When it comes to baby registries, there’s so much to talk about that we had to break it into two episodes. What do actually need the day you bring your baby home from the hospital? What’s worth it and what’s a scam? Is the $110 peanut changer life-changing or a joke? Avent, Dr. Brown’s, Comotomo: what are the best baby bottles? What about diapers? Pampers, Huggies, Honest, Hello Bello? What infant car seats are the best? What about strollers? Is UppaBaby the way to go or what? Should you buy everything Fridababy makes just because of the cute packaging? Will you need special undies after birth? Every Q you had about baby registries and purchases, we're diving into.

We begin this episode with a discussion about breast milk & the grown ass men who drink it. Also, the wonderful perks of donor milk! Sue & Anna also discuss their trials and tribulations with breastfeeding and eventual love of formula. We also discuss postpartum depression, anxiety, and ways we prepared ourselves for that possibility. Support systems are the most important thing for a new mom! Finally, we begin our deep dive into the world of baby registries! And there are many, many products to geek out about. If you have one takeaway from this episode, it’s that Pampers lock in the poop!

This week, we check in on TikTok mom culture. We're obsessed with a few Mormon mom influencers, obviously, and also the one girl who had to WALK to the hospital after her water broke. I can't...

Then, pregnancy pillows. Are they necessary? What are the best shapes? And, why do you have to wait so long for that gestational diabetes test after you drink the Gatorade? Rude!

Also, what shots do you need before baby comes? Do people around you need to be vaxxed, too? Then, we touch down on behavioral issues, too. How do you keep calm and carry on in the moment?

BTW, should Danielle name her baby "Woods DeVito"? Weigh in at [email protected]

What happens at that anxiety-inducing anatomy scan around 20 weeks? And why can't they just spill the tea while you're right there in the room? Also, did you have to have an amnio? Anna shares the nail-biting story of her amniocentesis.

Also, Grimes and Elon Musk have consciously uncoupled, and, ya know what? GOOD FOR HER!

We're diving right into it and come out the other end to serve up a big helping of Birth Control, babies. Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe wherever you're listening. Email us at [email protected]

2nd trimester is here! You finally get to tell people you’re pregnant! What’s the best way to tell everyone? Social media or people magazine? How do you tell your boss/co-workers?

How do we post photos of our kids on our social media without feeling creepy?

2nd trimester also means the belly is popping and everyone wants to get a touch! We usually hate it when people comment on our bodies UNLESS it’s when that belly pops and people finally know you’re pregnant!

We also discuss maternity leave in NY, CA, and Canada—and boy are they different.

We're starting off with some baby updates (Wyatt is standing! Dean is scared to poop!) and then delve right back into first trimester scaries—why do you have to pee all the time? Are kegels worth it? Is Sue Gwynneth Paltrow? Favorite books: “Expecting Better” we love data! “Bringing Up Bebe” can we raise chill French babies when we’re not in France? Is it wishful thinking? Other books to prepare for baby to be born: “Happiest Baby On The Block” the 5 S’s are the best! “Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems” Ferber method gentle cry it out. “Moms on Call” written by pediatric nurses who are also moms! And we can't forget, "Oh Crap!" for potty training.

And finally—regret? Huge changes when finding out you’re pregnant even when it’s planned. How do you handle? When did you feel connected to the baby?
