Podcasts about Pregnancy

There is an in-depth episode on the Safety of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) and Other OTC Medications During Pregnancy. Acetaminophen is an over-the-counter analgesic for pain relief and an antipyretic, which reduces fever. Acetaminophen is also known by the brand names Tylenol, Paracetamol, and Panadol. That episode covers the recently raised concerns about prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism spectrum disorder. If you haven't listened to that one yet, it provides important background on how this controversy started and what the evidence says. After that episode aired, I received numerous emails from listeners who had additional questions. Let's take a look at some follow-up questions to navigate some specific scenarios and make an informed choice about acetaminophen.

Today we're talking about raising girls—what it means to help them feel strong in both body and mind, and how we as parents can nurture that confidence from an early age. My guest is Kate Rope, an award-winning journalist and the author of the new book, Strong as a Girl: Your Guide to Raising Girls Who Know, Stand Up for, and Take Care of Themselves. In this episode, we talk about empowerment, self-compassion, and listening deeply to our daughters, as well as the role parents play in creating a supportive environment. We also explore the importance of representing diverse experiences, including those of neurodivergent girls, and how to help our kids develop a strong, steady inner voice.

Today's episode is such a beautiful reminder that God truly is in the details. My guest, Michelle Wolf, is a mom of two who lives in Mexico. She chose homebirth for both of her babies, and while her first didn't go the way she had hoped — including a difficult recovery after tearing — God used her second birth story to show His faithfulness in such a powerful way. For baby number two, Michelle and her family traveled five hours to their midwife's home, and once again, God showed up — not just in the timing of everything, but in His presence as He met Michelle in her fear of tearing again. This episode is a testament that God knows the desires of your heart because He's the one who places them there. He designed birth with purpose and order, and when we follow His blueprint, blessings abound. But before we dive into Michelle's story, I have an exciting announcement to share. I've really been seeking the Lord lately about what He wants for this podcast and my role in the birth world — how I can best bring glory and honor to Him. And to be honest, I've been in such a season of transition. It's been stretching and uncomfortable… kind of like that moment in labor when you think you can't go any further, and that's exactly when transformation happens. Well, that transformation is here. I've gotten clear confirmation from the Lord to close down the coaching side of my business — something I've loved and invested so much into. And while it doesn't make sense on paper, I feel an incredible peace about it. Now don't worry — you can still work with me! It's just going to look a little different. ✨ This month, I'm hosting a brand-new masterclass called Renew Your Mind for Birth — a practical, faith-filled workshop designed to help you prepare for your God-designed homebirth. You'll learn what surrendering your birth to Jesus really looks like, uncover subconscious fears that might be sabotaging your pregnancy and homebirth dreams, and connect with other women who are preparing for a Jesus-centered birth experience. It's happening October 24th at 12:30pm CST on Zoom, and if you can't make it live, don't worry — I'll send you the replay so you won't miss a thing.

Julie Cobalt is an attorney with over 25 years of experience as a Conflict Resolution Expert with 1,200 successful mediations accomplished. After many years of working with large companies, Julie is now supporting families in resolving their conflicts, and offering workshops on navigating challenging times such as divorce. Julie shared a story of her mom who was always seeking validation through helping people outside of her family. This led to a fascinating conversation about the balance of taking care of others with taking care of yourself, but also questioning whom you seek validation from and why; how to shift perspective to see where the other person is coming from; and the importance of understanding before you react. Julie shared her inner journey of working on her relationship with her mother, and also the biggest lesson she learned as a Conflict Resolution Expert - she kindly shared her theory of “3 Buckets” which can help soften any relationship. A big thank you to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for sending such an amazing guest my way!  To learn more about Julie, her coaching and workshops, please visit her website here.  Subscribe to Ana's new "Mama Loves…” newsletter here.  To contact Ana, to be a guest, or suggest a guest, please send your mail to: info@thankyoumama.net For more about “Thank You, Mama", please visit: http://www.thankyoumama.net Connect with Ana on social media: https://www.instagram.com/anatajder/ https://www.facebook.com/ana.tajder

Joining me this week is Kate Rope. We're talking about how parents can raise daughters who feel strong, capable, and deeply connected to themselves, while also supporting our own mental health as parents.   Together we explore:   - How to parent from hope (rather than fears) and why this can help your child feel safer, more capable, and resilient. - How identifying your family's "North Star values" can guide you through tough parenting decisions. - The deceptively simple, yet powerful shift of pausing and listening before reacting. - Practical ways to nurture assertiveness, support healthy friendships, and help girls trust their inner voice. - Why our own self-care and modeling are essential to raising strong, emotionally secure kids. - How to create everyday opportunities for girls to practice autonomy, confidence, and consent.   Whether you're raising a daughter or simply want to strengthen the emotional wellbeing of the kids in your care, this conversation is filled with insight, validation, and real-life strategies you can start using right away.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Many were feeling whiplash from the headlines about Tylenol, pregnancy, and health, so Episode 64 was born. Then, questions flooded in, prompting this follow-up episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, which covers the most common questions listeners asked. Join host Jamie Belz and fellow NTP Nolan Gleich in this foundations-first, bio-individuality-driven practitioner and parent advocate response to cut through the noise with practical, hopeful, and doable steps for real families.  You'll hear root-cause thinking (not “bandaid fixes”), how to build your “wellness web” of aligned practitioners, and simple daily changes that can make a meaningful difference. This episode is encouraging and actionable—perfect for any parent who wants clarity and calm. Questions answered: Tylenol & neurodevelopment: “How could acetaminophen be associated with neurodevelopmental concerns, and what might be happening biologically?” Glutathione support basics: “If acetaminophen depletes glutathione, what foundational supports (like NAC, vitamin C, selenium) are commonly discussed?” Folate forms, decoded: “What's the difference between folate, folic acid, L-methylfolate, and folinic acid?” Leucovorin & the FRAT test: “What is leucovorin and why do some clinicians use it in kids? What is the folate receptor autoantibody test (FRAT) and what does it screen for?” Prenatal picks: “Why do some parents look for prenatals with folate instead of folic acid?” Food-first options to support wellness: Plus sneaky ways to add organ meats to meals! Pregnancy comfort without Tylenol: “What are gentle ways to handle headaches, nausea, and body aches? Fever guidance for moms & kids: “When is comfort care enough, and what are simple hydration/electrolyte strategies that actually help?” Dyes & behavior: “Why do some families try an artificial-dye-free week (think Red 40, Yellow 5/6) and what swaps make it easy?” Building your support team: “How do I find practitioners aligned with a foundations-first approach and navigate conflicting advice with confidence?” Why you'll love it Empowering, not scary: Zero doom. Just clear next steps you can try tonight. Bio-individuality first: We honor that every mom, every baby, every child is different. Foundations before fads: Sleep, minerals, protein, movement, and gentle supports you can actually sustain. Hope, front and center: Realistic, compassionate guidance for families in the thick of it. Heads up: Nothing here is medical advice.

Today's episode is part of our Christian parenting mini-series we are offering on “Motherhood Taboos” and we are tackling a big taboo of finding out you're pregnant ... and you weren't planning to be. Our guests are both priests who found themselves unexpectedly pregnant and want to narrate the grief and the joy, the surprise and the wonder, and the challenge and hope of a blessing that can leave you limping from a worldview that supports women's autonomy, choice, and freedom. MORE ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Rev. Mia Kano is an Episcopal priest in the Diocese of Massachusetts, where she serves as the part-time Rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Ayer. She lives in Acton, Massachusetts with her husband and two children. Rev. Mia's childhood was shaped by both Catholic and Congregationalist churches. She found her way to the Episcopal Church in her early twenties after exploring secular humanism and Islam. She was ordained as a priest in January 2020. Rev. Reagan Gonzalez was born in Odessa, Texas and raised in Bozeman, Montana. She grew up attending St. James Episcopal Church in Bozeman and later served as its Youth Director and Christian Formation Director before attending seminary. She is a graduate of Montana State University with a degree in Microbiology. After college, Reagan spent a year living in intentional community during a year of service with the Episcopal Service Corps. This experience deepened her faith and confirmed a desire to formally discern a call to ordained ministry. She earned an MDiv from the Seminary of the Southwest in Austin, Texas and was ordained to the priesthood in 2018. Reagan has a passion for community life that is grounded in inclusivity. She loves to preach, teach, tell Godly Play stories to children, and introduce people to an open-minded Christianity where questions are welcomed, and where we trust that we learn best by struggling together to hear where the Holy Spirit is calling. Reagan is married to Bryan, they have two children, and one on the way. +++Like what you hear?

In this empowering episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons welcomes bestselling author and women's-hormone expert Dr. Mariza Snyder for a candid conversation about perimenopause—the most misunderstood phase in women's health. Drawing on 17 years in practice and her own journey through postpartum, Hashimoto's, and perimenopause, Dr. Snyder unpacks what really happens when estrogen and progesterone begin to decline—and why this “zone of opportunity” is every woman's call to action.Together, she and Dr. Jenn break down the cultural myths, medical gaslighting, and scientific blind spots that leave millions of women unheard. They discuss brain fog, mood shifts, metabolic changes, and why bioidentical hormone therapy—when properly prescribed—can protect the brain, heart, and bones. It's an honest, hopeful roadmap for women to reclaim their vitality, advocate for better care, and navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.✨ Don't miss Dr. Mariza Snyder's new book, The Perimenopause Revolution, available now for pre-order at drmariza.com/book and officially releasing October 21, 2025.

The flu is a contagious disease caused by the influenza virus. In most healthy adults, flu symptoms are typically mild and resolve within about a week. However, during pregnancy, the body's heightened inflammatory response can increase the risk of complications. To reduce these risks and provide passive immunity to babies, healthcare professionals recommend that pregnant women receive the flu vaccine during flu season. Deciding whether to get vaccinated during pregnancy can be a challenging task, as it involves weighing all of the potential risks and benefits. Additionally, you have choices regarding the type of flu vaccine and the timing of administration. This episode reviews the research and considerations for making an informed decision about the flu vaccine during pregnancy. This episode is up to date for the 2025-26 flu season.

HEY, QUICK THING BEFORE WE START: If you're listening to this and you've ever thought "I want to support bereaved mothers but I don't know how to turn this calling into something real"—keep reading. I'm hosting a FREE masterclass on October 22 where I'm pulling back the curtain on how to go from "maybe one day" to "I'm doing this professionally now." It's called Loss to Purpose, and in 90 minutes I'm showing you: → The exact framework I use (and teach worldwide) to support pregnancy loss → Why you don't need to be "healed" or "perfect" to start → How to design YOUR unique offering while you learn (not 6 months after you finish) This isn't offered in any other pregnancy loss certification. Grab your free seat: https://www.sharnasouthan.com/loss-to-purpose-masterclass Alright, now let's get into today's episode about... _______________________ In this heartfelt solo episode, Sharna opens up about a recent application for the Pregnancy Loss & Trauma informed Practitioner Certification that moved her deeply and sparked an important conversation about purpose, calling, and legacy. While October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, bereaved families need support all year round—in February, in May on Mother's Day, in November, and on those unmarked due dates. This episode explores why one month of awareness isn't enough and how your experience of loss can become medicine for others. Sharna addresses a powerful truth: when we say no to ourselves out of fear or financial concerns, we're saying no to our baby's legacy and to all the families whose lives could be transformed by our presence. Key Topics Discussed Why pregnancy and infant loss support is needed 365 days a year, not just in October The ripple effect of transforming personal loss into professional healing work Understanding that your grief journey can become someone else's roadmap The real cost of saying no to yourself and your calling How to move past financial fears and explore possibilities The difference between awareness and specialized trauma-informed support Your experience as medicine that the world desperately needs Memorable Quotes "Your experience of loss has the power to be someone else's lifeline." "When you say yes to becoming a pregnancy loss practitioner, you're not just saying yes to learning skills. You're saying yes to becoming a conduit for transformation." "You have empathy that can't be taught in textbooks. You have presence that can't be learned from videos." "Every day you say no to yourself is another day that families who need you are still waiting." About Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month October 15th marks the Wave of Light, a global day of remembrance for babies gone too soon. This episode honours all families navigating the profound grief of pregnancy and infant loss while emphasising the need for year-round specialised support.

Send us a text Could belly support bands, kino tape, belly wraps etc. be the hidden key to postpartum recovery? What about wearing one during your pregnancy, will that actually help prevent diastasis recti/pelvic girdle pain etc? In today's episode, I discuss the real deal with taping and belly bands during pregnancy. Despite their popularity, there's a lack of evidence to suggest they prevent diastasis recti; instead, strengthening exercises prove to be the more effective method. I talk about what they do help with, how you should use one and what you should be looking for if you're looking to buy one.I also tackle the widespread claim that oats, brewer's yeast (and other supplements) are the answer to increased breastmilk production. The conversation doesn't end there – we dive into the emotional whirlpool that new mothers face, especially the fear of not producing enough breast milk; a concern for a staggering 76% of mothers, according to a survey. I examine the reliability of this statistic and the societal pressure to steer clear of formula supplementation. Here's the link to the brewer's yeast study.I also talk about Geraldine DeRuiter's highly anticipated book "If You Can't Take the Heat,". This is one that I'm really looking forward to reading when it comes out, and when I clear the HUGE stack of books on my bedside table.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this special episode of The Drive, Peter addresses the recent headlines linking acetaminophen (Tylenol) use during pregnancy to autism in exposed children. Recognizing the confusion these claims have sparked among patients, listeners, and the broader public, Peter uses this episode to provide a framework for thinking critically about complex conditions and the research related to them. He highlights the dramatic rise in autism diagnoses over recent decades, noting that multifactorial conditions rarely have a single cause, and emphasizes the importance of resisting oversimplified explanations. Peter also stresses that humans are not naturally wired for scientific thinking, making disciplined frameworks like the Bradford Hill criteria essential for evaluating causality in epidemiology. Ultimately, he uses this framework to explore the evidence surrounding acetaminophen use during pregnancy and its potential link to autism. We discuss: Laying the groundwork for this discussion, the rise in autism rates, and the value in using frameworks [1:00]; The FDA pregnancy drug categories, where Tylenol falls within that framework, and a structured method for evaluating scientific evidence and causality [6:00]; What exactly are the claims being made about acetaminophen and autism? [13:45]; The increase in autism rates and why so many things are being linked to autism: the multiple comparisons problem [15:00]; Evaluating the review paper that triggered the recent concern over acetaminophen and autism [21:45]; Breaking down the largest studies on prenatal Tylenol exposure and autism: is there a causal link? [35:00]; Why observational studies can't prove causality, the role of confounding variables, and the importance of frameworks like the Bradford Hill criteria [43:30]; Applying the Bradford Hill criteria: testing the case for Tylenol and autism [45:45]; Putting it all together to answer the question: Does acetaminophen use during pregnancy increase the risk of autism? [56:15]; If autism risk is overwhelmingly genetic, what explains the dramatic rise in autism diagnoses? [59:15]; Other risk factors for autism: parental age, maternal health, environment, and where Tylenol fits in [1:09:15]; Medication use during pregnancy: balancing risks, benefits, and FDA categories [1:15:15]; Considerations for taking Tylenol during pregnancy [1:19:30]; Final thoughts: critical thinking, balanced risk assessment, and the importance of context when evaluating medications like Tylenol during pregnancy [1:22:30]; and More.
