Average Moms bring on guests Kelly and Sam. Kelly has a 4 1/2 year old and a 1 1/2 year old and Sam is an expecting mother due December 28th! Sam had questions around pumping so the conversation focuses on pumping, pumping at work, pumping while traveling. Different kinds of pumps. This is part 1 of a 3 part series.

The girls let the F Bombs fly while Alicia details her 2nd labor which was much shorter than her first.  Switching practices multiple times, pushy doctors, scheduled c-sections, tearing, blue pushing, eating in labor, transitioning in the car on the highway, ideal labor environments. 

Also a discussion on 2nd time moms, how to know if you are in labor, laboring without an epidural, fast labors, what does pushing feel like.
