Thanks for tuning in to another episode of the Spot Family Podcast!

 

Today is the next instalment in our series on early child development and pregnancy! We discuss how each pregnancy is different, what we expected versus the reality of what our bodies were asking for, and some ways each of our lives have improved over the last few months.

 

Bonnie shares a very personal scare that happened in her first few weeks, and Heidi gets honest about how her work life had to change earlier than realized (for the better).

 

You’ll also hear some top tips and tricks for surviving some of the more uncomfortable physical symptoms, as well as some recommendations for some (other) excellent podcasts to support you.

 

From the 12-week rule of secrecy to big boobs and nausea, this episode touches on all the things that make this time so scary, and wonderful! If you're looking for real and honest reflections on all the highs and lows of trimester one, tune in now to hear all this and more!

 

In this episode, we cover:

• Anxiety and mental health struggles in our pregnancies
• Bonnie shares the stressful story of an early bleed that looked like a miscarriage
• Dealing with the physical rollercoaster: nausea, fatigue, migraines, and food aversion
• How Heidi's highly active pre-pregnancy life had to change, for the better
• How much the preparation in trimester zero helped support their first trimester
• The importance of having a great support network
• And so much more!
