[1:48] Jessica's background 

[4:14] "Pelvic health doesn't even start. It starts before pregnancy. Oftentimes, what we see is problems being exacerbated by pregnancy or the childbirth itself. A lot of times people think, 'Oh, I'm only going to have pelvic floor issues once I have a child and I'm pregnant and I am postpartum.' But we have a lot of women that also struggle with leakage or prolapse or pain with intimacy, even prior to ever bearing a child or becoming pregnant."

[7:49] When to start preventative exercises 

[9:34] "I find that you get the best outcomes and the best support if you start in pregnancy, but also just to validate it's never too early and it's never too...

Show Notes:

[1:10] Our reviewer of the week, MadStidham, says: “At 33 weeks pregnant I realized “Holy cow, I really don’t like some of the things that went down with my first labor/delivery,” and I started trying to find resources on natural hospital births. Enter this podcast! I started listening about a week ago (I am almost 36 weeks at this point). I am SOOOO happy I found this podcast, it’s exactly what I was looking for and I feel more informed and excited about my birth with each listen! I’m confident that I can have the birth I want!”

You guys, these are the reviews I live for! By the time this episode airs, you will have had your baby, and I hope you share your birth story with me and our listeners!

We tend to think of pelvic floor exercises as something you do postpartum. This week's guest, Dr. Lizzie, DPT, talks about how crucial it is to prepare your body before and during pregnancy! We talk about pelvic floor therapy, diastasis...

 Show Notes:

[1:11] Our reviewer of the week is Courtney Clare, and she says: “I love this podcast so much, not only as a pregnant mama myself, but as a Registered Labor and Delivery Nurse! Stephanie does such a great job at covering ALL the relevant and important topics in digestible segments of information, and then turning that information into concrete resources and talking points for women to bring to their birth team. AND offers such a great balance of clinical and “crunchy.” Thank you for the work you do getting this essential information into the hands of moms everywhere!”

This week, I’m bringing even more evidence-based, excellent conversation today! Something we probably don’t spend enough time talking about is pelvic health during pregnancy and postpartum. If you’re anything like me, even with all of my study of birth, you may not even know that pelvic floor therapists are a thing. Well, lucky for you . . . that’s...

What if you could have a registry for the SUPPORT you need postpartum in addition to the THINGS you need for your baby? This week, we talk to Kaitlin McGreyes, founder of BeHerVillage, about the importance of empowering mothers to have the registry they want! 

Show Notes:

[1:12] Our reviewer of the week, wittyditty, says: “I love this podcast! It is informative, fun to listen to, and encouraging! I love all the good info each week and the more natural approach taken, while still considering moms in all kinds of situations. As a first time mom, I am just soaking up everything I can!”

I hope today's episode will be on your Top 10 List! I'm so excited about this incredible resource that I will be sharing with you today!

[2:05] I have Kaitlin McGreyes introduce herself. She is mother of three, a doula for almost eight years, and the founder of BeHerVillage, which is the baby registry she wishes she had! She wanted something a little different and to...
