In this captivating episode of the How We're Doing It podcast, we openly share our personal pregnancy journey. Delving into the concerns that often occupy the minds of first-time parents, we touch upon pivotal moments, from the initial nerve-wracking appointments at 8 or 9 weeks to verify the pregnancy to genetic testing, the 20-week anatomy scan, and navigating the probabilities of miscarriage. We explore the highs and lows, including the unique challenges of morning (aka all day) sickness, the bliss of the second trimester, and the excitement of feeling that first kick. From maintaining fitness routines during pregnancy to the nuances of a good diet and considerations for vaginal versus C-section birth, we cover it all. Our conversation extends to emotional support for the pregnant partner, thoughtful gestures, and shared responsibilities like home chores. Dive into this episode for insights on cravings, food aversions, the essential pregnancy pillow, and the intricacies of intimacy during pregnancy. Throughout, we provide a wealth of resources, including popular applications like What to Expect, The Bump, Baby Center, and Pregnancy Podcasts such as Pregnancy Podcast 40 weeks, ensuring our audience is well-informed and supported on their own parenting journey. #PregnancyJourney #ParentingPodcast #NewParents #BabyOnTheWay
