Welcome to the June Q&A with Cynthia and Trisha! Today, we start the episode with all the romantic, hilarious, and random ways our community met their spouses, and we finish the episode with one woman's question to us: "If you were a dog, what kind would you be?" -- you'll hear us reach out to a friend on the spot to answer that question for us. In the regular version of this episode, we answer the following questions:

Help! I am losing trust in my body after having experienced miscarriage. What do I do?
My midwife told me I that my pelvic shape causes me to have back labor and a posterior baby. Is this true?
How can I manage negative comments at work about pregnancy in general?
Is artificial rupture of membranes a necessary part of induction for pre-eclampsia?

In the extended version of today's episode, available on Patreon and Apple subscriptions, we answer the following:

Should you limit time spent breastfeeding to ensure a baby doesn't burn too many calories feeding at the breast?
Do I have to be monitored continuously in labor for high blood pressure?
Does consuming the placenta or cord tissue after after birth prevent postpartum hemorrhage? My midwife told me this is a biohazard. Is this true?

As always, we close with a round of rapid fire quickies! Thank you for your excellent questions and please continue to call them in to our hotline at 802-438-3696 or 802-GET-DOWN!
