Growing with HeHe, episode 28: HeHe navigates the emotional highs and lows of late pregnancy, from tears over Instagram posts and missing comfort foods to intense pelvic and urethral pressure that feels like something is pressing on her urethra. Braxton Hicks contractions are increasing day and night, with magnesium offering limited relief. Amid the intensity, practical progress continues: her full birth team completed a dry run, her birth tub has been ordered, and she’s begun push prep with her pelvic floor physical therapist. Thoughtful postpartum planning is also underway, including meal services and visitor boundaries, making the approaching arrival feel very real. Watch here: https://bit.ly/4egJAzx

Growing with Garrett, episode 41: In the series finale of Growing with Garrett, Garrett reflects on life one month postpartum with her daughter Summer and how different this experience has been from her first.

With strong support systems in place including family help, lactation consulting, and postpartum services, she moves through early motherhood with more ease, flexibility, and self-trust, letting go of rigid recovery expectations.

Growing with HeHe, episode 27: HeHe moves firmly into the birth window, sharing the mix of excitement and physical discomfort that marks late pregnancy. With her belly dropped, she experiences heavy vaginal and re**al pressure, though overall feels well. As maternity leave continues, she focuses on gentle labor prep with red raspberry leaf tea, dates, and other rituals. Conversations with Dr. Berlin cover intimacy in late pregnancy, finishing the nursery, and early colostrum collection. She highlights how a belly band eases pelvic pressure and reflects on savoring quiet “just us” moments with her husband before the baby arrives. The episode captures a calm, grounded anticipation, the reflective pause before everything changes. Watch here: https://bit.ly/3REkWzW

Growing with Garrett, episode 40: Garrett shares the full birth story of her daughter, Summer, beginning with an unexpected admission at 41 weeks after a failed BPP and unclear communication. What follows is a long induction with misoprostol, intense contractions, and minimal progress, leading to exhaustion, emotional overwhelm, and ultimately an epidural. After hours of labor with little change, everything shifts suddenly: she reaches 10 centimeters late that night and delivers Summer shortly after 1:30 AM. In this raw account, Garrett reflects on a physically and emotionally intense birth that ultimately ended in deep gratitude and awe. Watch here: https://bit.ly/4d7NYR1

Growing with HeHe, episode 26: HeHe reflects on the transition into maternity leave while navigating the final weeks of pregnancy amid home construction chaos. She shares the mental challenge of “trust falling” from her business and adjusting to the unusual quiet of not working around the clock. Physically, she experiences her baby’s hiccups, increasing heartburn, and early Braxton Hicks contractions, with relief found through magnesium, her husband’s Italian “brisky” remedy, kinesio taping, and weekly acupuncture for balance and rest. She also discusses minimal prenatal care with her midwives, staying calm amid dust and disarray, and celebrating her baby shower with friends and family as she approaches 36 weeks, embracing both preparation and anticipation.

Growing with Garrett, episode 39: Garrett discusses pregnancy from 40 to 41 weeks, navigating daily monitoring and growing pressure to induce due to IVF despite reassuring tests. Exhausted but intent on avoiding intervention, she follows her intuition when something feels off at 41 weeks. After a final BPP leads to unexpected findings and a long, emotionally charged day in triage, she learns she won’t be going home. This episode reflects on the liminal space of waiting in late pregnancy, and the clarity that can come from trusting intuition even when clinical data appears normal.
