Ep. 338: Q+A with HeHe from IG DM's

In this solo episode, HeHe dives into the questions flooding her DMs—covering some of the most common (and confusing) topics in pregnancy and birth! We’re unpacking 39-week inductions, what to do when you’re told your baby is “too big,” navigating a GBS+ diagnosis, using upright positions during labor, the truth about hydrotherapy, and what your options really are when your water breaks at term. This episode is packed with evidence-based insight and empowering guidance to help you feel informed, confident, and in control of your birth choices.
