In this episode, I sit down with Lauren Elizabeth to discuss all things pregnancy and the emotional rollercoaster of preparing for your child to enter the world. Lauren talks about her first trimester experience and struggling to navigate medications, feeling shameful and lazy when battling pregnancy fatigue, and not always being able to connect to the baby in your womb. She also shares what she’s most anxious about for postpartum and how she’s proactively preparing, how being raised by a single mother and having an absent father affected her relationship with her partner and how she worked through her resentment, and why she’s most excited about discovering her inner child once her baby is born.
