Bridget - I agree , I feel like I knew alot about pregnancy & birth but my health care team acted as if I didn't know - pressuring me to do things that I didn't want or keep you out of the loop and don't explain what they are doing. Holly - I agree 100%- women need birth & post partum support right away & we shouldn't wait till it's too late

I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast and watched GND as a teenager. One of the best things about this podcast is hearing Holly’s natural laugh.

Hey! So to explain ophthalmology. So usually when a woman is pregnant she can have a myopic shift. Meaning she can become more near sighted. Which is why we don’t do LASIK on pregnant women because their prescription will change during pregnancy. Your friend had the opposite. When she was pregnant instead of becoming more near sighted she shifted the other direction. So her nearsightedness improved! That’s very uncommon but not rare. Also, Bridgett I think it’s amazing you stood up for yourself and the girls! That took bravery 💪🏻

[@alisonleigh100]

Holly yes you are so right that a therapist should be established beforehand. Anyone who is in a depression does not want to get out of bed much less go through the efforts of finding a therapist.

[@LaRussaLand]

Bridget is totally right. As a nanny and a doula, I don't even want kids anymore because I know how much women go through when having babies and then becoming mothers. A lot of is great too. But many women tell me they were oblivious about so many parts of having babies and becoming a parent. And they admit that they would probably not have chosen to be a parent, if they had known from the beginning. It's not right that we don't know how bad postpartum can become or how absolutely traumatizing many births are.

With the lack of bugs at the mansion do you think it could have had something to do with the birds that were given free reign on the property? They are one of their biggest natural enemies.

[@CaitlinWiley-q6x]

Thank you ladies for discussing pregnancy and postpartum!! I 100% agree with what Bridget said about discussing the "ugly" side of birth and women's health! I just had my first baby last year and the doctor barely gave me any information! Most of the aspects of pregnancy and birth I just knew or had heard in health class/picked up over the years. I felt like my doctors were completely useless and would just refer me to the packets and information they give you when you first become pregnant. No one wants to actually TALK about it. We definitely need to do a better job with women's health (especially reproductive) in the US!

47:35 I have an auto immune condition similar to Lyme disease that gives me chronic nerve pain and it COMPLETELY goes away when im pregnant. there are studies that suggest that while pregnant the baby can send stem cells to certain afflicted parts of the mothers body and the healing can be long term depending on what was wrong with her to begin with. so I totally believe that woman's eyesight was improved by pregnancy! I think as important as it is to inform women of the "scary" things that can come with pregnancy and postpartum, its equally as important to educate that its not always this terrible, life ruining experience either lol.

[@justinetorres670]

Bridget, you are so spot on about women not being informed about our healthcare. I recently had a miscarriage and decided to test myself to see how long it took for my body to stop testing positive on pregnancy tests. It took two months and even my friends who have had miscarriages had no idea that was a thing. The only reason I even thought to test myself was because of a Norwegian lesbian couple I follow

Kevin didn't do his wasp research. They live for weeks.

[@renataguimaraes2418]

Yeah, I looked it up and it said the average lifespan was 12-22 days

[@Hey.its.Lala95]

Adult worker wasps can live between 12 - 22 days while the queen will survive for the entire year until the cold causes the colony to die off. If you are accounting the time that it takes for a wasp egg to develop into an adult, it can take between 40 - 60 days depending on external environmental factors.

On the topic of the playmate house, my INSTANT thought was: “wow there must be some serious residual energy in that house for them to feel like that” like Bridget said it may not necessarily be “haunted” but residual energy can collect from all different types of inner emotions, feelings, depression, almost like the house itself is an energy vampire and form into its own thing😬 but that’s coming from someone also into the paranormal👻 I’d love to find out more of the the history of the house!

You bring up such a good point! When I had my first child, I was really young. Nobody told me that when your water breaks it feels like you pee yourself.

It might be too late to have biological children for Bridget, but she's still could be a mother if she wanted. There are plenty of children out there that really do need a good home and loving parents. She could even provide a foster home for teenagers or kids that are a little bit older

[@arielsclamshellbra]

Adoption isn't a substitute for wanting your own child and pushing people who can't have their own kids into adopting only sets the parents and the child up to resent one another. It's a huge topic in adoption forums etc where adoptees have trauma from growing up in a home that they were only brought into because the parents couldn't have their own child and don't want to deal with the trauma that comes from kids being adopted. It's OK to want your own children and not want to deal with things you may not have the tools or desire to deal with after adopting a child who may have many issues. Stop suggesting adoption for infertile women, it doesn't do any good, they know they can adopt without you telling them, if they don't then that's just fine.

[@janicetehie3839]

She does not have to adopt. She could also volunteer in schools or organizations that focus on children, being a mentor or reading to them or something. You do not need to be a parent yourself to make a difference.

[@amycoffin1910]

I was allowed to hold all 3 of my babies immediately post partum for hours - including while delivering the placenta and being stitched. That made it so much easier for me... I just focused on my baby and barely noticed anything else going on. I'm sorry that didn't happen for you ☹️

[@CrystalElkin01]

Not talking about the details of giving birth is not a taboo issue or women not informing each other. I truly think it is more about the physical & mental extremes we experience during birth causes us to almost block it out or forget. If women have c section or epidural, we get catheter & we don't exactly feel what's happening. So it's possible not to know you are pushing out after birth during an epidural. C sections don't require you to push it out either.

[@stephaniels5421]

I just heard about Kemper a few years ago. Like you, I don't know how it took me so long to hear about him because I've always been a true crime nut. When I first heard of the details of Kemper's crimes, I thought well, maybe it's time to find a new interest, lol. To me, he's like on a different level than most. He is very interesting, though, because he's so open, and I think he's being honest because he tells it whether it's flattering or not.

So for me, there's 2 major things I didn't know, when going into labor & giving birth is 1) your water doesn't always just break on its own, when your body is getting ready to give birth & 2) that the epidural ONLY works & relieves the pain while having contractions , but does NOTHING for the pain while pushing!!! I was pushing for 3 1/2 hours & only 30 mins after getting my epidural at 4 cm, my water broke & I was 10 cm, and had to start pushing!!! So I felt EVERYTHING!! Also, after I gave birth I was able to walk & wasn't numb so I don't think the epidural even worked on me regardless!!! Oh & 1 more thing I didn't know was, that u bleed ALOT & for a month or 2 after giving birth!!! So crazy that us first time moms, try to plan & be prepared for anything & everything, yet you literally find out very important things that happen, as it's actually happening!!!
