In this episode we discuss how and why the body can change during pregnancy, acknowledge the difficulties of low self-esteem and poor body image, and explore simple ways to help restore your self-confidence and appreciation of your own body.

In this episode we explore Cheri's motivation for becoming a doula, and discuss why support in birth is so important! Plus a shoutout to feminism, for which we are forever grateful. Mwah ;)

In the second half of our After Birth episode we discuss diet, vaginal care, Mum's First Poo, and sex after birth! Also, in a rare moment for such positive people, we openly criticize a product. Tune in to hear more about the days following birth - and remember, you know yourself and your baby best! Find us on Instagram @cherithedoula and online at www.cherithedoula.com

In this episode we explore many peoples' experiences immediately after birth and in the days following. We discuss medical care, planning and preparation, sleep, nutrition and much more. This episode ran over time so we have split it into two parts - tune into episode 4 for the rest of the story! As always you can find more information through @cherithedoula on Instagram and on www.cherithedoula.com
