What happens when you walk away from everything and find your own path to motherhood?In this episode, we hear from Julia, a Montana mother of two who walked away from the corporate grind, sold her home, and set out on a radically different path to motherhood, one rooted in sovereignty, sisterhood, and self-trust.Julia shares how her first wild pregnancy unfolded while traveling the West Coast in a trailer, living off-grid in national forests, and finding community through The Lighthouse membership. With a deeply ingrained medical upbringing, Julia had to unravel layers of programming to reclaim birth on her terms.She tells the raw and beautiful stories of birthing her babies on raw land in the Montana winter, catching her first baby unexpectedly with bath towels and a shoelace, and welcoming her second in a fast, intuitive birth in the same off-grid trailer. From navigating boundaries with family to tandem nursing and raising her children outside the system, Julia's story is a powerful testament to the courage it takes to live differently.What You'll Hear:How a divorce became the catalyst for questioning everything she thought she knewWhy she sold everything and set out on the road with their RVA story of freedom that comes from leaving behind medical management and social expectationsWhy her first freebirth became the most magical experience of her lifeHow living in the Natural Forest system rewired her mind and reawakened her intuitionThe lessons from two very different freebirthsHer advice for anyone considering stepping away from responsibilities during their first pregnancyTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[00:51] From medical conditioning to embracing freebirth and body autonomy[10:31] Leaving corporate life behind to travel in an RV and begin a wild pregnancy on the road[30:23] First freebirth story in a winterized RV with unexpected postpartum challenges[45:57] Second freebirth story with a toddler sleeping nearby and a smooth postpartum experience[01:01:10] Postpartum recovery challenges, household dynamics, and lessons for next timeYou can connect with Julia on her homestead Instagram page here.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

Episode 75 is shared by L. A first time mum living on the land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong Peoples. She shares her pregnancy story and how her frequent engagement with the hospital system due to her debilitating hyperemesis gravidarum influenced her decisions around what model of care she wanted and hoped for. Ultimately, despite back and forth and advocating for the same, L was unable to access midwifery continuity of care or a homebirth through the publicly funded model. She then made the decision to birth unassisted with the support of her partner. I met L in the later part of the third trimester as she was navigating this decision and was shocked by some of the experiences L had especially considering how her pregnancy had already significantly impacted her mental health and wellbeing.  Resources: Hyperemesis Gravidarum Birth of the Placenta (Ep from Great Birth Rebellion) Support the showReach out: www.birthingathome.com.au @birthingathome_apodcast@elsie.ruijgrok (EMDR info) birthingathome.apodcast@gmail.com

Today I pull back the curtain on an often-overlooked aspect of fertility: your partner's sperm health. In this episode, I dive into how sperm quality can profoundly influence placental development, affect the risk of miscarriage, and shape your baby's long-term health. You'll also discover why hearing “everything is normal” from your doctor isn't always the final word and why traditional labs miss the subtle, yet important, nuances hidden beneath the surface, especially in men who appear healthy and do all the right things.   Episode Highlights: Nora is back from her summer break and shares what's new — including an exciting return of one of her fertility coaching offers. Why men's sperm quality and quantity are declining, and what does it mean for fertility? Nora digs into the surprising factors most people overlook. Sperm does more than deliver DNA, discover its hidden role in shaping early pregnancy from the very start including the placenta Could poor sperm health be quietly contributing to miscarriage risk? Nora unpacks the science you may not have heard. Practical steps you can take right now: how advanced testing and a deeper look at “optimal health” (not just normal ranges) may transform fertility outcomes.

Ep. 377: The Myth of the Aging Placenta with Sophie Messager, Phd  Have you ever been told your placenta might be “too old”? Maybe you've heard that once you hit 35 or if you've conceived through IVF, your placenta just can't keep up. This so-called “aging placenta” idea gets tossed around a lot, but here's the truth: it's a myth. In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Sophie Messager, a former reproductive psychologist and current doula, to set the record straight. Together, we dive into: The history of the “aging placenta” myth and how it gained traction What science really says about how the placenta changes in late pregnancy Why these misconceptions can strip away maternal autonomy and fuel unnecessary interventions The role of intuition when navigating medical recommendations How systemic bias and racial disparities play into maternity care And drumming… yes, you read that right: how drumming can become a powerful, grounding tool during pregnancy This conversation will give you the knowledge (and confidence) to challenge outdated beliefs and trust that your body isn't broken. It''s brilliant.

Ina Stelzer, Ph.D., explores how the maternal immune system adapts to support a healthy pregnancy and how disruptions can lead to complications like preterm birth. Her lab identifies early immune changes linked to spontaneous preterm birth and investigates the role of the maternal brain in regulating immune responses. Stelzer uses advanced technologies like mass cytometry and spatial proteomics to map immune and molecular changes in pregnancy, integrating these data with transcriptomics and mouse models. Her team studies how antidepressants affect immune signaling during pregnancy and examines the impact of social and behavioral factors. These insights may reveal biomarkers and therapeutic targets for improving maternal and fetal health. Series: "Motherhood Channel" [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 40773]

What Does Having Low AMH Levels Mean? Having low AMH levels can indicate that your ovaries are producing less of the preantral follicles. This is important as the fewer the number of follicles there are means there are less that can be stimulated for assisted contraception. Today's guest suffered from endometriosis for 21 years before being properly diagnosed. Sandra Elidor also found out she had low AMH at age 30.  With Endo she had two surgeries, 1 fallopian tube, 1 successful IVF cycle, and 1 miscarriage. Sandra gave birth to her son at 29 weeks after weeks of bed rest due to placenta previa.  During her 2nd IVF treatment, she found out she was no longer a candidate for IVF due to her low AMH levels.  After which she suffered a miscarriage.   In today's episode Sandra takes us on her journey to parenting, how she started her non-profit Filling Empty Wombs on Clubhouse, and supporting other families on this infertility and loss journey.

Louise Laurent, M.D., Ph.D., presents new insights into placental biology using cutting-edge molecular and imaging technologies. As part of the NIH-funded Human Biomolecular Atlas Program, her research focuses on mapping the structure and function of the placenta across gestation. By combining bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell analysis, spatial transcriptomics, and imaging mass cytometry, Laurent and collaborators identify key differences in cell types and gene expression associated with pregnancy stages and labor. Her team highlights how specific cells like syncytiotrophoblasts and extravillous trophoblasts evolve over time and interact with maternal tissue. This integrated approach offers an unprecedented view of placental development and lays the groundwork for understanding reproductive health and disease.

Hoy vas a conocer el relato de Ariadna Reina, que nos habla del nacimiento de su hija Gala. Ariadna tenía una cardiopatía pre-existente (comunicación intra-auricular), que nunca le ha generado problemas, pero que condicionó su embarazo en el sentido que fue catalogado "de riesgo" y le hicieron un seguimiento más cercano. Tuvo un parto hospitalario en el que todo fue bien, y que a ella le resultó una experiencia absolutamente increíble. Pero en el caso de Ariadna, lo más complicado vino después, al acabar la cuarentena. Seguía sangrando abundantemente, y finalmente la causa resultó ser un pedazo de placenta acreta, que se había quedado adherida al útero, y al intervenir para quitarla causó una hemorragia importante. Espero que este episodio te resulte valioso, ¡clica PLAY y empezamos! ************************ Por petición popular, por fin me he decidido a grabar mis propios relatos de parto - y me hace mucha ilusión compartirlos contigo, porque además vendrá con una invitación especial.

Have you ever heard of “placenta previa”? Most people have not. It's a condition that can become serious for pregnant women, so awareness of its potential symptoms is key. In this episode, you will learn about the magical organ that is the placenta and its function and…potential issues that can arise. Also, we discuss how falls during pregnancy can occur because of physiological reasons, and what its implications can be for mom and baby.  I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.

Send us a textIn this episode of At The Bench, Drs. Misty Good and Betsy Crouch speak with Dr. Stephanie Gaw, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at UCSF, about her path to becoming a physician-scientist and her translational research on placental infections. Dr. Gaw shares how early lab experiences, time in the Peace Corps, and a pivot from infectious disease to OB-GYN shaped her focus on maternal immunity and global health.The conversation covers Dr. Gaw's work on sepsis in pregnancy, COVID-19 and RSV vaccine responses, and congenital infections like syphilis. She also discusses her approach to building and managing a large placental biorepository, and the importance of thoughtful sample collection for reliable research outcomes. The episode includes practical insights on balancing clinical duties with research, the benefits of peer mentorship, and how clinical observations can drive lab-based investigation.This discussion offers a clear look into the realities and rewards of bridging bedside observations with bench research in maternal-fetal medicine. It's a valuable listen for early-career physician-scientists and anyone interested in the complexities of immunology, placental biology, and perinatal infection.As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Placenta accreta is one of the most dangerous and rapidly growing challenges in obstetrics, and CRNAs are often on the front lines when things go wrong. This week we're joined by OB anesthesia specialists Kira Bruck, CRNA and Kelsey Getzloff, DNP, CRNA to share the latest research, discuss the reasons behind the increase in cases, and outline essential anesthesia strategies for managing high-risk deliveries. Coordination, communication, and preparation saves lives and this episode will help inform CRNAs about what's most important to know about accreta cases. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

  How can art serve as a powerful way to honor pregnancy, birth, and parenting experiences—especially for families who are often underrepresented in birth spaces?   In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker explores this question with Lauren J. Turner, a Baltimore-based artist, birth worker, and founder of Birth Nerds. Lauren shares how her own home birth experiences, her journey with postpartum and neurodivergence, and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis shaped her path into birth work and fine art.   Together, Rebecca and Lauren explore how art can be a healing, meditative process for birthing families, and a meaningful tool for birth workers to honor their clients' journeys. Lauren opens up about creating paintings that reflect diverse parenting experiences—from lactation to the NICU—and how she uses bold colors and imagery to bring visibility to Black and Brown families in maternal health.   (03:44) Lauren's First Home Birth Experience and the Impact of Midwives (06:28) A Challenging Second Birth and the Role of Trust and Teamwork (11:19) Starting Over with Doula Training and the Importance of Comprehensive Education (12:27) Living with Multiple Sclerosis and Being Dismissed by the Healthcare System (19:29) Redefining Rest through Art and Creativity (27:51) Exploring Themes in Maternal Health and Parenting Art (28:34) How Parents and Birth Workers Can Use Art to Process Birth (35:41) The Beauty of the Placenta in Art (37:10) Fiber Arts in Birth Work and Creative Expression (40:21) Uplifting Lactation Through Art and Community   Resources Explore Lauren's art: laurenjturnerfineart.com Follow Lauren on Instagram: @birthnerds Shop prints, shirts, and stickers: birthnerds.com Learn more about Mamatoto Village: mamatotovillage.org EBB 92 – Impacts of the Community Birth Worker Model with Aza Nedhari Discover MamAmor Dolls: mamamordolls.com For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

We all think we know the story of pregnancy. Sperm meets egg, followed by nine months of nurturing, nesting, and quiet incubation. this story isn't the nursery rhyme we think it is. In a way, it's a struggle, almost like a tiny war. And right on the front lines of that battle is another major player on the stage of pregnancy that not a single person on the planet would be here without. An entirely new organ: the placenta.In this episode, which we originally released in 2021, we take you on a journey through the 270-day life of this weird, squishy, gelatinous orb, and discover that it is so much more than an organ. It's a foreign invader. A piece of meat. A friend and parent. And it's perhaps the most essential piece in the survival of our kind.This episode was reported by Heather Radke and Becca Bressler, and produced by Becca Bressler and Pat Walters, with help from Matt Kielty and Maria Paz Gutierrez. Additional reporting by Molly Webster.Special thanks to Diana Bianchi, Julia Katz, Sam Behjati, Celia Bardwell-Jones, Mathilde Cohen, Hannah Ingraham, Pip Lipkin, and Molly Fassler.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Heather Radke and Becca Bresslerwith help from - Molly WebsterProduced by - Becca Bresslerwith help from - Pat Walters, Maria Paz GutierrezEPISODE CITATIONS:Articles:Check out Harvey's latest paper published with Julia Katz.Sam Behjati's latest paper on the placenta as a "genetic dumping ground". Signup for our newsletter!!
