high risk

I met Rebecca and Stefani at a breast cancer event in October.  We did an interview together at a Francine’s Friends event and immediately hit it off!  I asked them to be guests on DJ Breast Cancer and they said yes!!!!!!  As big fans of podcasts, they were super excited and considered it a ”bucket list“ item.  

Rebecca is a Genetics Counselor at Parkview Hospital.  She is also an amazing singer and actively involved in theatre in Fort Wayne.  Please take a listen to this podcast all the way to the end and take in her beautiful voice!

Stefani is a Nurse Practitioner with a focus on high risk.  Stefani often sees patients after Rebecca has given a genetics consultation to talk patients through screening options and being proactive.  At the time of the recording Stefani was in her third trimester, patiently waiting for her beautiful daughter. 

Let's talk about the Frida Mom ad depicting the real truth of a newly postpartum mom, which was banned from airing during the Oscars. Then, what's a mother to do when the pediatrician is suggesting weaning before mother or baby feels ready? Other questions we cover in this episode relate to feeling in control during labor even when you're high-risk; the ideal interval between babies; why some breast milk smells after it's been frozen or sitting out; and the truth about vomiting and/or eating in labor.

Tune in today to hear our thoughts and opinions on all of these great questions! And join the continued conversation on our IG page @downtobirthshow, and call us any time at 802-GET-DOWN!
