Ep 184. Pregnancy Anxiety

CHLOE BROTHERIDGE
About this episode

In this solo episode I'm talking about my own experience of pregnancy so far, the anxiety that's cropped up, and my own personal and professional advice on how to tackle it.


Please note that I talk about sensitive topics like miscarriage in this episode.


I'm sharing:

  • How to deal with the uncertainty of the first 12-weeks
  • How I'm preparing for a calm birth - How to tackle pregnancy worries
  • And my favourite breathing technique for feeling calmer fast
