Emotional Health | So you know you want a baby, maybe you've even been trying. But now as you look at that second line on the pregnancy test your heart is seized with fear, and then shame.For women there is a lot of expectations surrounding the role of motherhood and then a woman feels any ambivalence or I'm not quite sure if this is what I really wanted, then guilt can come in and have her second guess herself. | 2 9 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Getting the Swine Flu Vaccine While Pregnant | Pregnant women are among the first in line to receive the Swine Flu vaccine, when it becomes available, because not only does the flu -- any kind of flu -- usually hit pregnant women harder than other people, but this strain appears to be particularly nasty for moms-to-be. Pregnant women are more likely to end up in the hospital with this flu. Pregnant women are more likely to face complications associated with this flu that can lead to death. | 30 8 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cord Blood Banking | Joseph's family was heartbroken, but then they learned he might be helped by a stem cell transplant using the cells from the cord blood of his expected sibling. The cord blood was collected, the stem cells were harvested and they turned out to be a match for the desperately sick toddler. Joseph's dad said doctors moved quickly to help the little boy. | 20 8 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Third Trimester | Toward the end of your pregnancy your hormones want to loosen things up so the baby can pass through the birth canal more easily so that things can sort of move aside is how I think of it. And so yes hip pain is common, all joint pain is common and another pain that many women perceive or feel is pubic pain because we think of the pubic bone as one bone all the way across well it isn't really, there is cartilage in between it at the front and so that often loosens up a little bit and many women experience discomfort there. | 19 7 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Second Trimester | Most people do feel a little bit better, they've sort of gotten past the morning sickness if they had that, they're not urinating quite as much, not getting up quite as much at night, people can see that you're pregnant, people love to see a pregnant woman and you just feel better. You can eat things that you normally would be able to eat, they're not going to upset your stomach, you're not really extremely heavy with baby yet, so you're still just as agile as you normally would be. So that's why many people refer to it as the honeymoon phase. | 12 7 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

First Trimester | Oh baby, you're having a baby! You're at the beginning of a 40-week journey in which the spark of life begins in you and becomes your baby. It is awe-inspiring and thrilling. If you planned this little one, as Alissia -- who is now 10 weeks pregnant -- did, you've probably already started making changes in your life to give your little one the best possible start. | 5 7 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

20 |
Breastfeeding | You wouldn't think it would be so difficult to decide how to feed your baby when there are just two options. But it is and everyone has an opinion. Let's find out about what a pediatrician has to say, "Well obviously breastfeeding is going to have some real significant advantages for moms, or for babies rather. We have to keep in mind that breast milk is a living, breathing product that contains hemogloblin and other things that help boost a baby's immune system and even boost their intelligence. | 12 3 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

21 |
All About Feeding | This week is one of the most important decisions that you'll make for your baby and one of the most stressful. What will you feed your little one when it arrives. We talk to a pediatrician, "Well parents basically can do one of two things after they have their baby, they can either breastfeed or they can bottle-feed." And we'll walk you through those options. We'll talk to moms who breastfed, "It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life." And bottle-fed, "My husband wasn't as on board with that and I'm like the day that you can breastfeed is the day that we'll breastfeed how does that sound?" | 3 3 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Financial Planning | This week we're getting your finances in order. From insurance, "You may need insurance for the very first time and we're talking about life insurance here." To your taxes, "When baby makes three you now have the new exemptions for the child and you may have the child tax credit." And estate planning, "If you're a single person you can certainly be fancy free about whether you want to have a will or not, but if you have a kid you've got more of a responsibility." Sounds overwhelming? Don't worry mommy, we've got three great money experts to talk your through it. | 23 2 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Baby Gear | It's time to start buying all the stuff you need for your baby and it's overwhelming isn't it? How do you get it all? How do you afford it? Baby gear can run you around $6,000, "It's amazing how expensive some of this stuff can be. I remember going into a boutique shop on Ventura Boulevard there where I lived in Los Angeles and they were charging just amazing prices for basic furniture. $800 for a bureau that was not very well constructed just because it had baby so it seemed like they could add an extra zero to the price of everything. | 19 2 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Baby Shower | This week we're planning your shower! There's plenty to do and the work starts four months before the baby comes. ''Figuring out what kind of shower you want to have. Picking a date and a location and figuring out who you're going to invite.'' We'll help you navigate the minefield of social expectations, ''A baby shower should not be held by a family member.'' And we'll tell you what you really aren't expected to do, ''So many people don't like games but for some reason we think that we're supposed to play them.'' And we'll get you started with a planning time-table straight ahead in this Pea in the Podcast: Planning Your Shower. | 4 2 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Single Moms | You're pregnant and by choice or by chance you're doing it without a partner, Dr. Leah, author of The Complete Single Mother says you may be overwhelmed and with good reason, ''Single motherhood is relentless. You are the person in charge, you are the person with all of the responsibilities, you're pretty much on 24/7.'' So how can you make this work? Dr. Leah says the first thing that you need to do is process any sadness that you may feel about not having a partner to share this experience with you. | 26 1 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Being A Stay-At-Home Mom | It's the 21st century and unlike some of our moms and many of our grandmothers most moms have careers they love or need. Despite that a large number of modern women are making the choice to make their careers motherhood, ''The was the report that said about 47% of all American women stay home for a year or more after they have a baby and that actually the majority of mothers of preschoolers are either staying at home or working part-time. That working full-time is not something the majority of mothers do with very young children.'' Surprised? I was. | 21 1 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Working While Pregnant | Well it's the best news you've ever gotten, you're having a baby but for your boss it may not be good news at all. How do you tell them? Judy Bowman is the President and Founder of Protocol Consultants International, ''Clearly it's a very personal issue and I would tell your manager in private, tell them privately and hopefully they'll way and your demur in which you convey the terrific, exciting, wonderful news which it is will be contagious and let your manager that you are more than willing to work with them on realistic time frames that will help them manage their work environment so that it works for the woman as well.'' | 14 1 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Health And Nutrition | This week it's all about what you eat, ''Good nutrition or a well balanced is essential for normal fetal growth and development.''

Quitting Your Bad Habits | This week you know you have to quit, ''I started smoking when I was probably about 15 or 16.''

Pregnancy Complications II | This week we'll continue our conversation on pregnancy complications.

As soon as they started fiddling around down there I went crazy.'' And what doctors can do about them. ''You give the patients oxygen, increase the IV fluids. You turn the patients on their side to reposition them.'' | 1 12 08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Perfect For Parents
As a young father-to-be this podcast was an excellent guide to understanding each and every step of pregnancy. It provides me and my family with knowledge and comfort each week. I can't thank you 2 ladies enough!
Essential and easy listening!
I've found these podcasts so helpful, as a first time Mum with very few people to ask about these things. They're friendly, easy to listen to and really do offer good professional advice and real-life Mums and pregnant ladies give reassurances for all these weird and wonderful things that are happening! I've found them invaluable, and my husband has found them helpful to.
Thank you Pea in the Podcast :)
