  • Training while pregnant episode

    I find this podcast so helpful as I’m preparing for my first pregnancy, however I was disappointed by today’s episode about training during pregnancy. The coach being interviewed was not a professional in anything and could not give sound evidence or facts about the safety of exercise while pregnant. The information was basically: ‘do what you feel like doing’ and ‘you should ask your obstetrician’. I like this podcast due to the accurate and current medical information, but I feel like today’s ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

207. Q&A: Your Luteal Phase & How Does An Extra Placental Lobe Affect My Pregnancy And Birth?
Q: What is the practical significance of luteal phase length for this caller's fertility, given a short luteal phase of about nine days?
The experts suggest that regular ovulation every four weeks is more critical than the exact luteal phase length; focusing on ovulation regularity and where possible achieving consistent monthly ovulation, sometimes with ovulation induction, may improve pregnancy chances.
209. Q&A: What Can You Do To Increase The Success Of An Embryo Transfer? & Gestational Hypertension
Q: During my second pregnancy after gestational hypertension, is there anything I could be doing now to reduce the risk of recurrence this time?
Prioritize preconception blood pressure optimization, ongoing exercise and healthy lifestyle, and plan for earlier and more frequent blood pressure monitoring in the first trimester, with consideration of aspirin if indicated by previous preeclampsia history and close surveillance if hypertension recurs.
209. Q&A: What Can You Do To Increase The Success Of An Embryo Transfer? & Gestational Hypertension
Q: Is there anything that I can do to better support the transfer to sticking and staying stuck, such as lifestyle changes or increasing certain foods and whatnot?
Consult with the IVF provider about evidence-based practices and focus on general preconception health—non-smoking, a balanced diet, healthy weight, mental health, and regular exercise—as well as discussing any specific add-ons with strong supporting evidence before proceeding.
199. Q&A: How Much Sleep Do You Need During Pregnancy? & Are Molar Pregnancies Genetic?
Q: Is there a genetic component to molar pregnancies, and should families be tested if they've had a molar pregnancy?
Molar pregnancy is often random, but there is a rare genetic predisposition (familial recurrent hydatidiform mole); testing is typically considered after more than one molar pregnancy, not after a single event.
199. Q&A: How Much Sleep Do You Need During Pregnancy? & Are Molar Pregnancies Genetic?
Q: How many hours of sleep are considered safe in pregnancy, and does daytime napping affect health outcomes?
Evidence suggests a median sleep around 7.2-7.5 hours per night with potential risks for too little or too much sleep, and daytime naps may be linked with certain conditions, but the data are observational and not definitive; individual sleep needs vary.
