Elsie Hewitt Instagram – When @elsie Hewitt got pregnant, it had been after many years of feeling disconnected from her body, for a number of reasons. After diagnosing and treating stage 4 endometriosis, she had been looking forward to a stretch of her life where her body felt like her own again—until pregnancy derailed that.
