This is a show that shares true experiences of getting pregnant, being pregnant and giving birth to help shift the common cultural narrative away from the rainbows and roses depictions you can find on social media, and other media more broadly, to a more realistic one (which might include rainbows and wreckage?).  It also celebrates the incredible resilience and strength it takes to create another person and deliver them into the world. I’m your host, Paulette Kamenecka. I’m a writer and an economist and the mother of two girls who had far too many surprises on my own path to motherhood.

Today's topic is one that doesn't see much daylight, to the detriment of everyone who has kids: the struggle to manage an unwanted pregnancy. There are any number of ways to respond to an unexpected pregnancy, and in today's show, you'll hear about an uncomfortable but very real response; one that I'm guessing is not uncommon, but is a perspective we rarely hear because the only culturally acceptable response is Joy; you have to be joyous. But that expectation is wildly unrealistic. Having a child is a life changing event, and on the cusp of such an event, any number of reactions can occur. In part one of my conversation, listen to how my guest managed these uncomfortable feelings.

How do you feel about surprises? Do ya love them, hate them, or does it depend on what the heck the surprise is? I lean heavily towards that last one. Some surprises are AMAZING. Some are shocking in a good way, and then some are just downright not what we expected in we are not going to fake it till we make it!

Today I'm sharing a fun but shocking surprise our family just experienced and tying it all the way back to 18-year-old Amy. Surprise...d.
