The O'Leary sisters drop the ultimate bombshell and dive deep into why they're terrible at sharing baby news, pregnancy symptoms that make zero sense, and birth plans that might make your mom clutch her pearls. 

Main Topics & Discussion

Why We're the Worst at Pregnancy Announcements 

What happens when two sisters share a deep, inexplicable dread of telling people they're pregnant? We're getting real about the psychology behind announcement anxiety and why the concept of creating cute Instagram reveals makes us want to run for the hills (even thought we love to see others' pop up in our feeds!). Listen in to hear about the most awkward campfire pregnancy reveal in history and find out if you're the only one who feels weird about processing other people's excitement when you're barely processing your own.


The Pregnancy Symptom Showdown 

One sister is basically glowing while the other spent months feeling like she got hit by a truck - and we're diving into why every pregnancy hits so differently. Want to know which old wives' tales actually hold water? Curious about the real deal on pregnancy nutrition versus the "eat whatever you want" myth? We're sharing our unfiltered experiences about food aversions, hormone migraines, and why genetics apparently designed us to look six months pregnant at 13 weeks.


Birth Plans That Would Scandalize Your Mother-in-Law

Ready to hear some spicy takes on birth choices? We're talking home births, hospital politics, and what it really takes to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn't always listen. From water birth dreams to VBAC hopes, we're laying out our completely different approaches to bringing these babies into the world.
