Lucy Watson on fertility, pregnancy, motherhood and learning to trust her body
From reality TV to bestselling cookbooks, successful businesses and now motherhood, Lucy Watson joins Ellie Taylor to talk fertility, family and the relationship she's built with her body
Lucy reflects on life beyond Made in Chelsea, opening up about her three-year fertility journey, the joy of welcoming her son Willoughby and the excitement of expecting baby number two. She shares how pregnancy has changed the way she sees her body, the pressures women face around health and appearance, and why she's learnt to be kinder to herself along the way.
“I care more now about how I'm treating my body, so longevity and health is more a focus than the way that I look”
