    Pregnancy is all about preparing your body - they tell you what to eat, what to avoid, how to stay fit. But what they don't prepare you for is the silent storm that brews in your mind. The weight of motherhood isn't just physical - it's emotional, mental and sometimes overwhelming. This week, we open up about our own personal battles with anxiety, eating disorders, trying to lose our baby weight, and how we've learned to adapt in our new role as moms.Instagram: @pregnantbitchezYouTube: Pregnant BitchezResources & Guides: Pregnant Bitchez
