Healthy As A Mother

#107: Raising a Big Family: Logistics, Judgment & Joy with Arianna Alloway


Listen Later

Today on the podcast, Arianna Alloway talks about having a big family and the various dynamics around structuring their life to make it all work. Arianna is "Oh that hippie mom is lots of kids" on Instagram, and she's been a favorite motherhood account for Dr. Morgan for many years. She just had her NINTH child, and so she offers us wisdom from her lived experience on many topics today, like listening for a feeling your babies before they come in (also known as spirit babies), how she and her husband decided to add more each time, their vasectomy reversal story, postpartum mental health factors, how to deal with the judgement of family/friends and strangers about having many children, the logistics of bedrooms/cars/chores etc, and some advice around sibling dynamics.
