In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast, hosts Gina and Roxanne talk with Allison, who shares her compelling birth story. At 34 weeks pregnant, Allison noticed decreased fetal movement and, after listening to the podcast's 'Count the Kicks' episode, decided to seek medical attention. This decision likely saved her baby's life. Allison discusses her pregnancy journey, her initial plans for a natural birth, the end-of-pregnancy scare, and how an emergency C-section became necessary to save her baby. The conversation emphasizes the importance of monitoring fetal movements and listening to one's intuition. They also cover the challenges of navigating a NICU stay and offer advice for other expectant parents.00:00 Introduction to the MamasteFit Podcast01:49 Meet Allison: A Birth Story Begins02:27 Allison's Pregnancy Journey04:10 Birth Plan and Preparations07:48 Decreased Fetal Movement: A Turning Point12:07 Hospital Visit and Emergency C-Section21:33 NICU Experience and Postpartum Reflections26:23 Advice for Expecting Mothers30:32 Conclusion and Gratitude34:03 Sponsor Message and Final Thoughts

Chlorpyrifos exposure during pregnancy causes lasting brain damage in children after birth, including thicker cortex regions, reduced white matter, and impaired fine motor skills development Prenatal pesticide exposure triggers neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, creating a cycle of mitochondrial damage that reduces blood flow and neuronal density in developing brains Female babies show higher vulnerability to chlorpyrifos effects, experiencing more sleep apnea, breathing problems, and elevated inflammatory molecules in brain tissue than males Pesticide exposure alters gene expression through epigenetic changes, permanently affecting how the brain responds to stress, inflammation, and memory formation throughout life Strategies to protect your health include filtering drinking water, exercising regularly, improving indoor air quality, and choosing organic produce to reduce pesticide exposure

 In this episode, Stef and I sit down with Ryan Woodbury, co-founder of Needed, to unpack what most women aren't being told about nutrition for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. We discuss what's missing from standard prenatals, why nutrient needs skyrocket (and stay elevated) long after birth, and how to actually support your body through each phase.

In this powerful  and transformative episode, I welcome back Kristin Revere; doula, educator, and author of Supported: Your Guide to Birth.  Together share our personal experiences for a deeply uplifting conversation on empowered inductions. Kristen shares her personal experience of being induced at 39 weeks due to preeclampsia, and reflects on how it shaped her work supporting other women through birth. I share my experience of listening to my intuition and delaying an induction for 5 weeks, until I was 41 weeks, when I had to fully step into my power, to surrender to a deeply beautiful birth. Together, we unpack the alarmingly rising rates of induction, the often untapped role of doulas, birth coaches, and the ability to access our deep inner wisdom of birth. All the essential tools every woman and birth partner should have — including breathing, advocacy, and knowing when to pause. So whether you're planning an induction or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of practical insights and heartfelt support. You've got this! Connect with Kirstin on:

Pregnancy fitness has undergone a revolution. What was once a landscape of caution and restriction has transformed into one of empowerment and evidence-based freedom. In this candid exploration, pelvic floor physical therapist Christina Previtt shares both personal experience and cutting-edge research showing just how dramatically prenatal exercise recommendations have evolved.Remember when lifting anything over 20 pounds during pregnancy was considered dangerous? When heart rate limits were gospel? When certain sports were absolutely off-limits? Those days are rapidly disappearing as research consistently demonstrates that pregnant bodies are far more capable than previously believed. Christina walks us through the mountain of evidence now supporting strength training during pregnancy, including studies showing that previously feared practices like lifting heavy weights, exercising on your back, and holding your breath during lifts pose no threat to mother or baby. Similarly, intensity restrictions for cardio have been largely debunked, with studies of ultramarathoners and other endurance athletes challenging our assumptions about exercise limits.Perhaps most fascinating is the shift in how we approach sports participation during pregnancy. From soccer players to equestrians to even bull riders, athletes are pushing back against blanket restrictions in favor of individualized risk assessment based on their intimate knowledge of their sports and bodies. The trend is clear: pregnancy exercise is moving away from one-size-fits-all prescriptions toward personalized approaches that respect each individual's unique pregnancy journey.Christina also candidly addresses where research gaps remain, particularly around the pelvic floor, and shares exciting developments from her current research that may soon provide answers to these lingering questions. Whether you're an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or health professional, this episode offers valuable perspective on how far we've come and where we're headed in the world of pregnancy fitness.Have questions about exercise during pregnancy or postpartum that you'd like to see addressed by future research? Christina would love to hear from you as she continues her work in this rapidly evolving field.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

High blood pressure in pregnancy isn't just a number—it can signal serious complications that put both mom and baby at risk. In this episode, we unpack the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, and chronic hypertension. We'll discuss how these conditions are diagnosed, why they matter, and how they're managed to protect both maternal and fetal health. Whether you're a parent-to-be, a birth worker, or just curious, this episode gives you the essential info you need—straight from an OB/GYN and a pediatrician.

Curious if prenatal perineal massage actually works to prevent tears during childbirth? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker examines the evidence on perineal massage in late pregnancy, separating fact from fiction and sharing what the research really shows. You'll learn what major studies say about perineal massage, why some commonly cited research may not be trustworthy, and whether this practice is truly necessary, especially if you're in a birth setting with low episiotomy rates. You'll also hear some surprising insights on other ways to protect your perineum and reduce your risk of severe tears.

Edwards syndrome (trisomy 18) affects approximately 1 in 5,000 to 6,000 live births. Patau syndrome (also known as Trisomy 13) is even less common, occurring in about 1 in 8,000 to 12,000 live births. About 20% of cases of Patau syndrome are caused by translocation. On the other hand, approximately 10% of Edwards syndrome cases are caused by a genetic translocation. Both conditions result in a wide range of birth anomalies including the heart, kidneys, and brain as well as cognitive limitations. Both of these conditions are part of maternal cell free fetal DNA testing (NIPTs). Prenatal counseling for expectant parents whose fetus was found to have T13 or T18 once focused exclusively on options for pregnancy termination or postnatal comfort care, on the presumptive basis that all affected infants died. However, examination of contemporary outcomes for these infants suggests that death in the neonatal period is not universal, particularly for infants who receive intensive medical and surgical care after birth. Although severe cognitive and motor impairment and shortened lifespan are anticipated for all survivors, some infants with these disorders live for 1 year or more, and some attain social and interactive milestones, with positive quality of life noted by their caregivers. This has led to newly updated guidance released by the AAP on July 21, 2025. This is a marked shift in counseling for parents of an affected child. Here, we will review what this new guidance is, and what it isn't. Listen in for details.1.https://publications.aap.org/pediatrics/article/doi/10.1542/peds.2025-072719/202649/Guidance-for-Caring-for-Infants-and-Children-With Guidance for Caring for Infants and Children With Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18: Clinical Report | Pediatrics | American Academy of Pediatrics

In this episode, Dr Leah talks with Ryan and Julie, the co-founders of Needed. They dive into something often seen in practice: nutrient depletion. Why so many women are starting motherhood already depleted—and how that affects everything from fertility to postpartum recovery and long-term health. Ryan and Julie aren't your average supplement founders. They built Needed alongside a community of practitioners like Dr. Leah, who were asking for better solutions—not just what looks good on a label, but what actually supports women's bodies. They discuss how they met Dr. Leah, why Dr. Leah chose to partner with them, and how they've created products and education that reflect what women truly need. If you've ever wondered whether your prenatal is enough, or felt dismissed by one-size-fits-all advice—this one's for you. We start at the beginning, with how Ryan and Julie got into this work and why they knew something major was missing in women's health, and end with the amazing nutritional study they have done and what it has been like having babies and raising families while also growing this amazing company.This episode is sponsored by:Redmond Salt >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 15% on your order.Needed >> Click here and use code HEALTHYMOTHER to save 20% off your first order.Lumebox >> Click here and use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER for $260 off.Resources From This Episode:More About Needed, Julie and RyanNeeded AcademyOrder Needed supplements here with code HEALTHYMOTHERStay Connected With Us:Healthy As A Mother: www.healthyasamother.comInstagram: @healthyasamotherpodcastDr. Leah: www.womanhoodwellness.comInstagram: @drleahgordonDr. Morgan: www.milkmedicine.comInstagram: @morganmacdermott

This week's episode I sat down with Ryan Woodbury, co-founder and co-CEO of one of our favourite supplement company's Needed who are championing radically better nutrition for women, their families and the earth. Ryan shared with us the shocking discoveries of Needed's IRB-approved clinical study, and that they found 95% of women were nutritionally depleted, even if they were taking a standard prenatal already. We chatted about the importance of tailored nutrition support, why we're seeing these nutrient deficiencies basically across the board in women, and how we can support women through fertility and pregnancy in a more well-rounded way.    You can read more about Needed's clinical study at thisisneeded.com/thrive or learn more about why this is important and how to help at neededacademy.com    Needed also has generously offered our podcast community 20% off their first order of supplements with the code DRKELSEY over at thisisneeded.com  Ready to lay the foundational groundwork to optimize your chances of getting pregnant, and include our partner in the process with research-driven support?
