EP 133 \ Managing Early Miscarriage: Why The Rush When You're Going Through The Worst?

Show Notes:
Today's show is not fun, but it is something moms need to know, preferably before they might need it. Today we're talking about what to do if you suffer from a miscarriage. While it is an impossible time and an impossible thought, it is a time you'll have to make a lot of decisions, so I want to help you be able to walk through it.
I mention a book about the safety of ultrasounds again in this episode, so I will link it here in case you still haven't purchased it and need to. I talk about it a lot more in episode 128.

EP 127 \ Forget the Baby Nursery — Plan Your Postpartum: An Episode All About Postpartum Preparations

Show Notes:
 
In our culture, tons of money gets spent on the baby nursery.  Moms spend hours loading up their baby registry with stuff they really don’t need and most likely will never use.  I mean, who needs 3000 onesies in newborn size? Rather than putting so much effort into decorating the nursery, spend an equal amount of time, money, and effort to plan your postpartum and you will have a much better chance of having a smooth transition into motherhood.
 
In this episode we will discuss:
- Actual postpartum needs
- Meal delivery and prepping for postpartum (mama-meals.com code YBGW for $20 off)
- Ways to let people serve you during postpartum
- How to prevent marital issues during postpartum
