About this episode
Cameron shares her experiences and challenges during weeks 20-23 of her pregnancy, discussing symptoms, body image, and mental health.
We’re halfway through this pregnancy!! In this episode, I detail my pregnancy symptoms from weeks 20-23 and explain why this third pregnancy has humbled me in ways I was genuinely not prepared for. I open up about the complicated feelings that come with gaining weight faster this time around, the depressive funk that hit me hard, and how I'm feeling super disconnected from my own body. I also share the downfalls of choosing to go to Disney World pregnant in the heat, my experience with intense sciatica pain, and some unsolicited advice for my first-time pregnant girls.
