In this episode, therapist Amanda White (owner of Therapy for Women) talks about her experience of being a “fence sitter” when it comes to having children. She discussed how it felt to get pregnant very quickly after she finally decided that she did want to pursue parenthood. She also talks about her experience with going through HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) after having recovered from bulimia, and navigating her baby’s IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction). She then shared about her experience of starting to go into liver failure towards the end of her pregnancy and the subsequent birth trauma that ensued.
