About this episode

If you've ever pondered "is it normal to feel this way in the first trimester?" then this is the episode for you. Pulll up a chair and a mocktail because Britany is going through all the things she wish she knew about the first trimester. Britany is here to be your voice, your friend, your shoulder to cry on if you're feeling like the first trimester is hard AF (newsflash: it may possibly be the hardest part of pregnancy other than the birth itself). 

We're talking about the loneliness of not telling friends/family, anxiety around baby health unknowns and learning how to communicate with your partner, doctor and yourself in a brand new way.
