In this enlightening episode of Ask the Doulas podcast, we explore postpartum traditions through an Ayurvedic lens with Christine Eck, Founder and Director of the Center for Sacred Window Studies. Christine shares why the sacred window—the first 42 days after birth—is such a vital time for healing, bonding, and transformation. We discuss how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom aligns beautifully with modern postpartum care, and how simple practices around nourishment, rest, and support can create lasting wellness for both parents and babies. Whether you’re a new parent or a birth professional, you’ll leave inspired to honor this sacred period with more intention and care.

Ever wonder how early you can really find out your baby’s gender — and which tests you can trust? In this episode of Ask the Doulas, we talk with Dr. Dallas Reed, an OBGYN and Chief of Genetics for Tufts Medicine, who also serves as a medical advisor for SneakPeek, the at-home fetal sex test that’s accurate as early as six weeks of pregnancy.

Dr. Reed helps demystify the science behind early gender prediction and prenatal genetics, breaking down what’s hype and what’s helpful. We cover carrier screening, NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing), and how to make informed decisions about your pregnancy care with confidence.

Whether you’re newly pregnant or planning ahead, this conversation will help you feel empowered, informed, and ready to navigate prenatal testing with clarity.
