What They Definitely Do Not Tell You About Pregnancy

Pregnancy: nobody tells you the half of it. I sit down with April Davis of The Vagina Blog for a candid, unfiltered conversation about what actually happens to your body during pregnancy and childbirth, and what it means for your sexuality afterward. From doulas vs. midwives to postpartum body image to taking sexy photos during pregnancy, this episode is not for the faint of heart (but absolutely is for anyone who's ever been or wants to be pregnant).

Today's Questions

  • How do you feel empowered and advocate for yourself as a patient in healthcare settings?
  • Birth control and reproductive healthcare shaming — how do we push back?
  • What can you actually expect when you're expecting? What are the surprises?
  • What is a doula and how is it different than a midwife—and how do you find the right fit?
  • How do you recognize when something's going wrong during childbirth and what are your options?
  • Epidurals — are they necessary?
  • How does body image and sexuality shift postpartum and during pregnancy?
  • How can a partner feel more included in the process and embrace their partner's evolving body?
  • How do you become more comfortable naked and taking sexy photos?
