Show Notes:

[1:30] Our Review of the Week, MECovell123, said: "I am a pelvic floor PT and I first started listening to this podcast to learn more information about pregnancy and birth for my clients. I continued to listen throughout my own pregnancy and was overwhelmed at the amount of helpful information that helped me prepare mentally and physically for my own delivery. I loved listening to all the positive birth stories and found the information in the class very helpful. I am now a proud mama of a 2 week old little girl and enjoying all the information in the postpartum course! Thank you, Stephanie, for all that you do!"

[2:43] Today's topic is about Vitamin K. Stephanie emphasizes the importance of gathering information to make informed decisions, especially regarding newborn care. There is uncertainty many parents feel about certain medical interventions immediately after birth. While not advocating for or against these interventions, Stephanie aims to provide deeper insight...

We don't shy away from discussing the difficult stuff and this week's episode is no exception!

Since we both have contrasting points-of-view on this topic, it means you'll find a safe space, support, and honest talk

All of the mamas in our community are trying to do what's best by their baby. So even if your decision on this topic is different than someone else's, you deserve all the love and respect we can offer. Keep doing you- you're a GREAT mom!
