    5:42 My Postpartum Hormones Were Wrecked: What the Testing Found & What Finally Fixed It (Part 2)

    Part 2 is here and this is where it gets real. After a year of heavy periods, depleted iron, and being told everything was normal, Jessie finally has answers. She walks through the exact protocol her functional medicine doctor put her on, what it actually did, and what happened after one month. Spoiler: her first normal period in years. She also breaks down the new protocol based on her Gut Zoomer results - parasites, mold in her gut, leaky gut, low butyrate and why functional medicine keeps changing the plan (and why that's actually the point). Plus the non-toxic swaps she's made at home: laundry, cookware, water, skincare, sun protection, coffee makers; not sponsored, not affiliated, just what she actually uses and what her own testing confirmed is working. This one's for the mom who's been told she's fine and knows she's not. This episode covers: Functional medicine protocol for postpartum hormonesGut Zoomer testing & what it actually foundParasites, mold & leaky gut, what bloodwork missedThe supplements that finally moved the needleHer first normal period in years (and what it took to get there)Non-toxic swaps for laundry, cookware, water & skincareWhy "normal range" doesn't mean optimal for youThe Mira device & tracking your own hormone dataEndocrine disruptors, plastics & hormone healthWhat functional medicine actually looks like in practice 👶 New here?

    5:41 My Postpartum Hormones Were Wrecked: Parasites, Heavy Periods & Why My Doctors Kept Ignoring Me

    After having kids, Jessie started experiencing extreme postpartum hormone issues that nobody could explain. Heavy periods lasting weeks, exhaustion, brain fog, anemia, hormone imbalances, parasites, detoxing, functional medicine, and feeling completely dismissed by doctors. In this solo episode of Baby Then What, Jessie opens up about the postpartum health journey she’s been quietly dealing with behind the scenes, including the terrifying symptoms she ignored for too long, the parasite cleanse that changed everything, and why she stopped accepting “this is normal postpartum” as an answer. This episode covers: Postpartum hormone imbalance symptoms Heavy postpartum periods & anemia Parasite cleanse experience (yes… actual parasites) Functional medicine vs traditional doctors Brain fog, exhaustion & low iron Endocrine disruptors & toxins Plastic, BPA & hormone health Gut health & postpartum recovery Why moms feel dismissed medically The truth about postpartum health after kids If you’ve been feeling exhausted, off, hormonal, anxious, depleted, or like your body hasn’t felt the same since having kids, this episode will make you feel a lot less alone. 👶 New here?

    5.38 : OB vs Midwife: What Nobody Tells You Before You Choose Your Birth Provider

    Choosing between an OB and a midwife? Most moms are forced to decide without actually understanding the difference, and it can completely shape your pregnancy, labour, and delivery experience. No one sits you down and explains this. So in this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie become the people they wish they had before their first appointment. They’ve both had experiences with OBs and midwives and not the same every time and that’s exactly the point. Because this decision? 👉 It’s not about what your friend did 👉 It’s not about what your doctor defaulted to 👉 And it’s definitely not something you should choose based on “vibes” The real difference between an OB and a midwife (explained simply) Why you might not even meet the doctor delivering your baby What continuity of care actually looks like with a midwife The truth about interventions, epidurals, and hospital births Hospital vs birth centre vs home birth (what nobody explains properly) What happens if you need to transfer from midwife to OB The biggest misconceptions about both options How to decide what’s actually right for YOU We break down the exact questions you should be asking before choosing your provider, because this is where most people get it wrong. There’s no “right” choice. There’s just the choice that makes you feel safe, supported, and heard. Comment OB or MIDWIFE, which did you choose and why? 📌 And send this to a pregnant friend… because everyone deserves this conversation before that first appointment. 👶 New here?

    5.37 : 0 to 1 vs 1 to 2 Kids: The Hardest Transition No One Prepares You For (+ Deciding on Baby #3)

    No one talks about THIS part of motherhood… until you’re in it. In this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie get real about the biggest parenting transitions — from 0 to 1, 1 to 2, and preparing for baby #3 — and why the hardest stage might not be what you think. They break down the emotional, physical, and mental load of adding more kids, the shock that hits (especially dads 👀), and the part of motherhood that no one prepares you for. If you're pregnant, thinking about baby #2, or deep in the chaos of multiple kids… this is the episode you need. In this episode, we talk about: Is 0 to 1 or 1 to 2 kids harder? The mental load shift when you have more than one child Why the 1 to 2 transition feels like survival mode Postpartum reality no one warns you about The guilt of splitting your attention between kids Age gaps: what actually matters (and what doesn’t) The truth about screen time, survival mode & mom guilt How your relationship changes after kids What no one tells you about deciding on baby #3 The real experience of “baby fever” How older kids react when a new baby is coming Why this stage feels so overwhelming (and why it does end) 👶 New here?
