9. Hyperemesis, Cannabis and Knowing How to Pivot with Tessa Bryant

Fat And Pregnant

Hello folks! Tune into this wonderful conversation I had with Tessa Bryant, a full spectrum doula and first time mom from Tennessee.
Tessa experienced what so many others suffer with in silence during pregnancy-- severe sickness, AKA hyperemesis gravidarum. We explore how she navigated that misery while also preparing for her birth.
In this episode, we discuss:

• Tessa's journey through severe pregnancy sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum)
• Tips for coping with HG (and Michelle's cannabis story!)
• How Tessa needed to pivot her home birth plans
• Ways to prepare for a cesarean birth
• The importance of finding a size inclusive provider
