Pregnancy Week 9 - OMG: I’m pregnant!
In this episode we’ll cover all you need to know about Week 9 of pregnancy. We’re calling it the “Wait, I’m pregnant? I’m pregnant! Ohmigod I’m pregnant” period. This is the week when, whether you’ve known you’re expecting since before you missed your period (thank you, First Response!), or just figured it out and are still in shock, it’s beginning to feel REAL, people.

Pregnancy Week 10 - Getting Ready for the Big Reveal
At 10 weeks, you’ve finally come to terms with your pregnancy. Now it’s time to start thinking about spreading the word to your friends and family, if you haven’t already (hands up if you Instagrammed your positive pregnancy test). Most people start sharing the big news around 12 weeks, but with a status update just a finger tap away, folks are starting to post their reveals even sooner. Whether you choose to speak out now or later, the trend seems to be to go big, bold and creative with your pregnancy reveal.

Pregnancy Week 11 - Pregnancy - The Ultimate Relationship Test?
At 11 weeks, you and your partner are still fairly new to this whole pregnancy thing. And it can take some adjusting. (You won’t be the only one with major mood swings over these next few months.) If you’re in a relationship, you might be wondering how having a baby will impact your partnership: Will it make it stronger? Will it be a test of your commitment? The truth is, probably both. A strong, healthy relationship will be more important than ever once a new human being comes along, but it certainly won’t always come easy.

Pregnancy Week 12 - Hi, boss. I’m pregnant!
It’s Week 12 and you’ve made it to the last week of your first trimester. Congrats!

But before you blast the news on Facebook, you’ll want to tell your boss, so they aren’t the last to find out after Dave in accounting. This week’s episode covers everything you need to know about being pregnant at work.

Pregnancy Week 13 - Who Says We Can’t Eat for Two?
It’s Week 13 and, for many of you, the fog of the first trimester is finally lifting: You’re probably starting to feel like your old self again, minus the constant nausea and irksome food aversions. But out with the old and in with the new: With the start of the second trimester often comes extreme hunger. It sometimes feels like your body is making up for everything it missed out on in the last three months and wants to eat all food in its path. Good thing you’re eating for two... But are you, really?

Pregnancy Week 14 - The TMI Episode
At Week 14 you’re truly in your second trimester—and with it comes a slew of body changes that you’re probably starting to notice—from top to bottom. Yup, there’s a lot more to pregnancy than just growing a baby bump, even for those seemingly blessed with a “perfect” bump on a “perfect” body. There’s nary an inch of your body that goes untouched during these 9 months, not always for the worst (hello, big boobs and lustrous hair!). And sometimes for the worst (thanks but no thanks pregnancy acne). In today’s TMI episode, we focus on your changing pregnant body.

Customer Reviews
We need to be less focused on weight
Some really wonderful advice in here but the common discussions about putting on “weight”, with negative undertones (for example having to break the habit of having two breakfasts - why is this a bad habit? Well done you for nourishing your body!) could be quite damaging to some people. I think we have a responsibility to move away from weight stigma, this is particularly relevant during pregnancy.
Out of touch
One of the many podcasts made by a bunch of middle class white ladies. Wreaks of privilege and out of touch assumptions. And, frankly, too much anxiety inducing discussion on diet, food, clothes, body image...the list goes on.
I’m 7 weeks pregnant for the first time and got to about episode for week 15 in this podcast and finally had enough, “I’m not fat, I’m pregnant!”? Shame on you.
Ladies, do not start tracking your macros and micros and do not worry about your weight during pregnancy. If you cannot afford organics that’s also fine! You do not look fat at 16 weeks you look like you just have a normal body! Which comes in many shapes! Do not apologise or feel the need to explain your body!
Big Fail
Started listening to this podcast with high hopes. It’s not positive or uplifting, a bunch of opinionated women giving advice on how things should or shouldn’t be during pregnancy. For example: baby showers should be an all women affair? Really? What about women who’s mothers and grandmothers have died and have only had the strong men in their life left to raise them. I just feel myself constantly eye rolling during their discussions. This won’t serve you. Go and find something positive.
