| 10/14/26 | #389 | October Breastfeeding Q&A: Colic, Getting Pregnant & Breastfeeding “Rules” | Welcome to another Breastfeeding Q&A episode. Today, we start with a conversation about breastfeeding advice on social media and ask our community which breastfeeding “rules” they wish they had never heard. For today's questions, Trisha responds to these listener topics: Getting your period back while breastfeeding and whether you need to wean to conceive Night nursing at 14 months and how prolactin can affect the return of ovulation Colic, gas, high-pitched cr... | 43m 41s | ||||||
| 10/7/26 | #388 | Twin Home Birth at 38 Weeks: Leaving High-Risk Care and Choosing a Midwife | When Victoria learned at 10 weeks that she was carrying MoDi twins, she was immediately placed in high-risk care and told to expect frequent monitoring, an operating-room birth, and potentially a C-section. But as her pregnancy progressed, the fear and anxiety she felt at every appointment led her to reconsider the model of care she had accepted. Victoria joins us to share how she left her OB and maternal-fetal medicine team midway through pregnancy and found a home birth midwife experienced ... | 28m 27s | ||||||
| 10/1/26 | #387 | September Q&A: Home Birth Reactions, Miscarriage Prevention, Short Umbilical Cords, Stalled Pushing, Postpartum Anxiety, Tandem Breastfeeding | Welcome to the September Q&A!

Then we get into your questions. One mother is seven weeks pregnant after a 12-week miscarriage earlier... | 55m 48s | ||||||
| 9/23/26 | #386 | Why Home Birth: A Father's Perspective on Choosing Birth Outside the System | When Marine Corps officer Jacob Dubois's wife, Madison, told him she wanted a home birth, he was skeptical. He assumed the hospital was the safest place to have a baby until he began asking questions, researching, and meeting midwives. That journey inspired Jacob to write Why Home Birth?, a book written for fathers who want to better understand birth and confidently support the women they love in chooseing birth outside of the medical system. In this conversation, we discuss why birth e... | 42m 27s | ||||||
| 9/16/26 | #385 | The Lindsay Clancy Case: Postpartum Psychosis or Psychiatric Drug Reaction? with Dr. Roger McFillin | The tragic case of Lindsay Clancy has ignited a national conversation about postpartum psychosis, maternal mental health, and criminal responsibility. Clinical psychologist Dr. Roger McFillin of The Radically Genuine Podcast believes a critical part of the story has been largely overlooked: the psychiatric care Lindsay received in the months leading up to what happened. Roger returns to Down to Birth to examine Lindsay’s medical history, severe sleep deprivation, reported reactions to psychia... | 1h 21m 46s | ||||||
