤❤
30secs in, and I already know Anton is going to make me cry.... Happy or sad tears... Who knows 🙈🤣👌🏼🥰
Love it Gi! What a lovely man xxx
My sister is elderly now but I felt the same way about her endometriosis. Stayed undiagnosed and then too late. Thankfully now more awareness of this condition.
Lovely! Good advice from Anton. Genuine.
So lovely ❤
Such a lovely interview ❤
Wonderful x
I sadly couldn't have children because of endometriosis ending in an hysterectomy after treatment over many years
Fascinating! What did anton do for a job before strictly?
Beautiful ❤
What a lovely man!
