Preparing for the Delivery Room with Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins

The Messy Mom Podcast

Today, we're thrilled to have Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins return to the show to dive into all things related to preparing for the delivery room. It's a special full-circle moment as she previously joined us right before Bailey's first son was born, discussing birth preparation and creating a birth plan. Now, we're back for her second pregnancy, covering everything about the delivery room experience!

If you're expecting or know someone who is, especially if it's their first time, this episode is packed with information. Listen in as we cover where to start for pregnancy education, red flags when selecting a healthcare provider, the advantages of having a Doula during birth, tips for being well-prepared for your birth experience, and more!

• One of the biggest questions we get is what protein powder do you recommend? While there are many out there, not all are created equal. We always look for ones that are third-party tested, have no artificial ingredients, and have at least 20 grams or more of high-quality protein. So we are happy to be partnering with Just Ingredients to give you 10% off your order.
