Ep. 41 “It’s your vulva, not your vagina” and other thoughts

Liz and Jenny sit down today for a catch up episode: discussing Cribsheet by Emily Oster, talking body parts with toddlers, finding happiness, and taking responsibility for your journey.

In this episode:

  • Can you be happy and yet not content at the same time? Is that not being in the moment? Is that not practicing gratitude? 
  • Sweet toddler Edith is very informed on her anatomy and is proud to be on Team Vulva with her mama and the rest of the women in this wide world! 
  • Liz celebrates the beautiful, personal care she is receiving from her birth team. It *can* be this good! And how a doula who knows you personally can help you get a little bit better support. Find your best team and take charge of your journey. 
  • We finally get around to reviewing Cribsheet by Emily Oster. Emily takes a data-driven approach to the questions parents have in their child’s first two years of life. Straight data without judgement is a refreshing change from the piles of “you should do this or shouldn’t do that” parenting advice books available to us all. While her research and explanations are impeccable, her summarized suggestions miss the mark when it comes to nuanced experiences and the many, many variables that exist in postpartum. As a reference book, and a starting point for great conversations, this is a gem.
  • Next book club coming up: Babies Are Not Pizzas by Rebecca Dekker of Evidence Based Birth
