About this episode

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we're going to tackle a topic that many of you may relate to: keeping your pregnancy a secret during those early stages. 

I remember this all too well with BOTH of my pregnancies...cue the image of me stealthily filling an empty beer bottle with water – gotta love those clever hacks!
