このコンテンツについて
Erica (32 weeks!) and Hillary kick things off with a bump update, a baby-shower wardrobe saga, and a funny “am I late…or pregnant?!” moment—then OB-GYN Dr. Kate White joins to walk first-time moms through Labor & Delivery 101.
We cover:
- Stages of labor in plain English (what Braxton Hicks really are, and the 5-1-1 rule)
- When to head to the hospital vs. when it’s okay to wait
- Pain management options: preparing for unmedicated birth, when to ask for an epidural, what “too late” actually means, and non-pharmacologic tools (showers, TENS, nitrous where available)
- Induction 101: Bishop score basics, ARRIVE trial takeaways, and cervical-ripening methods (Cervidil/misoprostol, Foley bulb, Dilapan, membrane rupture, Pitocin)
- Water breaking myths: why it doesn’t always mean sprinting to L&D (and when it does)
- Rapid-fire truths: delayed cord clamping (how long is actually helpful), eating during labor (what’s smart), and whether you can still move with an epidural
- What to ask on your hospital tour: anesthesia availability, epidural timing policies, nitrous/TENS access, birth bars/balls, and shower use
- Reassurance for anxious moms: how to voice fears, why flexibility is your secret superpower, and keeping the main goal—healthy mom, healthy baby—front and center
Guest: Dr. Kate White, OB-GYN, Lowcountry OB/GYN (Charleston, SC) — co-host of the podcast Heads & Tails.
