Body Image in Pregnany: The Expectations, The Language, The Truth.

Just a heads up, there is the occasional F-bomb is dropped in this episode, so if you have little ears around make sure you have your ear-buds in.

In this episode, I sit down with Alice Worthy, aka The Modern Doula, to talk about why pregnancy can be such a vulnerable time for body image, and how we can protect our minds (and hearts) through it. Alice supports women through pregnancy, birth and beyond on the Central Coast, and she brings the perfect mix of practical wisdom and warm, “you’ve got this” energy.

We get honest about the gap between expectations and reality (hello, “glow” that never shows), why society celebrates a big bump but shames a post-baby body, and how the words we use, with ourselves and with each other, can make or break a new mum’s day.
