I had a ton of anxiety about THE BIRTH. And then a fair amount of feelings about being a parent - would I be good enough? I appreciated talking with Leah Chalofsky about the New Parents Circle and Cesarean Birth Support Group, anxiety (as it relates to pregnancy and parenting), domestic violence, and teen pregnancy/parenting. The recorded conversation (Episode 66 of Fourth Trimester Podcast) includes all these topics:

• Hormones and their influence
• Emotions prior to birth 
• Anxiety, Depression and "feeling bad about feeling bad" 
• First two years of child's life - transitions physical and mental 
• Benefiting from being around other parents
• Ruling out physical issues - how physical and emotional are intertwined
