Today we're diving into a topic that's close to the hearts (and stomachs!) of many expecting moms - nausea and vomiting!
I do want to give a little trigger warning that if your nausea is triggered by the discussion of this topic, you may want to skip this episode. I know how sensitive some can be with this stuff!!
I'll start out by exploring some dietary tips to tackle pregnancy nausea head-on. Then, I'll shift the focus to vomiting during labor. It's definitely not everyone's favorite topic, but it's a reality for many moms-to-be!

A question I get asked during almost every shift at the hospital is for a list of pharmaceutical pain medications other than epidurals.
And while epidurals are kind of the gold standard when it comes to contraction pain - there actually are some other choices!
So, today on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast I'm going to dive into pain meds other than epidurals, with a special focus on IV narcotics and nitrous oxide for labor.
I'll be touching on some non-medical pain management options and ideas too.

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we're talking all about group B strep and how it might affect your birth.
Here we're going to learn the details about this infection, how GBS disease can impact your baby, and how your provider will screen for GBS. Lastly, we'll take a look at what it means for birth if you're GBS positive.
If you do have group B strep, your birth will be a little bit different, because antibiotic treatment is highly recommended. But luckily, it's not as big of a deal as it sounds.

This week on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we are talking about perinatal mental health – a topic that is near and dear to my heart. My guest, Dr. Nichelle Haynes is a Clinical Psychiatrist who specializes in perinatal mental health.
There's not a lot of psychiatrists who specialize in the pregnant and postpartum population. So Dr. Haynes and I talk about a day in her life, what sort of patients she sees, and what's the first step if you're struggling.
We also talk about the difference between a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a therapist because there's a big difference. We also discuss medication, when to intervene with medication, and what signs and symptoms you should be looking for.
And finally, you'll hear us debunk the unfortunate societal stigma surrounding psychiatric medications.
