I'm kicking off the new year with a really important episode about physiologic birth. I was inspired to cover this topic by our guest from episode 168, CNM Gianna Fay. She wrote to me asking if I would be willing to cover it and my response was - sure… but how? It's not a topic that OB/GYNs are taught much if anything about. The term gets used a lot in the online space but it's not often defined. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and see what information I could find.

Deundria's birth took a lot of unexpected twists and turns. She went into labor a month early, switched care teams at 34 weeks, and was diagnosed with COVID while in labor! But because she decided to pursue childbirth education during her pregnancy, she was able to roll with the punches. This was her third pregnancy and she knew she wanted something different this time. After negative experiences with epidurals during her first two births, she decided to try for unmedicated this time.

We talk a lot on this show about pregnancy and birth (of course!) but we don't talk as much about what happens after that. That's where today's guest, Lindsay C. M. Garrett, LCSW comes in. An expert in the field of adoption, parent preparation, and child welfare, she has spent ten years supporting parents at The Gladney Center for Adoption.

I've talked about advanced reproductive age before but I realized I'd never devoted an entire episode to it. After having a lot of requests for this subject, I decided to cover it today. More and more people are opting to delay parenthood. However there seems to be a commonly accepted myth that the minute you turn 35 you can no longer expect to have a healthy baby or a vaginal birth. What defines a healthy age to get pregnant is on a spectrum. It depends on too many factors to list here so you'll have to listen to the episode! The bottom line is that if you want to have a baby in your thirties, forties, or even fifties, you can likely expect positive outcomes! In this Episode, You'll Learn About: -How common it is to get pregnant over the age of 35 -Why some people are choosing to delay having children -How the advancing of age can correlate to higher rates of miscarriage -How age affects the prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities and congenital anomalies -How preexisting conditions, especially hypertension and diabetes, can affect the chances of these issues -What the effects are on morbidity and mortality -How pregnancy care differs according to age -How age affects rates of induction and c-section -How children can benefit from being raised by older parents -Why you should plan for your family's future if you decide to get pregnant when you are older   --- Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode176 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz

This is really a great story of managing through a difficult and unexpected birth course.

This episode is being brought to you by Bamboobies. Use the code “ALLABOUT” to get 40% of full price items through Oct 23. Today we're talking about what happens if there is a suspicion that your baby is big. I originally did an episode about this back in 2019 but since then I've had so many people reach out and ask about this subject that I thought I should revisit it and update it. I think it's coming up more often because more doctors seem to be doing routine third trimester ultrasounds which actually aren't necessary. These ultrasounds aren't great at identifying whether or not your baby will be large and can lead to unnecessary interventions down the road. In this episode, we'll get into the indicators you actually want to pay attention to and the outcomes and treatments you should be aware of for a suspected big baby. In this Episode, You'll Learn About: -How much does a baby have to weigh in order to be considered “big,” or having macrosomia -What factors can increase the risk of having a big baby -How macrosomia is diagnosed -How accurate (and necessary) ultrasound screening is in identifying baby size -Who should be getting screened -What kinds of complications can be caused by having a larger baby -How you can help yourself with some prevention strategies and management options   --- Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode174 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz

Hey there! I'm on vacation this week and spending some time with my family so enjoy this rebroadcast episode of the podcast with birth photographer Tavia Redburn. I used to think that birth photography was a bit of a luxury, but the more I learned about it the more I started to think that all parents should consider whether they'd like to have a photographer present for their birth. To talk about all things birth photography, we're joined by the wonderful Tavia Redburn. Tavia is a birth & newborn photographer in Oklahoma, and she also trains other new birth photographers.  Tavia and I talk about her journey to birth photography, how her own births affect her approach to her work, and what you should ask a photographer before you hire them. She also talks about why new parents should consider hiring a photographer for their first birth, rather than wishing they had later.  We also digress a bit and talk about some of the things Tavia has seen during the many labors and births she has been present at. She shares her own story and why it's so important to advocate for yourself at every point in your pregnancy and birth journey.  In this Episode, You'll Learn About: How and why Tavia became a birth & newborn photographer  Why it's important to be clear about your expectations and wishes before your birth What the hiring process for a birth photographer is like Questions to ask a birth photographer before you hire them Some of the things Tavia has witnessed in her role as a fly on the wall during many labors and births Why you should consider hiring a birth photographer for your first birth Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode59 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz

In this episode we're talking about headaches in pregnancy. Headaches are common in general and also in pregnancy so I thought I'd tackle this topic. We will be focusing on primary headache syndromes today. A “primary headache” is when the headache itself is the disorder, whereas a “secondary headache” refers to one that is a symptom of an underlying issue. I do talk about when it's time to take a headache seriously and talk to your doctor. Primary headaches can be pre-existing (i.e., they began before pregnancy) or can occur for the first time during pregnancy, postpartum, or breastfeeding. Depending on what kind of headaches you suffer from, pregnancy may make the condition more or less severe. Both headache treatments and the headaches themselves can have an effect on your pregnancy so it's important to learn about your options and make informed decisions. In this Episode, You'll Learn About: -How common are headaches -What are the different types of primary headaches -What are the characteristics of the most common primary headaches -How headaches can affect pregnancy outcomes -What are some medication and non-medication treatments -What are some preventative measures you can take -What medications are safe to use while breastfeeding -How to tell when a headache might be a sign of a more serious problem Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode156 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz

In today's episode I'm sharing 9 important tips to help you make sure you have the right doctor for you during your prenatal care. Emphasis on YOU because it really is going to be individualized to your unique needs. A doctor who may be great for one person may not be great for another. There is not a one size fits all approach. In order for you to find the right doctor you're going to need to ask a lot of questions and it's very important that you ask the right ones. Think about what you want for your birth and then start searching for a doctor who can support those wishes. Always listen to your gut and remember that it's your birth and your body - you deserve to have a doctor who supports you and makes you feel respected. In this Episode, You'll Learn About: -How your choice in doctor can impact your overall birth experience -How vital it is to listen to your gut when selecting an OB -Why it's better to switch doctors earlier on in your pregnancy rather than later -Which questions should you ask when determining if an OB is right for you -Why you should ask your doctor questions that require a specific and intentional answer as opposed to yes or no -What broader aspects of your care are wrapped up in which doctor you choose Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode150 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz

Crystal played roller derby for nine years and even that couldn't prepare her for her first pregnancy. She not only labored for 30+ hours, had to transfer from the birthing center to a hospital, was diagnosed with gestational hypertension, and her baby had to stay in the NICU, but she was also stung by a swarm of yellow jackets at thirty-eight weeks! Despite all this, she's able to look back on the whole experience and laugh. Though some people might never want to get pregnant again after all that, Crystal decided to try for baby number two and it turned out to be a redemptive and healing experience. After laboring for only 2.5 hours, she had the unmedicated birth she'd always hoped for and got to enjoy the “golden hour” which she did not get the first time around. Crystal's birth story teaches us an important lesson: you must be prepared for the possibility that things may not go as planned. Birth is an unpredictable process that cannot be controlled. It's beautiful to have birth wishes and you don't want to go into the birth experience without knowing what you want, but it's important to entertain all possibilities and be prepared. In this Episode, You'll Learn About: -How different Crystal's two births really were -What she wanted from her first birth and what she got -How truly painful birth can be -Why it's important to remember that you can change your mind about your birth wishes -How her birth experiences differed in a birthing center versus a hospital -What is HIE and how can it be treated with cooling therapy or “therapeutic hypothermia” -Why it's worth the time and energy to process the trauma that can occur from birth Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode145 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Take a quick, fun labor pain quiz
