Ever wondered why thoughtless comments about pregnancy sizes are still a thing? In this episode, we share personal experiences of pregnancy, shedding light on the insensitive comments many expectant mothers face. We discuss the psychological and emotional impact of such remarks, offering both humorous and poignant reflections. Alongside these stories, we recount a peculiar parking incident in our apartment complex, illustrating the everyday annoyances that often come with motherhood.
We also explore the vital aspects of postpartum support and recovery, emphasising the importance of having a strong support system in place. Through our own stories and reflections, we offer practical advice on nourishing oneself, managing household chores, and seeking help from friends, family, or professionals like doulas and pelvic floor physios. By highlighting the small yet significant acts of kindness that can make a big difference, we aim to provide valuable insights for new and expecting mums.
Additionally, we discuss the significance of setting and communicating boundaries as new parents. Sharing personal anecdotes, we emphasise the need to protect the precious time with your newborn and partner while managing the guilt of limiting visitors. We also touch on essential postpartum items, breastfeeding aids, and innovative tools that can ease the journey of motherhood. Finally, we reflect on the beauty of pre-birth rituals like baby blessings and the importance of celebrating and supporting each other, not just during significant life events but in everyday moments as well.
