Motherhood comes with a million questions. So why is it so hard to get real answers? Why does society tell moms to just “push through,” like it’s just part of the job? And when moms do ask for help, why is the first place we turn to Google? Why are we left scrolling social media or scouring the internet for answers?

That's why we created "So Glad You Asked with Dr. Ruta Nonacs and Allie Hales," a... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Should I Know About My Mental Health During Pregnancy?
Q: How can you balance awareness of risks with staying emotionally present during pregnancy?
Focus on patient-centered risk-benefit analyses, validate concerns, and tailor plans to each person, combining medication when needed with psychotherapy, social support, and self-care strategies to maintain overall wellness.
How Do I Support My Partner When a New Baby Arrives?
Q: When is the ideal time to involve couples in therapy or coaching during the perinatal period?
Earlier is better: engage in conversation and skill-building before pregnancy if possible, or during pregnancy in the second trimester to establish communication norms and cross-training ideas, so the team is prepared when postpartum challenges arise.
How Do I Support My Partner When a New Baby Arrives?
Q: What medical treatments or supports are available for couples where the non-birthing parent is struggling with postpartum anxiety and depression?
Resources exist for both parents, and a united approach—often through couples therapy or joint sessions with a clinician—can address the non-birthing parent's mental health as part of the family system, rather than focusing solely on the birthing parent. Early intervention and education help reduce stigma and improve outcomes for the child and family.
Why Does Miscarriage Feel so Isolating?
Q: How can I manage anxiety with future pregnancies after miscarriage?
Therapy can address anxiety, with options for safe medications when necessary, plus mindfulness and CBT techniques, and giving oneself permission to seek reassurance from clinicians as often as needed.
