#102 | May Q&A: Full Moons & Labor; Impact of Fear on Labor Progress; Birth Centers vs. Hospitals; Low Amniotic Fluid; The Fourth Trimester; Breastfeeding with a Toddler; Placenta Encapsulation; Pushing; Pregnancy Tests

It's that time of the month! Our May Q&A is here and kicks off with two short, entertaining birth stories followed by excellent questions submitted by our listeners including: Are more babies born under the full moon? If I experience fear in labor will my cervix close or regress?  Do I need a cesarean birth if I have too much or too little amniotic fluid? What is the difference between a birth center and hospital birth? What are the best ways to take care of yourself physically and emotionally after having a baby? How do I handle breastfeeding in front of my toddler? What are the benefits of placental encapsulation? How do I stop peeing when I throw-up in pregnancy? What is the earliest you can get a positive pregnancy test? Is there any benefit to pushing before you are fully dilated? Check the chapter markers to jump to a specific question.  Thank you to all of you who submitted your questions, and please keep them coming! You can call us at 802-GET-DOWN to submit your own question.
