On this week’s episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, we’ll be discussing second-trimester topics in an “ask me anything” style episode.
I love doing these for you all, and it seems that you enjoy them too! We’ll cover subjects such as peeing while sneezing, kick counts, the glucose tolerance test, birth classes, placenta previa, and more!
All the questions on today’s show were submitted via Instagram stories, and I’ve selected a few that I want to answer in more detail than I can provide on Instagram.
If you enjoy this type of episode, I recommend checking out Episode 168 for another excellent Q&A! But for now, let’s dive into this week’s episode.
A peek at the questions we covered:
- Is it normal to gain a lot of weight while pregnant?
- Is it normal to gain weight during the first trimester?
- What is marginal cord insertion? Should I worry about it?
- How to deal with urinary incontinence while pregnant?
