Q&A: The Evidence on Choline and How to Prepare for Precipitous Labor


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore two questions. First, we break down the role of choline in pregnancy, including its benefits for fetal brain development. We review the current evidence and provide practical tips on how to ensure you’re getting enough choline from your diet or supplements. Next, we dive into precipitous labor, when labor progresses rapidly—and discuss what you can do to prepare for a fast labor. Thank you to our sponsor 20% off Mommy Steps or Form insoles with the promo code FEET. Studies show pregnancy can make your feet grow. In one study, 61% of participants had a measurable increase in foot length, and 22% reported going up a shoe size. The thought of going up a shoe size and having to replace every pair of shoes you own might freak you out. The good news is that wearing insoles can protect your feet from going up in size.
