In this episode, we’re talking all about labor scares, false alarms, and the moments we were convinced it was finally time to have a baby… only to find out it wasn’t quite happening yet. We share our own experiences with false labor, early labor, trips to the hospital, and the different signs that made us think things were getting started. Most importantly, we talk about how different labor can look for every woman, and even from one pregnancy to the next. Sometimes the signs are obvious, sometimes they’re confusing, and sometimes you really just don’t know until you get checked. We’re sharing what happened to us, what we learned along the way, and hopefully giving you a little reassurance that there really is no one “right” way for labor to begin.

After our conversation with Dr. Roseann, we had so many takeaways we couldn’t stop thinking about. In this episode, we’re recapping what we learned about kids’ nervous systems, what’s really happening during tantrums and big emotions, and how regulation can completely change the way we respond as parents. We’re also sharing what we’ve actually started implementing at home, what’s been working for our kids, the differences we’re already noticing, and the areas we’re still trying to improve. This is a real-life follow-up on how small shifts in the way we handle emotions, behavior, and connection can make a big difference for both our kids and us.

Labor can be scary, unpredictable, empowering… and honestly, one of our favorite parts of bringing a baby into the world. Between the two of us, we’ve experienced both C-sections and vaginal births, so we’re talking about all things labor, our favorite parts, our least favorite parts, what surprised us, and the nitty-gritty details no one really talks about until you’ve been through it. We know every birth experience is different and that labor can be incredibly difficult or traumatic for some women. But our experiences have thankfully been overwhelmingly positive, and this episode is meant to be an encouraging, honest conversation for moms heading into birth. Whether you’re pregnant and wondering what labor is actually like or you’ve already had your babies and just love talking birth stories, consider this your girlfriends’ guide to everything that really happens in the delivery room.

Three stories stopped us mid-scroll this week—and as moms, we had a lot to say. We’re breaking down the latest conversation around Trump’s vaccine recommendations and what it could mean for parents, kids, and families in California; Alex Cooper’s unexpected motherhood era, from buying out baby registries to her gestational diabetes diagnosis and the internet’s reaction to seeing her evolve; and the deeply difficult Lindsay Clancy trial, including what the case has brought to light about postpartum mental health and postpartum psychosis. This is definitely a heavier episode, but these are the motherhood headlines that made us stop, take a second look, and keep thinking long after we put our phones down.
