Are you fascinated by all the pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood stuff few people talk about because they’re too embarrassed? If so, welcome to the motherload of all things taboo, wild and super interesting.
The Asking for a Pregnant Friend podcast is based on the book of the same name and dives into all the pregnancy, birth and mothering topics that make many people blush, or scratch their heads.
My hope is that every time you listen you’re relieved to find information about one of the questions you didn’t think other women had, feel more connected to the worldwide community of soon-to-be mothers and new moms, and find peace as you become informed about the aspects of your journey most shy away from.
This is like the modern day Dear Abbey for pregnant women and new moms who want to get straight, yet loving, answers to the pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood questions they’re too afraid to ask.
Many of the episodes are intentionally short so you can listen to the full shebang on the way to a prenatal appointment, or coming home from dropping the kids off at school.

Pretty much all of us have heard about postpartum depression, but something that many women aren't as familiar with is perinatal depression. This episode sheds light on this condition, which develops during pregnancy due to hormonal shifts, life changes, and genetic factors. Learn about the subtle symptoms that can be easily mistaken for typical pregnancy experiences, and understand when it is crucial to seek professional help. We discuss the importance of talking to your care provider if you feel persistently sad, overwhelmed, or if these feelings impact your quality of life.
If your doctor suspects perinatal depression, they may refer you to a mental health specialist and potentially recommend safe medications. Remember, support and relief are available, and you don't have to suffer in silence. Tune in to gain insights and practical advice on navigating perinatal depression.
