Episode 5: Clues for a happy Pregnancy

Pregnancy as the ultimate “body experience”, that’s one of the philosophical gems from this week’s very cheerful episode with Kate.

Spoiler: We did not have a live birth on this episode!

At 8 months pregnant, Kate has been through all the ups and downs of pregnancy.

But you wouldn’t think it because her joy is contagious. 

Her first visit to the doctor post pregnancy test could have set her off on a traumatic start but she used this as a stepping stone to plunge herself into the pregnancy journey with full faith, surrendering to whatever was thrown at her and that’s the secret to her joy! 

As a scientist fascinated with animal birth documentaries since childhood and now a OneHealth researcher, she is quirky and sometimes just hilarious. 

This episode is full of practical tips, philosophical insights and many laughs. 

She’s the kind of pick-me-up you might need just now wherever you are in your pregnancy!

💡 Here are books which Kate found fitted her approach to pregnancy: 💡
