Summary

In this solo episode, I dive into all things pregnancy and body image, from why this pregnancy feels different from the first; to the confusing concept of glamorizing my first pregnancy; to how I’ve been feeling in my pregnant body so far. I share details about the discomfort I currently feel in my body, not feeling confident in clothes or with my appearance, and the simultaneous guilt that comes with critiquing my body image. I also discuss mourning my past body confidence and acceptance, what I’m anxious about regarding the second half of my pregnancy and the unknowns ahead, and how I’m trying to practice gratitude for my body moving forward.

Key Takeaway / Points:

0:00.0	The following podcast is a deer media production.
0:04.1	Hello, fam.
0:05.3	We are back to the old days of Freckled 3D and Friends podcasting where I'm in my bed under
0:11.6	my sheets by myself, rambling and recording this solo episode.
0:17.6	I am testing out doing these solos in my bedroom and I actually have plans to like try and
0:23.7	build out something in my office that makes the sound better because the office is just

1:24.8	that as often as I can for guests but for solo ones this just feels easier for me right
1:32.6	now and I'm all about leaning into the easy so speaking of pregnancy I said this on my stories
1:39.0	and it's a topic I've been discussing at nauseam with myself my journal my therapist my husband
