Giving Birth, with Lauren Leonelli

The world around us is more complicated than ever before, but thankfully Lauren is back from her month of maternity leave so at least one thing is back to normal. Jen and Lauren bring you up to date on how they’re both coping with everything that is going on, and all things BABY! Lauren gives her thoughts on old wives tales, what it’s like to parent a newborn amidst a pandemic and protests, how she feels about alcohol now that the baby is here and why Jen is onboard, the moment she realized she was going into labor and walks us through every detail of her experience, what a contraction really feels like, how she landed on the baby’s name and his current nicknames, the main baby items you need at the hospital and right when you get home, how having her own baby is different from when she was nannying, what breastfeeding is like and the various ways biology takes over, how to know if you’re ready for sex, working out and other normal activities, and how bringing a newborn into the world has affected her relationship!
