Healthy As A Mother

Potty training can feel so overwhelming, especially for first-time moms like Dr. Leah. She knew she needed to cross that bridge eventually, and she is so grateful that Dr. Morgan and her are best friends and she knows so much about it. Dr Morgan wanted to share everything Dr Leah needed to know about this process so they decided that instead of having a private conversation about it, they should record it and share it with you too! Whether you are a first-time mom navigating this season, already have kids but want to see what approach she recommends for your next child, or don't even have kids yet, this is an incredibly valuable episode where we talk all about the potty.

This week I take you on a little adventure through the trimesters of pregnancy. I break down common symptoms you might feel and offer ideas on how to manage those from a natural, integrative medicine perspective, as well as highlight various focus points for each 3-month period - whether that be the types of labs you might want to ask your provider for, or the types on information that would be smart to begin researching. I help answer some of the common questions I get all the time: What can be done about morning sickness? When do I start supplementing, and with what? Can you manage a UTI naturally during pregnancy? When do I need to change my exercise routine?

The last few months have been wild for Dr. Morgan and myself and as we kick of season 4 of the Healthy As A Mother podcast, we wanted to share our updates, the struggles we have both been going through, and share what prompted our extended break of this podcast. Although we know a lot about fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum between the two of us, it doesn't mean we are immune from the struggle within those seasons. In fact, it's because of our struggles that we are often able to help and bring support to women just like you because we get it. Needed Supplements:Click here to see Needed Supplements, use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20% off your first order Ninni Pacifier - use code MORGM10 for 10% offBooks we are reading:A Court of Thornes and Roses series by Sarah J MaasThe Empyrean series by Rebecca YarrosDoctor's Websites:Dr. Leah: www.womanhoodwellness.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/drleahgordon/Dr. Morgan: www.milkmedicine.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/morganmacdermott/Disclaimer: Please remember that the ideas and views of this podcast are for informational purposes only and are not intended to serve as a substitute for medical care of any kind, including the diagnoses or treatment of any illness or disease.

The holidays are upon us and if you are trying to conceive, this episode is for you! I interviewed Sadie Ackerman, an integrative mental health consultant all about navigating the complex emotions that can come up during the holidays. If you are feeling grief and anger seeing other pregnancy announcements, feeling devastated at the thought that you don't have a baby for the holidays, or you are navigating the various emotions that can arise during social and family gatherings, you do not want to miss this. Even if you aren't trying to conceive, the framework that Sadie shares with us is invaluable to all of us because we are all navigating relationships and feelings around the holidays.
