Yonic Boom - Episode 7 - Early Pregnancy

This episode sees the midwives discuss early pregnancy for people who choose to continue with their pregnancy - there will be a full episode focusing on termination of pregnancy later in the series.

Morning sickness, hyperemesis, what is happening in the womb, hormonal shifts all discussed.

Our Feminist of the Fortnight is Candice Braithwaite, founder of Make Motherhood Diverse, an online space focused on representing a picture of real motherhood, from all sorts of women around the world.
