What They Definitely Do Not Tell You About Pregnancy

Welcome back to Asking for Myself, where I ask all the questions you're too afraid to. In this episode, I am joined by April Davis of The Vagina Blog (@thevaginablog) to, of course, discuss all things vaginas. We exactly did we talk about?

  • Feeling empowered and advocating for yourself as a patient in healthcare settings
  • Birth control and reproductive healthcare shaming
  • What to expect when you're not expecting, but you know, also when you are expecting - pregnancy and childbirth are a trip!
  • What a doula is and how it's different than a midwife (and, how to find the right fit for your birthing needs)
  • How to recognize when something's going wrong during childbirth and what your options are in the moment
  • Epidurals and if they're necessary
  • Body image and sexuality postpartum and during pregnancy
  • How the partner of a pregnant person can feel more included in the process and embrace their partner's evolving body 
  • How to become more comfortable naked and taking sexy photos

    • This conversation is not for the faint of heart, but wow was it super eye-opening for me! Let's get into it.
