  3. 3

    Introduces an element of external conflict or public scrutiny to add a layer of intrigue and drama beyond the personal journey.

  4. 4

    Directly addresses a specific and significant change in the creator's personal struggles, fostering a deeper, more intimate connection with the audience.

  6. 6

    Alex Cooper Presents... CALL HER DADDY CREATING CONVERSATION SINCE 2018

Transcript

We're pregnant, guys. Call her mommy. I pee on the stick. I started crying. I cannot wait to share all of the fun and the emotional things that I have been going through during this pregnancy. Body dysmorphia, mental health, boundaries. My bump was becoming too hard to hide. The only rumors that actually came from the carpet was just how miserable my husband and I look. When I pressed post, I felt so much relief. Let's talk about that, first trimester. I was crying in public over my steak being too small. I have not struggled with anxiety throughout my life. That definitely changed since pregnancy. Choosing motherhood in my thirties doesn't erase the right to have enjoyed my twenties. Women are incredible. The fact that we have to go to work and be pregnant, we should run the country. What a concept.
