She also shares what she’s most anxious about for postpartum and how she’s proactively preparing, how being raised by a single mother and having an absent father affected her relationship with her partner and how she worked through her resentment, and why she’s most excited about discovering her inner child once her baby is born.Key Takeaway / Points:On Lauren’s rough first trimester and struggling to navigate medicationsOn the shame of feeling “lazy” and battling pregnancy fatigueOn confusing feelings over pregnancy and not always feeling connected to the baby in your wombOn protecting your peace during pregnancyWhat Lauren is anxious about
