Aleen shares the long-awaited news that she’s pregnant and ready to tell us all about it. They start with details about how far along she is, how she was able to keep it a secret, and what morning sickness is really like (not fun, if you’re wondering). They discuss the process of going off birth control and trying to conceive, with some useful tips for what to do when you’re trying. They also talk about tackling body image issues in a time when you're experiencing monumental changes. This includes a conversation about the complicated challenge of maintaining good mental health and taking care of your body while also growing a person inside of you. Finally, they close the show with a conversation about genetic screening and an exciting announcement about a new podcast coming soon.
