The Culture of Pregnancy
Search the internet on any given day, and you’ll find articles about how women lost their baby weight, rumors about which celebrity might be sporting a “bump,” and new science suggesting what women should — and shouldn’t do — while pregnant. Our guest says we’re consumed with pregnant women. She joins us to talk about how we got this way, and what this means for pregnant women.
