Summary

In this episode, I detail all of my pregnancy symptoms, thoughts, and feelings during weeks 16-19! While I've officially entered the honeymoon phase, it has not come without its low points. I share everything from the crash outs I’ve had while getting dressed, to dealing with complicated feelings around weight gain and body image, and why people's obsession with baby gender is starting to become offensive. I also discuss my quick trip to LA, the pure joy of finally feeling real baby kicks, and why I genuinely think we are all way too chill about women just existing in the world while growing a human.


Key Takeaway / Points: 

  • Why maternity denim will never be the same as real jeans

  • Starting pelvic floor physical therapy (& trying not to pee myself constantly)

  • How I’m finding body-neutrality with weight gain this pregnancy

  • The joy of a not finding out the sex of the baby until delivery

  • Baby kicks and the realness of this pregnancy setting in

  • Throwing up six times on the side of an LA highway and my 48-hour headache

  • Current food obsessions: chicken caesar wraps, Coldstone, & Ruffles chips
