4.8 out of 5 stars from 120 ratings
  • Zero stars

    Tried to listen to the episode about SSRIs and couldn’t even get past the first 5 minutes of the guest speaking.Horrible interviewing skills from the host.

    The guest had her child interrupting her, which is fine, but edit it out? I don’t want to listen to the guest asking her child to be quiet. Not everyone needs a podcast…

  • Good info, but her birth story podcast made me question if I want to keep listening to her

    I have listened to a handful of episodes that presented information on birth in general, and they were interesting. I was curious about her birth story when I saw that episode come out, so I listened to that (first episode I’ve listened to where she shared personal information rather than general birth education), and it honestly rubbed me the wrong way on several different occasions. First, I was weirded out by the fact that she referred to her baby as “they/them” throughout almost the entire e... more

  • Not the full perspective

    I continue to listen to this podcast because it gives valuable information. The podcast give you the information that medical providers do not want you to know but it does not give you the information to put the information the providers do want you to know into context. It is so hard to find places that give you the full picture. I feel like this podcast give you the alternate perspective on the topics discussed, but it only give you the opposite side not both sides. The effect this podcast had... more

  • Only women can give birth

    Info isn’t bad, however, how can people take your info seriously when you don’t even admit the biggest fact of biology and birth? Only BIOLOGICAL WOMEN can give birth.

Ep. 430: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum with Dr. Lasseter

Rare cases like certain high-risk medications (e.g., valproic acid) may require stopping or switching, but these decisions require thorough discussion of risks with a clinician.
Ep. 430: Mental Health Medications in Pregnancy & Postpartum with Dr. Lasseter
Q: What should someone do if they're pregnant and on antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds?
Discuss risks of stopping suddenly versus tapering, review specific meds, and weigh the risks of untreated illness against medication exposure; many cases involve continuing treatment with careful monitoring.
Ep. 428 How to Plan for a Gentle Homebirth Transfer with Jen Walts
Q: How should families approach documenting transfer preferences with hospitals or providers?
Families should use a detailed backup-location birth-preference sheet, share it with all involved providers, and consider a concise top-10 list to print in the birth bag for quick reference during a transfer.
Ep. 428 How to Plan for a Gentle Homebirth Transfer with Jen Walts
Q: What's the value of creating a transfer plan before you're actually transferring?
A transfer plan provides agency, clarifies who will advocate for you, outlines your top values, and sets expectations for how care will shift between locations, which reduces trauma and confusion.
Ep. 428 How to Plan for a Gentle Homebirth Transfer with Jen Walts
Q: What are the most common reasons a transfer happens from home birth to a hospital or birth center?
The main reasons are concerns about the health of the birther or baby, and the need for additional tools or support such as pain management or vaginal delivery aids that aren't available in the home setting.
