Laura Pruett has finally decided she wants to have kids, but the idea of going from "Laura" to "mom" is a bit head-spinning. So, Laura asks many different women many questions about their experiences in motherhood.
Andrea mentioned that she works as a Music Therapist with preschoolers with autism, and also volunteers with the Arizona Music Therapy Association (or AZMTA, you can learn more at azmta.org (https://azmta.org/)). She is from the city in Wisconsin (Milwaukee), and her husband is from the country in Colorado, and now they live in Arizona. She talked about how those different backgrounds influence her parenting. Andrea shared she grew up as an only child, and how that affects the parenting of her two kids. She talked about finding ways to recognize and lesson anxiety and pressure as a parent, which was very helpful for me!

Laura Asks Frances About Motherhood
Frances talked about how intense the postpartum period was, and even more so after her second child was born. She mentioned there are resources now to help families transition with a new child, such as 4th Trimester AZ (https://4thtrimesteraz.org/). She talked about her breastfeeding journey, including pumping at work. She shared she and her husband have a more attachment or gentle parenting approach. She talked about her episcopal faith as well as spiritual exploration. Frances shared that she sometimes found herself going counter culture to follow her gut in parenting. She shared about having postpartum rage and weaning depression, but not knowing what they were till after the fact. I mention the book Post Pardon Me, by Suzanne Yatim Aslam, you can find more information at www.suzanneyatimaslam.com (http://www.suzanneyatimaslam.com/). Frances also teaches Bradley Childbirth Education classes, you can learn more at www.bradleybirth.com/franceslandreth (http://www.bradleybirth.com/franceslandreth).

My good friend, Gina, interviews me about my pregnancy again! I talk about how I'm feeling in my 3rd trimester, my hopes and plans for the labor and birth, and a bunch of other stuff. I mention the parenting podcasts I am currently listening to, which are the Badass Breastfeeding Podcast (https://badassbreastfeedingpodcast.com/), specifically the episode from July 18, 2022 called "How Policy Changes Affect Breastfeeding and Parenting" (https://badassbreastfeedingpodcast.com/episode/how-policy-changes-affect-breastfeeding-and-parenting/), Evidenced Based Birth (https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-based-birth-podcast/), Evolutionary Parenting Podcast (https://evolutionaryparenting.com/evolutionary-parenting-podcast-2/) and Birthright (https://birthrightpodcast.com/).
Also, I shout out Blossom Birth Center (https://www.blossombirthcenter.com/) for their awesome prenatal care. I highly recommend them if you are in the Phoenix area.
