Welcome to the December Q&A episode with Cynthia and Trisha! Today, we begin with revealing your holiday traditions and difficult family challenges of the season. Additionally, we share our long-standing holiday traditions. Next, we dive into your questions beginning with:

  • What are the signs of postpartum hemorrhage?
  • Is failure to progress dangerous and what can you do to prevent it?
  • Is it safe to use breastmilk to treat pink eye in a baby?
  • Considering the danger of RSV, should I ask family members not to kiss the baby and if so, what should I say?


In the extended version of today's episode, we discuss whether or not vaginal birth is possible when a woman has osteoporosis; whether or not a mother who has a history of precipitous birth should plan to be induced to avoid giving birth en route to the hospital; and is intentionally rupturing the bag of water a good idea to prevent having a precipitous birth at home?

As always, we close with a round of quickies on topics such as weight gain in pregnancy, cervical lips, prenatal vitamins, must-have baby items, and more!

Thank you as always for your fabulous questions and keep them coming by calling into our hotline at 802-438-3696.
