  • AP 793: What Most Pregnancy Advice Misses: You’re Growing a Mother, Too || with Nina Spears
    Jun 15 2026
    When I was pregnant with my first baby, I was consumed with preparing for the needs of the little one, spending hours reading books and researching products. But what I didn’t prepare for was the transformation within myself - a lesson that each pregnancy unveils a new version of who I am, shifting my identity, expectations, and even my understanding of motherhood. In our discussion, Nina Spears emphasized the importance of preparing for the mother just as much as the baby. We often forget that with each baby born, a new mother is also born, requiring just as much care and support. This journey pushes us to redefine what success looks like, challenge our predispositions, and ultimately build a support system that acknowledges and nurtures the endless, often invisible labor we undergo. If there’s one thing I wish for expectant mothers to take away, it's this: you deserve to prepare and care for yourself just as much as you do for your child.
