Summary

In this episode, the girls open up about the complicated emotions that can come with birth and pregnancy. They talk honestly about C-section guilt and the pressure many moms feel to have a “natural” delivery — and what it’s like to process feelings of disappointment, anger, and healing afterward. They also share the reality of tough morning sickness, the trial-and-error search for relief, and how pregnancy can look and feel completely different each time. Plus, Abby shares a meaningful update about her rainbow baby and the mix of hope, gratitude, and vulnerability that comes with this season.
