On today's episode Mon chats with Tobi Cunningham, a 25 year old Melbourne Mumma and discuss what her journey into motherhood has looked like. Tobi is a 'young mum' of her beautiful girl Kenzie, and although her pregnancy journey was straightforward she has had to navigate becoming a Mum with minimal support during a global pandemic.
Being the first of her friends to have a baby Tobi discusses some of the exciting but challenging times that come with this. Tobi opens up honestly on how people's comments about her pregnancy made her feel and highlights some of the do's and don'ts of what to say when finding out someone is pregnant.
We touch on what society defines as the 'golden age' of having a baby and the pressures that are put on women to have a baby at the 'perfect time'.
Please welcome the amazing Mumma Tobi.
