Pregnancy & the Outdoors - Matrescence, Part 1

from She Explores · host Rachel Barrett, Hailey Hirst, Rukmini Halliwell, Gale Straub

Pregnancy is a time of drastic physical change, and one full of expectation and anxieties, pressure and pain, hope and uncertainty. And for those of us who value time spent outside, it’s natural that we'd carry that forward into our pregnancies as much as we can. Continuing to hike, or surf, or whatever else we like to do, lets us still feel like ourselves and helps us cope with the symptoms and stresses of this entire process. But as you’ll hear, it’s often not that simple.In the first of a two-part series on matrescence, guest host Hailey Hirst spoke with two outdoor-loving moms about their pregnancies, Rukmini Halliwell and Rachel Barrett. And because there is no “one story” to tell about pregnancy, we also invited listeners in to share their reflections via voice memos. Whether or not you’ve experienced pregnancy, our hope is that you’ll listen and feel heard and illuminated.Featured in this episode: Rukmini Halliwell & Rachel BarrettVoice Memos featured: Liz, Erin Rodman, Rachel Molodovan, Julia Renn, Jennifer Smith, Arielle Courtney, Karen, Stephanie VanDoorn-Kazyak, and Randi.
