Regretful Parents: "I Don't Wish This On Any Woman" | Reddit Stories
About this episode
Erika and guest Ashton discuss a Reddit post about the struggles of pregnancy and societal perceptions of women's pain during childbirth.
Erika is joined by friend of the pod and special guest Ashton to react to a Reddit post from a woman who is absolutely DONE being pregnant — stretch marks in places she didn't know could stretch, a partner telling her "your body will be better than ever," and a mom who just keeps saying "focus on the baby."

We get into why pregnancy horror stories are kept so quiet, the evolutionary reason human childbirth is uniquely dangerous, why women's pain gets minimized the second there's a baby involved, and the man on Instagram who came home for 1-2 hours a day and considered himself a parenting expert. Also: Ashton makes a great case for Dinky trips.
