Terrified of morning sickness? Pregnancy and Emetophobia uncovered!
In this brilliant episode, Michelle Johnson and Bree Billington have an open, candid and genuine discussion about pregnancy and Emetophobia. Michelle and Bree are both ex-emetophobes, both parents and both working to help other people overcome their fear of sickness and vomit.
The episode does contain reference to sensitive topics including miscarriages and abortion.
Michelle and Bree share their different experiences of pregnancy in a very raw and open way. Michelle was Emetophobia-Free during her pregnancy, Bree still had her Emetophobia.
The podcast begins with the common question ‘How could someone with Emetophobia consider getting pregnant in the first place?’. Bree dives straight in with a brilliant insight into how her high desire for control and the power of her beliefs all played a role in her decision to fall pregnant whilst suffering with Emetophobia.
The discussion then moves onto how desire for control, low self-esteem, social anxiety and unhelpful thinking styles all factor into how well you manage the different parts of pregnancy i.e. the changes in your body, hormones, morning sickness, doctor’s appointments, not telling anyone about your pregnancy for the first 12 weeks, birth plans, listening to the opinions of others and the pressure we put on ourselves as future parents to get everything right.
The podcast ends with some active ways to prepare yourself for the discomforts of pregnancy with a few challenges you can try at home.
Michelle and Bree will be back soon with another podcast about birth, postpartum and motherhood.

------------------------
Emetophobia is the fear of vomiting/sickness: either yourself, other people, or both. Research suggests 0.1 to 8.8% percent of the population have a fear of being sick (Hout & Bouman, 2011). Emetophobia is a debilitating phobia, which significantly impacts your life: sufferers are chronically anxious and go to great lengths to avoid encountering anything sickness-related, which provides temporary relief but often results in a rollercoaster of anxiety, fear and exhaustion. Issues associated with emetophobia include: OCD, eating difficulties, anxiety-related gastric problems, phagophobia, tocophobia and more. Our goal is to raise awareness of this severe phobia and provide a solution for sufferers and their families.
You do not need to live with Emetophobia - you can COMPLETELY overcome it.
