Pregnancy Confessions: TMI Edition

from Growing · host Beth Ryan and Lilly Claxton

These are our confessions. Two heavily pregnant (and slightly cranky) midwives jump on the mic and… really bare all.This one is unhinged in the best possible way - a chat that’s equal parts silly, honest, and deeply relatable. We lean all the way into the TMI, covering everything from pregnancy cravings to sex dreams and libido, with a casual sprinkle of vulval varicosities and anal fissures (because nothing is off limits here). It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a big dose of solidarity for anyone in the thick of pregnancy - and a moment of silence for our poor husbands who were really on the receiving end of pregnancy irrits. We’re so grateful to be in your ears and appreciate your patience with us. Next week, we’ll be back with a real-time update on our postpartum transitions after welcoming our baby boys (!!) just four days apart in early March. 💤 Sponsored by ergoPouchA big thank you to ergoPouch — we are both huge lovers of their sleep suits and support, and currently deep in our cocoon swaddle era.Use our code BIRTHWITHBETH for 20% off sitewide*T&Cs*Excluding: Lyra Convertible Cot, Skye Cot, Sale, Gifts, Multibys, Promos, Deluxe Mattress, Gift Vouchers and can not be used in conjunction with anything else. Expires 11.59PM 30th April If this episode made you laugh or feel seen — please share it with a friend and leave us a review.
