🎤 Midwife Abby Vidikan on the Anja Health Podcast 💙 Midwives, doulas, and OB-GYNs are all important figures in maternal healthcare, but they have distinct roles and areas of expertise. OB-GYNs (Obstetrician-Gynecologists) are medical doctors specializing in pregnancy, childbirth, and women's reproductive health. Midwives, on the other hand, are trained healthcare professionals who provide personalized, holistic care during pregnancy, labor, and childbirth. Doulas are non-medical professionals who provide emotional, physical, and informational support to pregnant individuals and their partners during labor and childbirth. #obgyn #doula #midwife #pregnancy
🎤 Midwife Abby Vidikan on the Anja Health Podcast 💙 Giving birth without medication can be a profoundly intense and unique experience, as the sensations and pain during labor vary from person to person. Many describe it as extremely painful, characterized by powerful contractions that come in waves, with each one increasing in intensity. Women who choose unmedicated childbirth often use techniques like deep breathing, visualization, movement, and support from a birthing partner or doula to manage the pain. #birth #pregnant #pregnancy #unmedicatedbirth
🎤 Labor and delivery nurse Michelle Curtis on the Anja Health Podcast 💙 A delivery nurse plays a crucial role in preparing pregnant parents for childbirth by offering education, emotional support, and medical guidance. They help demystify the labor process, explaining what to expect during different stages of labor and offering comfort measures. #birth #pregnant #pregnancy #laboranddelivery #nurselife

🎤 Midwife Abby Vidikan on the Anja Health Podcast 💙 Prepping food and meals for after birth can offer numerous benefits for new parents. Firstly, it ensures convenient access to nourishing and balanced meals during a time when cooking might be challenging due to the demands of caring for a newborn. It saves time and energy, allowing parents to focus on their recovery and bonding with the baby. Additionally, prepped meals can help maintain a healthy diet, which is crucial for postpartum recovery and breastfeeding. #afterbirth #foodprep #easymeals #doula #bestgift

Cord blood banking can serve as a source of compatible stem cells for family members in need, reducing the challenges associated with finding a suitable donor. The potential benefits of having this medical resource readily available make it a valuable consideration for some families, especially those with a history of hereditary diseases. #cordbloodbanking #anjahealth #cordtissuebanking #placentabanking

🎤 Lactation Consultant and Doula Candice Echeverria on the Anja Health Podcast 💙 The odds of getting pregnant while breastfeeding, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the "lactational amenorrhea method" or LAM, can vary depending on several factors. The effectiveness of LAM depends on factors like the frequency and exclusivity of breastfeeding, the baby's age, and the mother's individual hormonal response. #breastfeeding #lactating #pregnancy #pregnant

Investing in cord blood banking can hold significant importance for families. Cord blood, rich in stem cells, is a valuable resource that can potentially be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including blood disorders, immune system deficiencies, and certain cancers. By banking cord blood, parents are securing a unique biological insurance policy for their child's future health. #anjahealth #cordbloodbanking #cordtissuebanking #placentabanking

Cord blood banking represents a forward-thinking investment in the health and well-being of both the child and potentially other family members. It provides a readily available source of compatible stem cells, reducing the risk of graft-versus-host disease and improving the chances of successful transplants. #cordbloodbanking #anjahealth #cordtissuebanking #placentabanking
🎤 Lactation Consultant and Doula Candice Echeverria on the Anja Health Podcast 💙 The amount of milk a baby receives in 10 minutes of breastfeeding can vary depending on several factors, including the baby's age, breastfeeding efficiency, and the mother's milk supply. In the early days after birth, newborns often have small stomachs and may need to nurse frequently for shorter durations, typically 10-20 minutes per breast. For older infants, especially if they have become more proficient at nursing, they might get a substantial amount of milk in a 10-minute feeding session. #lactationconsultant #doula #breastfeeding #breastmilk
