    218: In this episode, I'm covering one of the most requested and controversial topics in women's health—whether breast cancer survivors can safely use hormone replacement therapy (HRT). To help answer this complex question, I'm joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society certified practitioner, and Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Menn brings a powerful blend of clinical expertise and lived experience. She's a 23-year breast cancer survivor, BRCA gene carrier, and went through premature menopause herself. We cover what the research really says about HRT after breast cancer, risks versus benefits, the reality of estrogen deprivation, and why “it depends” is the only honest answer. Topics Discussed: → Can breast cancer survivors safely use HRT? → Is hormone therapy after breast cancer risky? → What are the benefits of estrogen for cancer survivors? → Does HRT increase breast cancer recurrence? → Are there safe hormone options for BRCA carriers?

    Hey Mama! Welcome back to Pregnancy Unpacked with Trish, your pregnancy bestie. We're diving into weeks 22-24, where your baby's hitting papaya size and your bump's stealing the show! Trish breaks down baby's big developments, your body's changes, and the emotional weight of this in-between season. You're carrying a lot, but you're not alone - let's unpack it together!What's Happening with BabySize: Baby's about the size of a papaya (~11-12 inches, ~1.5 pounds).Development: Lungs are producing surfactant, key for breathing at birth. Eyelids are opening, eyelashes are forming, and baby's hearing is sharp—reacting to your voice or loud noises. Movements are getting stronger, with a unique rhythm starting to emerge.Cool Moment: Trish shares a sweet memory of her son Grayson startling during an ultrasound—proof of that magical connection!What's Happening with YouPhysical Changes: Your uterus is ~2 cm above your belly button, stretching ligaments and causing round ligament pain, lower back aches, or sciatica. Braxton Hicks might be noticeable (see Episode 105 for details). Shortness of breath, increased discharge (normal unless foul-smelling), and insane hunger are common.Digestive Issues: Bloating, gas, or reflux? Try papaya enzymes, stay hydrated, and eat balanced meals. Check with your provider for gas pain relief.Sleep Struggles: Feeling tired but not sleeping? Grab a pregnancy pillow (linked in Trish's Amazon shop below).Emotional & Mental Load: Feeling resentful, touched out, or like you're carrying it all? It's normal. Have those hard convos with your partner or support systemAppointments & What to ExpectMonthly provider visits include fundal height checks, Doppler heartbeat monitoring, blood pressure, urine tests, and swelling checks. Discuss cramps, movements, or preterm labor signs.If you have cramping, backaches, or pelvic pressure, your provider may run a fetal fibronectin test or refer you to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist. Always call for fluid leaks, bleeding, or intense pressure - you're advocating, not annoying!Action Steps for Weeks 22-24:Prep questions for your next provider visit.Track anything weird and call your provider if needed.Observe baby's movements - get curious, no formal kick counts yet.Start your postpartum support plan (it's not too early!).Check in with your partner or support person about your emotional and physical needs.You're growing a human and showing up for life—that's superhero stuff, mama!
