Episode 1: Introduction to Pregnancy

In this first full episode of the Rhode to Pregnancy Podcast, Ashley Houlihan and Malia Perales give a big-picture overview of pregnancy— from preconception to postpartum. They break down how the menstrual cycle works, when and how conception happens, and the early signs of pregnancy. You’ll also learn what to expect in each trimester, how long pregnancy typically lasts, and why prenatal care matters. Finally, they touch on birth timelines and what the postpartum or “fourth trimester” looks like. Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, already expecting, or simply curious, this episode sets the stage for future deep dives into each stage of the journey.
