Show Notes
If you’ve ever been fooked over at work for daring to have a baby, this one’s for you.
Campaigner and founder of the charity Pregnant Then Screwed (but we're a podcast, so we're using the original name Pregnant Then Fucked), joins us to discuss why childcare is on the brink of collapse, the shocking stories of maternity discrimination she's dealt with and how women are now choosing to abort wanting pregnancies because they can't afford the costs.
She also talks about how campaigning for vulnerable women took a toll on her mental health and the online abuse she's faced.
