In this episode of Mom AF, Kaeli and Jess get raw and real about the emotional and physical rollercoaster that is pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. From irrational pregnancy rage ("I didn’t like him... he smelled") to tearing, episiotomies, and the fear of that first postpartum poop — they’re spilling it all.
They also break down the importance of advocating for yourself during labor, how relationships shift in pregnancy, and why pelvic floor therapy should be mandatory for every mom. This one’s packed with honesty, laughs, and the kind of real talk nobody warned you about (but definitely should have).
