Pregnant Longer Than Married? Rachel & Luke Get Real About Baby #2

Send us Fan Mail

This week on the RL Podcast, Rachel takes over the mic — and she’s not alone. Her husband Luke joins for a raw, heartfelt, and hilarious conversation about all things second-time parenthood. From the delivery room to diaper duty, they’re pulling back the curtain on what really goes down behind closed (hospital) doors.

Luke shares the guy’s perspective on the delivery room — the surprises, the nerves, and how to show up without feeling helpless when you’re not the one giving birth or breastfeeding. They talk openly about their hopes and fears heading into life with a newborn and a toddler, and how they’re planning to divide and conquer when baby #2 arrives.

Rachel opens up about what she’s looking forward to once pregnancy ends (Lucia literally can’t remember her not being pregnant!), and together they bust a few parenting myths while reflecting on what they’ve learned so far. And in a vulnerable twist, they ask the big question: Has being pregnant for most of their marriage changed their relationship?

Whether you're a new parent, expecting, or just love hearing couples keep it real — this episode will have you laughing, nodding, and maybe even tearing up. Let’s get into it.
