New York Times critic at large Amanda Hess joins us to talk about the convergence of parenthood and technology. We dig in to everything from freebirthers to prenatal testing, and from “complicated” pregnancies to the many anxieties (and joys, too) of raising a child in a world where a $1600 Snoo has become a newborn must-have and corporations know about our pregnancies before our immediate families do. Hess’s much anticipated memoir, Second Life: Having A Child In The Digital Age (which we both LOVED), is out May 6th.

* Prenatal Testing Offers Pregnant Women More Information Than Ever — But No Support To Deal With It (Romper)
* Unfit Parent by Jessica Slice
* Girl on Girl by Sophie Gilbert
* Happiest Baby On The Block
