Dr.Carrie Pagliano does a fantastic job at delving into active mother lifestyles, as well as, postpartum mental health and care. However, Dr.Waggel’s episode on perinatal mental health was particularly captivating, focusing in on intrusive thoughts and exercise during pregnancy, providing a new outlook on maternal mental health!

“Active Mom Podcast” offers a unique perspective on the pregnancy and postpartum experience. I started listening with the most recent episode featuring Dr. Stephanie Waggel. Her perspective on medication management for mental and physical health issues during pregnancy were so reassuring. I didn’t know I could see a psychiatrist who specializes in perinatal health. Will definitely be recommending her to my pregnant friends. Excited to listen to more episodes!
