Midwife Bex Smith joins our Unfiltered podcast panel to delve into the unspoken truths about pregnancy and parenthood
Pregnancy and new parenthood is an exciting time, but it’s also filled with some surprises that you might not know about. Until now… In this bonus episode of our Netmums Unfiltered podcast – recorded in partnership with NHS England – our brilliant panelists are joined by midwife Bex Smith.
Host Caroline Verdon says, ‘We're talking about those things that people don't really always tell you about pregnancy and about what happens when you have a baby. Because I feel like there are loads of secrets.’ The Unfiltered truth about pregnancy cravings… One of the biggest surprises for our panelists was their pregnancy cravings. Caroline says, ‘I remember people talking about cravings, and I expected to crave food. And then my cravings were smells, and I found myself bottling water from my wrung-out swimming costume just so that I could sniff it out of the bottle for the first half of my pregnancy.
The Unfiltered truth about pregnancy vaccinations During pregnancy, your immune system is naturally weakened to protect your unborn baby, and this can make you less able to fight off infections. It can also mean you’re more likely to pick up viruses through food poisoning and bacterial and viral infections like the common cold, flu and COVID-19. Midwife Bex also shares the importance of vaccinations in pregnancy to keep you and your baby healthy.
