Ask Me Anything: Host Alison Rice on her pregnancy, labour preparation and the postpartum period.
To close season six, host Alison Rice dedicates her Ask Me Anything episode to her little girl, Betty.
So often, the stories we hear about pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period are negative and fear-based. Alison’s experience has been more soft than hard, and so she hopes that sharing a different perspective might help other women feel more excited than scared about this new chapter.
In this extended episode, Alison answers listener questions about her pregnancy, navigating pregnancy anxiety, her labour preparation, hospital bag must-haves and why she believes she had a soft and positive postpartum experience.
She also talks about the sense of perspective she has following two pregnancy losses, the life lessons she hopes to teach her little girl, her thoughts on her career and earning after having a baby, the products she’s loved, the books she read, her emerging parenting style, and opens up about Betty’s personality and what she looks like.
Below is a list of everything Alison refers to in this episode, plus a few extras she forgot to include.
