Mother Up The Myth of Bouncing Back: Why Do We Judge On How We Look Rather Than How We Feel?
This week Gianna and Kacie are sharing their birth experiences (the good, the bad and the slightly grotesque) along with the topic of bounce back culture. It might be time for that term (and the pressure) to be banned. A diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum, the transition from one to two kids and an unmedicated, super quick second labor, Gianna shares a few of the experiences that went into her decision making of hanging up the pregnancy skates. Kacie shares what it was like to make a cross country move in the third trimester and missing out on the nesting phase. Join the ladies as they talk about weight gain, baby blues, and a whole lot more!
