About this listen

Let's talk about expectations versus reality. The image of a radiant, energetic pregnant person is often a far cry from reality. You might be breathless after climbing a single flight of stairs or craving the oddest food combinations at midnight. The dichotomy between societal portrayalsand actual experiences can be stark. Society tends to romanticize pregnancy while glossing over the less glamorous aspects. Friends and family may shower you with unsolicited advice and opinions, leaving you more confused than comforted. Navigating these waters with graceand humor is essential, choosing what advice resonates with you and letting go of the rest.

Arming yourself with facts from reliable sources or joining antenatal classes can enhance your understanding and readiness, grounding expectations within reality. These classes equip you with knowledge and provide a platform for sharing experiences.
