Show Notes

I had a ton of anxiety about THE BIRTH. And then a fair amount of feelings about being a parent - would I be good enough? I appreciated talking with Leah Chalofsky about the New Parents Circle and Cesarean Birth Support Group, anxiety (as it relates to pregnancy and parenting), domestic violence, and teen pregnancy/parenting. The recorded conversation (Episode 66 of Fourth Trimester Podcast) includes all these topics:

  • Hormones and their influence
  • Emotions prior to birth 
  • Anxiety, Depression and "feeling bad about feeling bad" 
  • First two years of child's life - transitions physical and mental 
  • Benefiting from being around other parents
  • Ruling out physical issues - how physical and emotional are intertwined
