Conceiving, pregnancy and becoming a Mum are the most life changing events we have ever experienced. Each of them has brought us an incredible amount of joy, gratitude and taught us so much about ourselves as well as what we value in life. We also talk about the challenges we learnt to navigate through and practical ways we protected our recovery as we became mothers. Despite both having suffered from eating disorders in the past, we have some differences in our stories as well as commonalities that we connected on. We have been pregnant and given birth to two babies each within months of one another. Throughout our pregnancies and motherhood we have chatted off air about our experiences, so we're excited to chat on air with all of you in the hope it will be helpful or interesting to listeners.

Trigger warning: in this episode we talk about baby loss, miscarriage and fertility treatments. 

Topics covered:

• Our conceiving and pregnancy stories
• Fears about whether we can have kids
• Orthorexic messages during pregnancy
• How we protected our recoveries 
• How life has changed since becoming Mums
• What our kids have taught us
• Fears of children suffering from eating disorders and how to reduce their chances
