There’s no such thing as TMI as we discuss the big questions: When does a baby stop being a potato? What happens to your vagina? Should you get a pedicure while in labor? If you’re contemplating parenthood, join Emi Nietfeld and Yiren Lu on our far-out adventure!Emi Nietfeld and Yiren Liu 人間関係 子育て

    Comedian, native New Yorker, and stealth pregnant Ginny Hogan joins Emi and Ren to discuss: Where should we raise our kids!
