Barbie Movie Spoiler Alert...I will be talking about the Barbie movie today! If you have not seen it yet- go see it! Today we are discussing a part of the Barbie movie that not many people are talking about...Barbie's friend Midge...the pregnant Midge.Midge has come and gone in the Barbie franchise many times since she was introduced in the mid-60's. But it was the pregnant version of Midge that was so controversial. Pregnant Midge was introduced in 2002 as part of the "Happy Family" series with Alan and their son Ryan...and Midge almost immediately created such an uproar that the doll was discontinued that same year.Why the uproar? The overwhelming argument was that a pregnant Midge would encourage & glorify pregnancy....what????? Society is perfectly ok with children playing with baby dolls and pretending to be parents...but not ok with playing with an actual mother. The irony!Support the showI want to hear from you!Support & Subscribe- your support helps me to keep making this podcast!

Insight into the research showing that myo-inositol supplementation might support fertility health, especially in women with PCOS. Many studies indicate that inositol could support ovulation and pregnancy in women with PCOS https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28544572/ A primary reason inositol might benefit women with PCOS is that it can improve insulin sensitivity, support the balance of blood glucose levels and reduce insulin resistance https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8425485/ Research has shown that women with PCOS often have high levels of insulin, as they have reduced sensitivity to some functions of insulin https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-59259-716-1_19 These high insulin levels can then cause the ovaries to produce excess testosterone, which can cause an imbalance in LH, luteinizing hormone and FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6781875/ In one study women had lower levels of testosterone and a more ideal balance of LH and FSH after taking inositol supplements for 12-weeks https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23336594/ One study found that inositol improves the quality of embryos and clinical pregnancy rates in women without PCOS utilizing IVF, in vitro fertilization https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29245250/ To receive more support, get your copy of Asking for a Pregnant Friend: 101 Answers to Questions Women Are Too Embarrassed to Ask about Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood And...

Welcome to the Asking for a Pregnant Friend podcast. This podcast is based on the book by the same name and is all about diving into pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood topics our culture has made taboo. We'll also explore topics that I, and you guys, find fascinating. With that said, this is a collaborative podcast. If you have a topic you'd like me to cover, please email me at BaileyGaddis@yahoo.com You can also learn more about me here. Essentially, this podcast is like the modern day Dear Abbey for pregnant women and new moms, or just curious people, who want to get straight, yet loving, answers to the pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood questions they're too afraid to ask. While the journey to motherhood unlocks a wonderland of joy and transformation, it also unlocks a flood of questions women often feel too embarrassed or ashamed to ask. They hold in queries and concerns about their swollen-to-capacity labia, an almost constant desire to masturbate, fears that their partner will cheat on them, strange smells coming from various orifices, being disappointed about their baby's sex, and a litany of other question marks they stuff down, afraid they'll be judged if the words spill out. So these women frantically search through pregnancy, childbirth and mothering books, and online forums, hoping they'll find someone who has had these questions and found compassionate, accurate answers. But they don't. They either find watered down versions of what they seek, or in the case of online forums or chat-rooms, the “shameful” question is often met with vicious judgments that make the woman feel mortified and confused. What they seek are candid answers to their questions no one wants to talk about in an uncensored way. They yearn to explore, and eventually move past, these topics in an upfront manner that's free of judgment. As a childbirth preparation educator and birth doula I've found that once I'm able to get my clients away from the ears of their partners they spill these hidden questions. And as we work through them, I see the women lighten. They feel understood and less alone in what they perceived as their weird or shameful conundrums. This podcast and the book it's based on is the culmination of all the questions I've heard in whispers after childbirth classes, from girlfriends who look over their shoulder at the cafe to make sure no one is listening, or from my YouTube viewers who email questions because they don't want them seen on public comments. These women are leading a secret life in a scary pocket of their mind and want a way out. They want a way to free these hidden concerns by way of answers. My hope is that every time you listen to this podcast you're relieved to find information about one of the questions you didn't think other women had, feel more connected to the worldwide community of soon-to-be mothers and new moms, and find peace as you become informed about the aspects of your journey most shy away from. So, why am I the one to do this podcast? As I've mentioned, I wrote the book on it, but more so this all stemmed from all the shame I felt during my own pregnancies. I had so many questions that I was sure made me other than. I wanted women and their partners to have a one stop shop to go deep into these topics. In addition to personally relating to pretty much everything I talk about on this podcast I'm also deep in the fertility, pregnancy, birth and mothering world professionally. In addition to being an author of pregnancy and birth books, I'm a childbirth educator and birth doula, and own the egg donor agency Graceful Beginnings. I also write for publications like Working Mother, Fit Pregnancy, Pregnancy and Newborn, Redbook, Woman's Day, Good Housekeeping, Scary Mommy, American Baby and other places about pregnancy and beyond. In addition, I write the website content and blogs for many of the biggest fertility clinics in the United States. So yeah, this stuff is my life. The goal is that each week, you're able to tune in and explore taboo topics and those that are just really wild and cool, so you can have a more enlightened, curiosity filled journey into a through motherhood. Thanks for joining me!
Do you have some awkward questions about pregnancy, birth, or mothering you'd like some honest answers to? Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Bailey Gaddis, author of Asking for a Pregnant Friend and Feng Shui Mommy. What We Talked About Having someone you trust to ask all the questions you have Sexuality during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum Does your partner really have to attend the birth? The choices you have as a birthing person The difference between OB-GYN and a Midwife Things to Remember “Don't judge yourself too harshly, there are going to be plenty of times where we think we got it “wrong”. But I can almost guarantee you're doing the absolute best you can.” Bailey Gaddis Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor.
If You Want To Get Out Of Shame When It Comes to Motherhood, You Should: Take small daily steps to learn how to listen to your own inner wisdom Trust yourself and the process of motherhood Be gentle with yourself Being a mother is not for the faint of heart. Being responsible for the health, safety, and wellbeing of another human can be overwhelming in the best of times, but when you experience shame and judgment from your community, it can make everything feel impossible. Releasing Shame and Embarrassment With Bailey Gaddis Bailey Gaddis is the author of Asking for a Pregnant Friend and Feng Shui Mommy. She is passionate about helping new moms address the misunderstanding and taboos around pregnancy and motherhood so that they can enjoy this new journey. Bailey is a childbirth preparation educator, birth doula, hypnotherapist, and regular contributor to various media outlets. She offers women holistic support while providing a space where women can be vulnerable and release the shame and embarrassment that can come from motherhood. Addressing the Fear of the Unknown A lot of the anxiety that comes from motherhood stems from the fear of the unknown. When women can get quality answers to their questions, Bailey has seen firsthand that their fear is reduced, and their shame around their struggles is met with support. Everyone under the sun seems to have an opinion about how you should care for your baby. The stress and shame we experience from the external influences pull us away from our intuition and make it difficult for us to trust our instincts. But when you can learn to trust yourself, you will find what works best for your family. You Hold the Answers Inside of Yourself Rarely will there ever be a perfect answer for any situation, especially when it comes to parenting. But, when you can listen to your inner wisdom, you will most likely be given an intuitive answer that will be the best fit for you and your family. Nothing that you feel, experience, or think during this journey is wrong. This is a wild and complex journey with a lot of challenges, which is why you need to give yourself grace and forgiveness and be gentle with yourself as you navigate this wild, wonderful time. While new motherhood can be scary, it can also be a magical journey with the right support. Are you a new mom, or know someone who is about to become a new mom? Share how Bailey's tips on motherhood resonated with you in the comments section of the episode page. Quotes: “I am putting in a lot of work to have that clear emotional slate going into the birth experience, but for the most part, I am so grateful I have so much more knowledge and experience going into it this time around, and I am able to appreciate it more.” (9:16) “It might be really hard, and that is okay.” (15:51) “I really believe all mothers are the experts on their baby. More so than the pediatrician, your mother-in-law, your mother. You know what is best for your baby. But when we are shrouded in that shame and distracted by that shame, it is harder to tap into that wisdom that we innately have.” (19:04) “Almost always our instincts and our intuition will give us the answer that more often than not is the best one for our unique situation.” (24:56) “There is a lot of misinformation out there, and it really confuses us and can create a lot of conflict as we navigate this which for a lot of women really is a big piece of mothering.” (30:50) In This Episode Why there are so many women who experience shame and fear around pregnancy (10:50) Addressing anxieties and the struggles surrounding postpartum life (14:28) When women typically get more comfortable owning their decisions around their babies (21:14) How to tap into your own innate inner wisdom when you feel like you have lost your path (24:04) The most common questions that women have surrounding breastfeeding, postpartum, and more (26:02) Resources Mentioned: Use Promo Code ‘drmariza' for 15% off Organifi''s Green Juice Asking for a Pregnant Friend by Bailey Gaddis Bailey Gaddis Website Follow Bailey on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Pinterest Other Resources: Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube Podcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes: Essentially You Episode #321: How an Unhealed Betrayal Impacts your Health, Work, and Relationships with Dr. Debi Silber Essentially You Episode #247: How to Approach Postpartum Recover in the 4th Trimester with Dr. Cleopatra Kamperveen Essentially You Episode #297: Is It Possible to “Have It All” As a Mom Today?

In Asking for a Pregnant Friend: 101 Answers to Questions Women Are Too Embarrassed to Ask about Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Motherhood, beloved childbirth educator, doula, and author Bailey Gaddis offers real, safe, savvy, and nonjudgmental answers to the most personal questions about pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood. And, for added support, Bailey enlisted a team of experts for up-to-the-moment scientific and professional information for many of the questions. What is that smell? Is the fetus okay when I have sex? What should I do if I'm sad about my baby's gender? Why do I feel aroused when breastfeeding? Is it normal to be jealous of my baby? Unfortunately, women who summon the courage to ask these questions online are frequently met with unwelcome judgments or inaccurate information. "There are thousands of us slipping away from prying eyes to scan chat rooms and forums, flip through books, and make our fingers numb with Google searches as we look for answers to the same things you came to this book wondering about," writes Bailey. "I don't want you to feel like tracking down answers is a full-time job. I want you to have all the answers in one place, from a friendly, accurate source. I also want those answers to come from a friend who would never judge or make you feel like a weirdo for asking that 'TMI' question. So…can we be friends?"

Today we talk to returning guest Bailey Gaddis, Author of Feng Shui Mommy, about her new book, Asking for a Pregnant Friend. Bailey is a certified Doula, Hypnotherapist, and founding member of the Ojai Valley Birth Collective, among many other accomplishments, and she uses her passion for both birth and writing to help make pregnancy and birth a comfortable and shame-free experience for everyone who reads her work. We talk about Bailey's process in deciding to write her new book, and the way that shame around certain topics prevents pregnant women from getting all the information that they need. We discuss orgasmic birth as well as the culture of shame that forces a lot of us to separate sexuality from birth. We discuss feelings of arousal or anger during breastfeeding and the feelings of shame that can arise from that and why the shame is not necessary. We discuss partner infidelity during pregnancy and the need for communication between to help allay fears about the partner straying. We talk about the causes of why a partner might not want sex as much after the baby arrives and the ways that couples can work through that with communication. We talk about the disappointment some parents may experience when finding out the sex of their baby and how not to beat yourself up about it. We also discuss the feelings that can arise when a mother is pregnant with her second baby and how to ease the worry about not loving the second baby as much as the first. Finally we talk about intrusive thoughts that a lot of women have about potentially hurting their baby or about scary situations that might arise. We discuss what might cause those and when it's a problem. We also discuss the fear of death during childbirth and how to navigate the fear of something that is very real and complex and when to seek help to deal with it. We talk about the bottom line of shame and how shame affects the journey into motherhood, and how learning to release and do away with that shame as a culture will help to make pregnancy, birth, and motherhood a more joyful experience on the whole.
