Gestational diabetes (GDM) can feel overwhelming, and for many women, it comes with confusion, fear, or guilt. But a diagnosis doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, and it certainly doesn't mean you're powerless.In this episode, we're joined by Boob to Food clinic dietitian and nutritionist Niki Mohtat to explore what GDM actually is, why it happens, and how you can manage it with confidence through nourishing food, supportive lifestyle tweaks, and the right guidance. Niki Mohtat is a dietitian and nutritionist with a passion for supporting women through preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum. Her interest in prenatal nutrition began with her own pregnancies, where she saw firsthand how much of the information available to the public was outdated or unhelpful. This inspired her to dedicate her career to providing evidence-based, individualised, and practical nutrition guidance, so women can feel confident nourishing themselves and their growing baby. Niki has completed advanced training through The Institute for Prenatal Nutrition Mentorship Program under Lily Nichols, a highly sought-after and competitive prenatal certification program. She offers consultations through the Boob to Food online clinic.In this episode, we discuss:What gestational diabetes really is and why it happens during pregnancyWhat the oral glucose tolerance test involves and its limitationsHow to approach food without fear, guilt, or perfectionismThe role of protein, fats, and carbs (and why carbs aren't the enemy)Tips for managing fasting blood glucose levelsThe connection between GDM and future health risksSimple strategies for postpartum and long-term wellbeing... and so much moreResources mentioned in this episode:Boob to Food Online ClinicOur earlier Boob to Food episode on preconception nutritionToday's episode is brought to you by Haakaa.

Could this be your side hustle this summer?  Speaking of things from the Disney universe, neither Kelly or Lizz have ever been to a Disney park but they feel like they could be Disney adults. They're both into the Disney adult content creators and have a love for the High School Musical soundtrack. Maybe one day?  Lent starts this week and Kelly and Lizz are getting ready to give something up for the next 40 days. This year not only are they giving something up, but they want to do something to better themselves before Good Friday. But the real best of lent season? The fish fry!! It's been a while since Kelly and Lizz checked in with their bank accounts for Last Three Transactions.

Plus, she got some Crocs for herself and she's very excited about it! Meanwhile, Lizz has had her life completely changed thanks to the Haakaa breast pump and the Athleta pale yellow collection.  There are two juicy stories in Industry News.

To start off this episode, Emily and Jamie discuss their recent experiences with their kids at the dentist. Jamie shares her frustrations and reflections on the dental appointments, particularly concerning her middle daughter's oral surgery and the dentist's approach to her children's dental care. They discuss the challenges faced by neurodiverse children in dental environments, and their own personal experiences at the dentist as adults.  In this inspiring episode, Jamie welcomes Steve Johnston (@dad.vs.blindness), a radiologist and father, to share his experiences as a dad, particularly how he navigates raising his son who was diagnosed with a rare disease called Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. Steve recounts the journey from his son's birth, marked by polydactyly (extra fingers and toes), to receiving his official diagnosis 7 years later with a potentially devastating prognosis: progressive vision loss leading to blindness. Despite the initial shock and disbelief, Steve reflects on his approach to coping, and emphasizes the importance of processing emotions and seeking professional help in navigating the complexities of grief and acceptance. He highlights the transition from grieving to taking action, and how this led to his family creating a nonprofit organization.Through their candid discussion, Jamie and Steve underscore the significance of community, professional guidance, and individualized approaches in navigating the complexities of rare diseases and parenting. They spend time discussing the impressive nonprofit's inception and goals, Steve elaborates on the lack of immediate treatment options upon his son's diagnosis and the subsequent motivation to take action. Despite initially lacking a specific target for fundraising, the family embarked on creating a nonprofit, "A Race Against Blindness," with the aim of raising awareness, supporting research, and ultimately funding potential treatments or cures for  Bardet-Biedl syndrome and related conditions. Steve shares the challenges of navigating the complex landscape of medical research funding for rare diseases and the fortuitous alignment with a research group in the UK working on potential therapies. Through their nonprofit endeavors and physical challenges like triathlons, the family not only raises funds but also instills values of resilience and perseverance in their children, preparing them to face life's inevitable challenges with mental fortitude and adaptability. In this week's Live Ask a Nurse segment Jamie and Emily discuss how to manage oversupply, a common concern among breastfeeding mothers. They offer practical tips such as using hand expression or a Haakaa to reduce milk flow before feeding, and reclining during breastfeeding. They emphasize the importance of seeking guidance from a lactation consultant for personalized advice tailored to individual needs and circumstances. They also mention the resources available through the Nurture annual membership.  To learn more about A Race Against Blindness: https://araceagainstblindness.org/  This podcast is proudly brought to you by our fabulous sponsors: Feast & Fettle: Use code NAPSPOD for $30 off your first order Kibou: Use code NAPS for 15% off your purchase of $89+ Little Spoon SilverPost: Use code NAPSFAMILY for $5 off any plan

Today's episode is proudly brought to you by Her Keeper - an inclusive place to find beautifully curated products to assist you or a muma-to-be's journey into pregnancy and postpartum care. In today's Episode our host Mon speaks with Carla Sikes about her motherhood experience. Carla's son Ethan was diagnosed with Spina Bifida at 20 weeks gestation. Early in pregnancy his spinal cord had failed to close properly which resulted in part of it being exposed in a fluid-filled sac, protruding from his lower back. Once Carla received Ethan's diagnosis there was no question that she needed to do whatever she could to give him the best outcome in life. At 24 weeks the decision was made for both Ethan and Carla to undergo an Rare and complex in-utero surgery at Mater Mothers' Hospital in Brisbane which was the 12th of it's kind across all of Australia and New Zealand in an attempt to help increase the likelihood of Ethan being able to walk unaided. This surgery put both her life and Ethan's life at risk. Ethan, Carla & their entire family have had to overcome a lot of obstacles in a short period of time but Ethan truly is a little miracle who is kicking goals today. Both Carla and I hope that this conversations helps to raise awareness about spina bifida - please welcome Carla About our sponsor- Her Keeper: Her Keeper is an inclusive place to find beautifully curated products to assist you or a muma-to-be's journey into pregnancy and postpartum care.

In today's episode our host Mon speaks with Jane Nixon about her experience into motherhood. After an intervention free labour that was progressing well Jane found herself in a cold operating theatre at fully dilated preparing for a trial of forceps. After a successful forceps which avoided an emergency caesarean Jane was adjusting to the fourth trimester not really understanding what had just happened, but like many women she pushed her feelings aside & got on with newborn life. Nearly two years later Jane found herself pregnant again and these feelings that she had once pushed aside surrounding her birthing experience had started to creep back into her mind. Jane discusses how she identified & overcame her birth trauma in preparation to welcome her second baby and how she advocated for herself to have that empowering birth she had always dreamt of.

The biggest help in both of my post-partum journeys were my doulas. When I tell any new mom this, often I get the response: “What is a doula?”. I found out about doulas because my friend in LA had one for the nights, allowing her to catch up on sleep after she came home from the hospital. But doulas are so much more than that and that is why I sat down with my own doula and created this episode. We recorded this episode 2 months after my son was born and we are literally passing him back and forth during this interview so you might hear him in the background. In this episode we talk about Kendra's own pumping story for her two kids but also about the Doula profession itself. What is a doula? What is the difference between a Post-Partum Doula and a Birth Doula? What do they do and how can they help you in your birthing and post-partum journey? How do you find a doula? What should you look for in a doula? How can a doula help you with breastfeeding? All of these are questions we discuss in this episode.

Megan's pregnancies were both so different.. a lot like her births! Her second birth story was so exciting and fast. She woke up IN TRANSITION! Can you imagine? I loved how her husband tried to complete their labor checklist, even when Megan only had 60 seconds between contractions. So cute! An underlying theme with the accidental unassisted births we have heard is how there seems to be a sense of peace that all of these mamas had. I love that the body and mind just know what to do and how to remain in a peaceful state, even with things going a little off plan! It's so inspirational and it's a good reminder that you CAN do it! My pregnancy update was a little out of order but you get the idea! :) I have changed midwives now and feel very much at ease with my decision! Megan loved the Boba Wrap for baby and muslin swaddle blankets. She's also one of our many Haakaa fans! (PS - Thanks Cait for my pre-baby Haakaa!! Can't wait to use it) Megan has a YouTube channel (featuring a beautiful video of her birth!), Instagram and a website, so there's plenty of ways to follow along on Megan's beautiful journey. As always, thanks for coming along for the ride with us. We appreciate you all!

Breastfeeding seems like the most natural thing a mom and baby can do, right? Well, as Kara explains, it's a learning curve for both! Moms often don't know who to turn to for breastfeeding advice - the internet is teeming with incorrect information and your well-meaning pediatrician or midwife may have outdated information. An IBCLC, or lactation consultant as most of us know them by, are often covered by your insurance company and can really help you build a strong breastfeeding relationship. Kara has been a friend of mine for over 15 years and we could've talked to her about breastfeeding for hours! She does such a great job normalizing all of the things deemed "problematic" for new moms. Since we both became moms, Kara has had a passion for breastfeeding. We hope you find our talk as helpful as we did! Kara loves the Haakaa, like so many other moms we talked to. I know a product I will absolutely be buying for this baby! :) If you are in New Jersey and want to schedule a visit with Kara, jump on her website and follow her on Instagram or Facebook, no matter where you live!
