麻豆约拍

Pregnancy tests are so easy to take at home, but that wasn鈥檛 always the case.

In this episode, India examines the moment of finding out you鈥檙e pregnant and what to do with that knowledge. Should we tell, or wait 12 weeks? And why wait 12 weeks when the first trimester can be so hard?

We meet our first pregnancy hormone HCG, and hear from Hetal Bopodra who experienced extreme sickness during three pregnancies. India also speaks to Joeli Brearley from Pregnant Then Screwed about the 鈥渕otherhood penalty鈥� and the sometimes thorny issue of telling work you鈥檙e pregnant.
