This week I’m coming at you with an “Ask Me Anything” episode based on questions my listeners submitted on our new podcast hotline!

My plan for 2023 is to do more “Ask me Anything”-style episodes, and to make it even more fun, I want to feature voices from the community!

So, if you’ve got a burning question about pregnancy, birth, or postpartum that you’d like me to answer on the show – all you have to do is call: 919-213-8719 and leave a voice message.

If chosen, I will play the question on a future episode and answer it right here on the show!

In this episode, I will be covering questions about cholestasis, placenta encapsulation, epidurals, and more.

If you love episodes where it’s just me answering questions, do yourself a favor and go listen to the most embarrassing questions about pregnancy and birth on Episode 161 and Episode 162.

Questions covered in this episode:

  • What is the treatment for cholestasis of pregnancy? Should I expect anything different for labor and delivery due to my diagnosis?
  • I gave birth 5 years ago and got an epidural that worked well. What are the chances that the next epidural I get will work just as well?
  • Can consuming my placenta help with hormonal regulation postpartum?
  • I had a retained placenta with my first birth. Is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening with future pregnancies?
