In this follow-up to Becky’s pregnancy story, we flip the mic and hear all about Jessica’s experience being pregnant at the same time as Becky. From instant joy to pubic symphysis pain, insomnia, compression socks, and body image shifts, we talk about it all, capturing the contradictions, the surprises, and the stuff no one tells you. We reflect on what it was like to go through pregnancy side-by-side, how our experiences were wildly different (despite similar lifestyles), and why there’s no such thing as doing pregnancy “right.” This episode is for anyone who’s navigated the physical and emotional roller coaster of pregnancy—and for those who know the rage of being 41 weeks and still pregnant.
In this episode you’ll find:
🤰 Pregnant together: the highs, the weirds, the wildly different
💉 Who saw the positive pregnancy test first? Spoiler, it wasn’t Jessica
😴 First-trimester insomnia and pubic symphysis pain
🥤 Diet Coke, nausea, and modifying exercises
🧦 Compression sock obsession vs. compression sock regret
🧠 Mental load: fear of induction and body image in pregnancy
📸 Maternity photos in Mexico (and not sucking it in!)
😡 The emotional chaos of weeks 40–42
Pregnancy is never one-size-fits-all, even when you’re doing it side by side.
