Episode notes

Rhona ther ye says she's had interesting conversations with people who've been pregnant. Older people tend to be more open to the idea that everyone has a different experience of pregnancy and giving birth.

In this episode, Hannah is joined by Dr Emma Chan, who is a doctor working in mental health, the Reproductive & Sexual Health Lead at The School of Sexuality Education, and co-author of “Sex Ed: An Inclusive Guide to Relationships”. Emma discusses what current sex education neglects to mention about pregnancy, including fertility, miscarriage, and the experience of being pregnant. They and Hannah talk about reproductive rights, navigating the climate crisis while wanting to have a baby, and how to make pregnancy healthcare spaces more inclusive to trans people. Finally, Emma and Hannah discuss emotional vocabulary and the importance of teaching communication skills to help young people express themselves, as well as how we can work towards greater contraceptive equality.
