    Pregnancy Week 40 Plus - To Induce or Not to Induce?
    Feb 24 2016
    You’ve made it to your due date! Congrats. But the fact that you’re still listening tells us you’re not exactly in the throes of labor—yet. Reaching Week 40 and beyond can be a frustrating time. You can feel as big as a house with a four-­car garage and totally, 100% ready to get this birthing show on the road. Like NOW. Now that you’ve hit D­-day, it’s time to get serious. Do you induce or don’t you? And if so, how long do you go before the P­-word (Pitocin) is uttered? Remember: it’ll all be worth it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Pregnancy Week 39 - Let’s Get This Show on the Road!
    Feb 24 2016
    It’s Week 39, and ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got ourselves a full term baby! This means you have full permission to start giving birth now... If only it was as easy as willing it to so. Nope, the baby likes to come when the baby is ready, and sometimes that can feel like never. You get your hopes up with every Braxton Hicks contraction, only to be disappointed when they go absolutely nowhere. So is there a way to help labor on its way from home? Yes—sometimes.

    Pregnancy Week 38 - Baby Blues vs. Postpartum Depression
    Feb 24 2016
    It’s Week 38: you’re probably desperate to get this darn baby out one day, and terrified of the reality of being a mom the next. It’s an exciting/nerve-wracking time with lots to keep you up at 4 a.m., thank you very much. It’s often the fear of the unknown that can be the scariest of all, and one major unknown is how you’ll really feel when the dust settles and you’ve got a newborn to take care of. With more celebs, like Hayden Panettiere, opening up about postpartum depression, you might be wondering: Will it happen to me? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Pregnancy Week 34 - Due Dates are Dumb!

    Pregnancy Week 34 - Due Dates are Dumb!
    Feb 24 2016
    If you’ve subscribed to a pregnancy newsletter or downloaded an app, everything is based on one thing: your due date. It’s also the first thing people ask you when they find out you’re pregnant. But what if we told you the whole idea of a due date is bogus? And that the whole idea of counting down is basically pointless. Sure it’s great to know where you are in your pregnancy for the essential stuff, like scheduling ultrasounds (and listening to this podcast), but when it comes to the final countdown, it may not matter as much as you think.

    Pregnancy Week 33 - Packing for the Hospital
    Feb 24 2016
    It’s Week 33 and you can just about see your due date on the horizon. But, since babies can be about as unpredictable as everything else in your life, it’s a good idea to do what you can to prepare (which believe us, isn’t as much as you think). If your idle hands are itching to do something in preparation for so much busy­ness around the corner, it might be time to put them (and your partner’s) to work packing that hospital bag. But what exactly should you put in it? Opinions differ and we’ll discuss the essentials this week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
