Ep 10: "Holy $!#@, how can I be 5 months pregnant?!!" How this Couple Mastered the Art of Prepping for a Baby in Less Than 4 Months

From zero to #babyboss & #dudela in less than four months.  Eliza and Jeremy were not planning on having kids initially... but they got the surprise of a lifetime when they found out that they were pregnant. Eliza didn't want to believe it at first because she had an IUD. The ultrasound, however, confirmed that she was indeed pregnant and was already 5 months along.

Now, with a little time to prepare (4 months to be exact), Eliza and Jeremy had to rush to get things done- prenatal classes, selecting a birth provider, nutrition, lactation consultation, and all other important matters which a newly pregnant parent usually prepares early on during her pregnancy.

Eliza's partner,  Jeremy took  a proactive role in preparing for the arrival of their newborn and earned the esteemed title of "dudela!"

This episode will benefit not just new parents but also birth professionals who wish to support parents throughout their  journey.
