  • What happens to the Body & Brain after Birth?

    We've heard about Postpartum Depression but whats the difference between PPD and Postpartum Psychosis? Why do new moms wake up in the middle of the night and frantically dig through their bed looking for their baby who is safely sleeping in a bassinet beside them? Why do breasts lactate from the mere sound of a baby crying? Should you eat your placenta? Are there lasting health risks/benefits from giving birth? And finally, whats the word regarding cord blood? In this episode, Mike PhD, Kevin PhD and Samantha discuss what happens to a woman's body and mind after giving birth.

  • What to expect when it’s almost time for labor!
    Samantha breaks down how she and her husband prepped themselves and their home for baby. Printing out charts for warming bottles, milk storage, emergency numbers and pet care instructions was all vital. Then it’s stocking up on OTC meds, dealing with well-meaning but completely unsolicited advice and why it’s important to invest in the proper safety equipment for car, stroller and crib. Plus: Navigating insurance and what happens when your water breaks…or doesn’t!

  • The Science of Genetic Dominance
    Mike PhD and Kevin PhD are back to discuss genetic dominance in the womb and why some predispositions can be predicted and/or verified while others cannot.   As science continues to progress, will the accuracy of quantifiable predictions sharpen?
    Samantha and her husband are expecting their first child this summer and it wasn't even halfway through their first trimester when they realized the experience of becoming a parent is nothing like they imagined.  Endless screenings, tests, judgmental opinions from doctors, nurses and friends and essentially no resource for support.  Fed up with being guilt tripped and scared, Samantha turned to the Scientists at WYSP to discuss what was actually going on with her body and her baby and quickly realized that the word "fault" should be struck from the vocabulary of any expectant parent.

  • Parenting: We’re not the only ones!
    The response to our last episode has been overwhelming...In a good way and in a not so good way. It seems we aren’t the only ones who find Mommy Shaming and Parenting rife with negativity and a “holier than thou” tone. So what do we do when we’re not sure if it’s a rash or an allergic reaction? Should we crumble if the number one recommended bottle causes gas? And how should we share pregnancy news with a mixed bag of friends and family? Samantha has some ideas of how to get answers, be fair and not totally lose your mind and hopefully they’ll help you as well. Follow @imnachogirlfriend and @_wheniknew_ on Instagram and join us at www.wysp.us for more information.
