<p>The “Real Deal” Series: Birth Plans </p><p> </p><p>This season is called “The Real Deal Series: Where Real Bodies, Real Parenting, and Real Talk Collide!” In this episode, we discuss the intersection of diet culture’s messages about bodies on pregnancy and birthing.

We offer statistics of birth methods and resources for mental health that would be supportive to our listeners.</p><p> </p><p>Additonal Resources:</p><p><a href="http://www.postpartum.net/">www.postpartum.net</a></p><p><a href="http://www.postpartum.net/">“Rebounding from Childbirth” by Lynn Madsen</a></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>To connect with the Mom Genes community, check out our Instagram: @momgenesthepodcast.
