EP136- How to Plan for the Five Essential Changes Postpartum
Wednesday Oct 05, 2022
Wednesday Oct 05, 2022
As the founder of Postpartum Together, today Chelsea Skaggs will share several takeaways that we can learn from her experiences with pregnancy, relationships during and after baby, the reality of postpartum, and the different postpartum preparations that women need. If she looks back at all the choices she made and spent time and effort on, present Chelsea would tell her past-pregnant-self to “trust yourself more.” The time she spent on Google and YouTube looking for answers, she believes, was better off spent listening to her intuition more as a woman and a mother –a tip she leaves for all the mothers-to-be out there.
Learn how to prepare for the 5 Essential Changes that occur postpartum in this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

EP135- Glucose Testing, Gestational Diabetes & Blood Sugar, OH MY! with Katie Dewhurst
Wednesday Sep 28, 2022
Wednesday Sep 28, 2022
Rarely do we think about managing our blood sugar unless our doctor tells us there is a problem. However, when we are pregnant, we have to get the glucose test to check for gestational diabetes and all of a sudden stress and anxiety sets in.
What if we don't pass the test, what does it mean? How can we make changes now? What should we do on the day of our glucose test?
Today’s guest, Katie Dewhurst struggled herself with her health and nutrition and ended up discovering that by balancing her blood sugar, she felt better than ever. She is now a Functional Medicine, Health Coach Nutritionist, and the Founder of Hello Balance, a digital resource and a cookbook. With her guidance today, we will feel more calm going into our pregnancy and taking that glucose test, knowing that we've already taken the steps to regulate our blood sugar.

When you’re laying in bed postpartum with your newborn on your chest, maybe practicing skin to skin, you never expect that little infant to wiggle off you and fall. This traumatic moment became a reality for one of today's guests, Hayley Mullins, two weeks postpartum.
This week is Newborn Falls Awareness Week and it’s important for us to realize that newborn falls are much more common than we hear about. Hayley was so empowered to make a change, after having trouble finding a product that would work, that she created a prototype in 3 weeks, which is now called the Joeyband for clinical use and the RooLoop for retail. Hayley and her co-founder, Sarah-Almaza Cox are on the show today to share what can we do to protect our baby from falling postpartum? What is skin to skin? What are the benefits? …and so much more!
Hayley & Sarah, along with their third co-founder Ashley, have collaborated with the company, Joovy, a global leader in premium products for babies and young children, that is passionate about solving problems and supporting families in order to bring this product into hospitals, as well as into your hands.
Learn how to prevent newborn falls in this episode of the Mamas in Training Podcast.

By hearing Jessica’s story, we will find comfort knowing that we can experience loss and grief at the same time of great joy and discover solid ground again.

Wednesday Aug 24, 2022

When we first bring our baby home, we can feel overwhelmed by all the areas to juggle with questions like… How do we manage overnight feedings, lack of sleep, cleaning bottles & diapers, laundry, breast or bottle feeding and so much more!
However, there is a solution… a Postpartum Doula.
After going through postpartum with twins and a toddler at home, Valerie Trumbower fully understood the overwhelm that can come with the start of motherhood. Now, as a postpartum doula, it is her passion to educate, support and empower parents when they first bring their baby home. She has worked with hundreds of families to set up systems and routines that make the postpartum journey much smoother.
