  • Summary

  • In this episode of Bun in the Oven Hollie speaks to anti-diet registered nutritionist Laura Thomas, all about body image during and after pregnancy.

    So, in today’s episode Laura and Hollie discuss:

    ► What diet culture is and how it affects our lives
    ► Why we are in a society where people feel it is acceptable to comment on another person’s body
    ► Why we put certain bodies on such a pedestal
    ► How this can make pregnancy and postpartum a really testing time for a person’s body acceptance.
    ► How to navigate your changing pregnancy body and learn to accept it

    This episode on your pregnancy body is for you if you are struggling to navigate the physical changes that come with pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period, if you find the pressure from the media to look a certain way during pregnancy or snap back postnatally, or if you have previously struggled with disordered eating, fat-shaming from healthcare professionals, or body image concerns.

    We hope it helps you navigate this period of your lives, and allows you to show yourself kindness where possible.
