For adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms, every choice matters.
Tramfya offers self-injection or intravenous infusion from the start.
Tramfya is administered as injections under the skin or infusions through a vein every four weeks, followed by injections under the skin every four or eight weeks. If your doctor decides that you can self-inject Tramfya, proper training is required. Tramfya is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease and adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. Serious allergic reactions, increased risk of infections or lower ability to fight them, and liver problems may occur. Before treatment, get checked for infections and tuberculosis. Tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, or need a vaccine. Explore what's possible. Ask your doctor about Tramfya today.

Hello, you're listening to Parenting Hell with...
Josh Widdicombe (2:22)
Baby, can you say Rob Beckett?
Rob Beckett (2:29)
Oh.
SPEAKER_5 (2:29)
Can you say Josh Widdicombe?
Rob Beckett (2:36)
Alkysound heartbeat. Well, you tried.
Josh Widdicombe (2:39)
Yeah, that is good. That's a twist.
Rob Beckett (2:41)
There we go. It's a bit different. We've not had that before.
Josh Widdicombe (2:44)
Okay. I want to know how they've done this, though. Hi, Rob and Josh. I'm hoping this will work. It did.
This is our minus three month old currently unnamed baby. As you can tell from the baby's accent, we live in Bedford. I was at the infamous Josh Bedford show last year. Infamous Josh Bedford show last year.
Rob Beckett (3:00)
What happened at Bedford?
Josh Widdicombe (3:02)
It was my first tour show.
No, it was my first warm up, and it was like a Monday night in Bedford, and it was just feral. There was just like drunks and heckling. It went well, but I would say I learned zero about the tour.
Rob Beckett (3:17)
Fair enough.
Josh Widdicombe (3:17)
And then in the break, I got locked out of the dressing room because I'd forgotten the code to get back in. And so I had to stand outside the dressing room, which was also the toilet queue.
Rob Beckett (3:26)
Oh, with the audience?
Josh Widdicombe (3:27)
With the audience.
Rob Beckett (3:28)
Oh, how did I not know about this? Did you tell me?
Josh Widdicombe (3:31)
Yeah, but it was, what was it? It wasn't last year. It was like three years ago, yeah. Listen to the podcast from the start, but only just venturing into parenthood. The podcast has been wonderful all the years, and I suspect I will start from the beginning again during some of the long nights ahead, from Robin and Baby, currently minus one month. PS. Loved Strictly. They sent out Half Midnight last night.
Rob Beckett (3:52)
Lovely.
Josh Widdicombe (3:53)
Can I ask a question? Do you think she's gone to the ultrasound and then gone, do you mind if I just record this?
SPEAKER_5 (4:01)
Maybe, or do they not get videos now? Videos now, yeah.
Rob Beckett (4:04)
And you just recorded the sound from the baby's heartbeat?
