Hello Friends! It is Wednesday, and Cynthia & Trisha are here with your October Q&A episode.  To kick it off, we share a story from a listener who wanted everyone to know how a routine gynecologic exam in her twenties turned into a precarious moment in her VBAC experience.  Next, we dive into our questions beginning with the potential association between  evening primrose oil in pregnancy, a smelly baby at birth, and early cord clamping--could they all be related?  Then, we go through the real deal on how long breast milk can sit unrefrigerated and still be safe to feed your baby. Next, comes a lengthy discussion on intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)--what is it and how is it diagnosed?  Another mother asks if it is necessary to pump the alternate breast overnight to keep up her supply. Other moms are asking:"If I have bacteria in my urine at eight weeks gestation, do I need antibiotics in labor?  My doctor told be it is non-negotiable." "Is there any correlation between longer pregnancies and meeting developmental milestones sooner?" "Help! I want to support my postpartum friend but have no idea what meals to make; what is a nutritious postpartum meal?"  And, of course, we finish off the episode with a round of quickies touching on pacifiers versus thumb-sucking, home birth, how soon to have sex after trying to conceive, water birth, prolapse, and eating dates for a faster labor!And if that is not enough, you can get more of your questions answered in our extended version of this episode by subscribing to Down To Birth + on Apple or joining our Patreon community.  There, we discuss how uterine fibroids may impact labor, experiencing postpartum insomnia, baby wanting food at just 4 months; setting boundaries with in-laws and managing breastfeeding along with wanting your partner to take at least one of the nighttime feedings. Thank you for all of your awesome questions and for being part of this fabulous community!**********Connect with us on Patreon for our exclusive content.Email Contact@DownToBirthShow.comInstagram @downtobirthshowCall us at 802-GET-DOWN Work with Cynthia: 203-952-7299 HypnoBirthingCT.com Work with Trisha: 734-649-6294 Please remember we don’t provide medical advice.
