Beyond the Bump

Why am I feeling the pressure to bounce back? Turning down the noise on pregnancy and post partum body image - with Dr. Pree, prenatal psychologist


Listen Later

Why do we feel so much pressure to “bounce back” after having a baby? This week on Beyond the Bump, we chat with the lovely Dr. Pree, a prenatal psychologist, all about the unrealistic expectations around pregnancy and postpartum body image. We talk about where this pressure comes from, why it’s so damn hard to ignore, and how we can start tuning it out. Dr. Pree shares real, practical tips to help you feel more at home in your body—no matter what stage you’re in. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and felt the weight of “getting your body back,” this one’s for you. It’s honest, supportive, and just the reminder we all need.

As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛
