Starr Struck Radio, Bonus Episode: The Third Trimester

8/16/2016

Last night, after a few weeks of cajoling, I *finally* convinced Ben to join me for a special bonus episode of Starr Struck Radio (!!!). No, he has not committed to coming back next season (sigh), but he has committed to joining me at least once more after our baby girl comes to talk about being a parent/new parenthood, so at least that's something...

That being said, here's today's episode! It's obviously all about the third trimester of pregnancy and how we're feeling during our baby's "due week."

This episode is meant to be the third (or really, fourth) in a series all about becoming parents. Scroll down (below the podcast link) to find links to the past three episodes in this series--and if you haven't listened to them yet, you might want to start from the beginning and listen to them in order, saving this one for last ;)

You can listen to this week's episode below OR by downloading and/or subscribing in iTunes or Stitcher (be sure you search "Starr Struck Radio").

So glad you guys had a chance to do this "last" episode before baby! A couple of comments for you and Ben...
- Ben, yes, everyone says when the baby comes you "won't care" about work and you'll just be so happy. But, it's still hard. I've done it once already and I'm still worried about leaving work for my second baby in a few months even though I already know firsthand that once the baby is here, I won't be as worried about it. Also, I think it's harder for guys since our generation is kind of "breaking in" this whole paternity leave thing and it's not as freely accepted that you will be gone for a period of time post baby. I hope by the time you guys are the BIG bosses, it will be the norm!
-On the topic of men and pregnancy, it's been the experience of most of my friends and mine/my husband that because guys don't have the physical experience, their excitement and attachment is so much less until the baby arrives and then catches up right with you as soon as she's here especially the baby grows into a little person!
-It's so interesting how different genders, and just people in general, experience pregnancy and birth and I just really appreciate you guys being so open and honest about it! I hope labor goes well and the baby is born happy and healthy! <3
