Is It Normal? The Pregnancy Podcast With Jessie Ware

British singer-songwriter Jessie Ware (known for albums like "What's Your Pleasure?" and the massively popular "Table Manners" podcast with her mum) created this show during her own pregnancy, and it captures something most pregnancy resources miss: what it actually feels like, week by week, to have your body and mind completely taken over by the process of growing a human. The show is structured around pregnancy stages, with episodes titled by week ranges ("Weeks 4-6," "Weeks 6-8") so you can follow along at your own pace. Each episode brings in a relevant expert -- obstetricians, midwives, sonographers, anaesthetists, doulas, mental health professionals -- to address exactly what's happening at that stage and answer the questions Jessie (and her listeners) are actually thinking. Episodes run anywhere from 19 to 55 minutes. Jessie's personality is what makes this more than just another informational series. She's candid, funny, and completely willing to ask the questions that feel embarrassing. The 4.6-star rating from 246 reviews reflects that warmth. The show was recorded during the pandemic, so there are occasional references to lockdown-era healthcare that feel a bit dated, but the core pregnancy information holds up. With 42 episodes covering one full pregnancy journey, it's a complete, finite listen rather than an ongoing commitment -- which honestly makes it perfect for bingeing during the first trimester when you're stuck on the couch anyway.
