We asked, you delivered - and now we’re answering your most unfiltered, honest, and hilarious questions. In this Q&A kickoff to Season 5, we’re talking everything from postpartum resentment to baby travel tips, in-law drama to mom guilt, and why the “roommate phase” is way too real. Oh, and by the way - Pregnant Bitchez is now Baby Then What. Why the change? Because this isn’t just a pregnancy podcast anymore.

Nobody really warns you about this part of pregnancy — but we’re gonna say it out loud. This week, we’re getting real about what it feels like when your friendships start shifting during pregnancy and postpartum. The friends who stopped texting. The ones who bailed before your baby shower even hit the calendar. The ones you thought would be there... and just weren't. We’re sharing our own stories (the messy, the painful, the surprisingly freeing), plus the stories you sent in. We're talking about how awkward it can be trying to make new mom friends when you barely recognize yourself — and why it's not just okay, but necessary, to let go of friendships that don’t fit the woman you are now. If you’ve ever sat there, holding your phone, feeling like nobody gets it anymore... if you’ve ever cried over a friend you thought would be forever... or if you’ve found magic in the people who showed up when it mattered most — this episode is for you. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And you’re definitely not the only one feeling it.
