Show Notes
In today's episode, Sharelle opens up about her personal pregnancy journey, drawing on both her own experience and her background as a midwife to answer the questions that do not always get asked out loud.
We get into the realities of the first trimester, from fatigue and symptoms to the unspoken pressure women face around when and how to share their news. We also talk training during pregnancy, debunking the myths that still circulate around exercise, heart rate limits, and what is actually safe, and why staying strong and informed is one of the best things you can do for your body and your birth.
We go deep on birth itself, covering the difference between vaginal birth and cesarean, how to think about birth plans and medical interventions, and what the maternity care system does and does not tell you. We also touch on fertility testing, AMH levels, and conception planning for anyone thinking ahead. This is the honest, informed conversation around pregnancy and birth that every woman deserves to have access to.
