July 22, 2026 · 56 min

Show notes

Pregnant, pregnancy-curious, or just pregnancy-adjacent via your coworker's baby shower invite? This week the docs tackle listener questions on why your cravings feel like a hostage situation, and whether birth plans are legit or just a wish list to the tooth fairy. They also get into vocal toning, cord clamping, navigating pregnancy in the workplace and the real tea: whether the docs themselves are ready to trade scrubs for stretch marks


Disclaimer: In this episode when Rachel talks about sushi she is referring to ParentData’s research on sushi in the United States from reputable establishments. Not gas station sushi or sushi that has been left out! These should 100% be avoided. As always, ask your doctor whether they think it is safe for you to eat sushi. We are not OBGYNs nor your doctor
