Up All Night: The Parenting Podcast

Ashley and Hannah are back at it without a solid episode topic, but go over some general topics like insights after a baby shower, more ideas of how you can prep for your new family member (and why are there so many small plastic tags on baby clothes?!), Ashley's check-in about how prepping her pets is going, and a reminder to enjoy the final days before your baby comes and your life is changed forever.Resources & Links:Buy Nothing GroupsHaka Breast PumpTOG ratings infoReach out anytime at [email protected] and visit our website upallnightpodcast.com Facebook: Up All Night PodcastInstagram: @upallnightparentingpodcastTiktok: @upallnightpodcast 

Content warning: Eating disorders and pregnancy lossThis episode doesn't have as much of a theme as the others, because Ashley is sharing some of the big feelings she's been having now being 35 weeks pregnant, like being grateful to not be a parent yet, worrying about what isn't done yet, and not loving the process of pregnancy. Halfway through the episode the girls read through some Reddit stories and give their takes.Reach out anytime at [email protected] and visit our website upallnightpodcast.com Facebook: Up All Night PodcastInstagram: @upallnightparentingpodcastTiktok: @upallnightpodcast

On this week's episode, Hannah shares the story of the first time she gave birth and all of the highs and lows associated with it: what went wrong, what went right, and what she wish she knew beforehand. Then, Ashley covers some material she learned in a class she took on labor and delivery (something we recommend everyone takes, no matter if you've given birth before!).

Boundaries. When should you start setting them? When should you hold firm and when to compromise? And how the heck do you respond when people ask you crazy questions about your kid or insist on kissing your baby? Ashley and Hannah dive into it all, and reveal that there is a grizzly bear inside all of us, but you don't need to let the bear attack sintantly all the time (...but sometimes you do).

In episode 2, we discuss the importance of cultivating and having a village when you're about to welcome a new child into the family. We give pointers on where to look for more people to add to your village, how to help postpartum parents if you're a member of the village or how to ask for help if you're the parent-to-be, and things postpartum moms may find helpful after giving birth.
