Pregnant Bitchez

This week, we talk about little people, big transitions. From potty training, to big kid beds, and all the fucked up shit they say to us in between. Being a toddler mom is not for the faint of heart.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

Our guest this week is Marlie Cohen, a mom of 2 and a fitness expert who knows how to balance being a busy mom and staying healthy. We discuss what it’s like to make the decision to have 2 or 3 kids, why it’s so important to take care of your body before and after birth and learn some tips and tricks for postpartum support. We also learn what it was like for her to navigate motherhood in the ‘picture perfect’ Instagram era and why she feels so strongly about sharing her life in full - the good, the bad, and everything in between.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez 

Sleep is like that hot guy in the coffee shop. You know you want it, but you can’t have it. As a mom, sleep is all you want but it seems impossible to achieve. We’ve tried ALL the sleep training methods and talk about what worked, what didn’t work and what we recommend to at least get SOME sleep. Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

When you become a mom, you shed your old self to make room for a new version of you. We talk about what it’s like to navigate your new identity as a mom, becoming the default parent, deciding who to leave your child with when you go back to work, and how the hell we’re supposed to juggle it all. Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez 

Women should get a fucking medal for we put ourselves through with breastfeeding. We talk about the ups and downs of breastfeeding, which pump we love best, the decision to use formula, and whether our boobs will ever look the same again. Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

If you’ve ever wondered what a natural birth is like, Jessie is here to spill all the details. She talks about what it was like with no epidural, her postpartum care with a Midwife, and early life with a newborn. We also circle back to Amanda’s experience in the NICU.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

The day we become pregnant is the day we start asking ourselves - do I need this or that? And it never stops. We talk about navigating information overload, our favourite products and our hot list of what you need vs. don’t need.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

Postpartum feels like an entirely new journey. We discuss hormones, caring for down there, 6-week check ups and getting cleared for sex, and the importance of building your mom community to get through it all.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

You deliver the baby and then what? We talk about all the firsts - first night in hospital, your first poo, baby’s first poo, and breastfeeding for the first time. And we discuss what to bring in your Hospital Bag to make life a bit easier. Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez

Whether it’s your 1st or 4th, every labor story usually leaves you speechless and ours are no different. We talk about epidurals, live streaming births, pushing positions, delivery room dance parties, and the possibility of leaving the hospital without a baby.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez
