  • So fun and informative!

    This podcast is so informative! Lots of great information, and makes you feel less alone in this crazy world of parenting! It feels like I’m sat with friends discussing all those things that you’re afraid to ask, because you don’t realise everyone else is going through the exact same thing….and have the same questions. Great podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Future of Fertility with Lauren Makler
Q: What is the difference between an egg and an embryo, and why does that matter legally and emotionally?
An egg is a fertilizable cell, whereas an embryo is an egg fertilized with sperm that has developed into a genetic child; embryos raise additional questions about custody and future offspring, while eggs can be kept and used later, potentially giving the donor or intended parent clearer rights over their genetic material. This distinction also affects how couples plan for the future and manage legal and ethical considerations.
The Future of Fertility with Lauren Makler
Q: Can you explain the split program and how it reduces cost for people trying to freeze eggs?
The split program allows women aged 21-34 to apply to freeze their eggs for free, storing them at no cost for up to 10 years, with the donor agreeing to donate half of the retrieved eggs to intended parents in need. This model dramatically lowers the upfront financial barrier and creates a pathway for people who might not otherwise afford egg freezing.
Lisps, Milestones & Mouth Tape With Luba Patlakh
Q: What are the basic milestones parents should listen for around 12 months?
Around 12 months, expect babbling such as ba/da/ma and the child may start identifying people with sounds; responding to their name is key. If there is no response or clear sounds, consider checking hearing and speech development early.
More Nutrition Advice That Doesn't Sound Like a Lecture With Haley Miskowiec
Q: Is there an ideal amount of weight to gain during pregnancy?
Haley explains that the ideal gain depends on what each body needs to carry a healthy baby, and the population-based guidelines are not personalized goals; weight gain should be viewed in the context of pre-pregnancy BMI and individual stores, with emphasis on nourishing the body rather than chasing a fixed number.
The Quiet Weight of Infertility With Dr. Liz Grill
Q: At what point do most patients come and see you in the infertility journey?
Most patients begin seeking psychological support after several IVF cycles or when they consider third-party options like donor eggs/sperm or surrogacy; dating to early on when couples realize distress is mounting, but referrals often come after the third cycle or at the switch to assisted options.
