Episode 5: Pregnancy

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms out there! Since today is Mother’s day, we figured today is the perfect day to talk about being pregnant and what all comes along with it. Danielle has never experienced this, so we decided to have a special guest on to contribute to this conversation.

Our guest today is Barbie Hall, also known as Sista Goose. She is a mother of two, a Christian Fiction author, and founder of Black Girls Inc and Black Men’s Inc. She uses her platform to promote books and authors of color. She also is in the works of creating Black Kids Inc to promote children’s books so that kids can see themselves represented in the stories they read. Her new book, Bless this Mess: Ruth (Vol. 1) is available for pre-order (Order Now).

Today, Barbie and Mel get real candid and honest about their child-bearing experiences. Adjusting to a new body, hormonal, and emotional changes can be challenging during this time. Both had some difficulties during their pregnancies, as well as issues with their deliveries. Though Mel and Barbie love being mothers, there are some things they wished they knew beforehand.

We are going to warn you now, emotional moments do occur in this episode. Don’t let this scare you though, we still laugh a lot!
