Cradle and All

So many things can change after having children - your body, your time, your money. With that change can come a loss of the identity you had prior to having kids. This week, we’re talking about our personal experiences redefining ourselves after having babies. Join us as we talk about what has changed and the lessons we have learned.

We don't know about you, but we haven't discovered a handbook that gives us all the answers about parenting our children. Until that book arrives, we're on our own to figure things out! In this episode we discuss our learned and experienced parenting styles as well as our approaches to disciplining our kids. Listen as we discuss how we try to prepare our little ones to be awesome and well behaved little people.

You may have previously recovered from the delivery of a baby or are preparing to go through this. So you may have questions about what is normal and what is not. Have you ever been referred to a pelvic floor physical therapist? Or have you been curious about them?
In today's episode, you will hear from Dr. Jessica Thompson, a pelvic floor physical therapist. She shares why a visit to a pelvic floor PT can benefit ALL women - in pregnancy, postpartum, and even without having had a child. Join us for a great conversation!

Pregnancy is a very exciting time that is filled with both physical and emotional changes. However, new worries about your changing body and safety of your growing baby can lead to a new sense of vulnerability, whether it’s your first or last pregnancy. These fears can be especially heightened with the frightening reality that Black women are 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy related complications.

April 11-17 represents Black Maternal Health Week. In recognition of this week and in efforts to broaden the conversation on this important issue, Renita talks about the realities of black maternal health disparities in the US. She discusses ways to advocate for yourself during pregnancy and also ways that healthcare providers can work to improve health outcomes for all women.

This week while we are on summer vacation, catch up on all our podcast episodes. We have re-released one of our very first episodes... All about our birth stories.
This episode, we talk all about our different birth stories. With four kiddos between the two of us, we had VERY different labor and delivery experiences - from inductions and scheduled C-sections to VBAC and unplanned complications. Listen as we discuss ways to prepare for delivery but also how to prepare for the unexpected.
We love connecting with other mamas about their pregnancies, births, and parenting experiences. If you are interested in being on the podcast or providing topic ideas, message us at [email protected] or DM us on IG @thecradleandall.

As always, please don't forget to subscribe and write a review. Thank you for listening!
