  • How to Prevent and Treat UTIs During Pregnancy
    2025/02/23
    Pregnancy brings many changes to your body, including hormone changes and how your urinary system functions. These changes can increase the risk of developing a urinary tract infection, the most common bacterial infection during pregnancy. A UTI can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications if left untreated. The good news is that they are highly treatable. In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about UTIs during pregnancy, from symptoms and testing to prevention and treatment options. We also explore the evidence behind popular home remedies like cranberry juice and probiotics. Whether you’ve had a UTI before or want to be informed, this episode will help you feel confident in recognizing and addressing this common pregnancy concern.

  • Is Cord Blood Banking Worth It?
    2025/02/16
    Cord blood banking is a complex and often confusing topic. Advertisements for cord blood banking are everywhere when you are pregnant. Is it really biological insurance that can protect your family or an unnecessary expense? Take a step away from the marketing claims and explore the evidence on cord blood banking so you can make an informed decision for your baby. Learn how cord blood stem cells are used, what conditions they can treat, and the differences between public and private cord blood banks. Hear about the research on the pros and cons of banking your baby’s cord blood, especially how it fits with delayed cord clamping.
