This is a solo episode from me - after a little podcasting hiatus - where I share the messy truths of my second pregnancy. For me it is so important to normalise the full spectrum of emotions that pregnancy brings - and this is my personal experience, from my own perspective, recorded at 36 weeks. In this episode I share…
Preconception - from the conversations that needed to be had before we even decided to have a second baby to the way I prepped my physical body.
The early days - from finding out that I was pregnant, to extreme nausea and the anxiety that was triggered by that.
The surprising amount of grief that surfaced as my relationship with my daughter changed virtually overnight.
The gratitude - and importance - of having trusted friends to be truly honest with.
The temptation to compare second pregnancy to my first pregnancy - and the differences that I have noticed.
How this pregnancy has helped me stripped back the badge of 'productivity' pretty much from the moment I found out. And so much more!
