E12: MythBusters: IVF to Ordering Espresso
Fellow dietitian, public health professional, and Loma Linda alum, Stephanie Roberts joins Maya on today's episode to help bust five top myths you may have heard surrounding pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
Myth #1: IVF is your only option
Myth #2: Your second pregnancy will be harder
Myth #3: You need to stop drinking coffee
Myth #4: Your birth plan will go according to "plan"
Myth #5: You need to prep your toddler for baby #2
Remember, your pregnancy is unique. People will make comments and share their concerns, both positively and negatively. Get the facts, seek out a second opinion, and protect your energy. Sometimes this means simply saying "no" or unfollowing!
