Did you know, 50-75% of new moms who have postpartum depression are never diagnosed? Welcoming a new baby is a life-changing experience that comes with significant hormonal, physical and emotional changes. Stress, anxiety, sadness and fear are all normal emotions during the postpartum period. You’re likely familiar with words like postpartum depression, perinatal depression, maternal depression, and baby blues. But what do they all mean?
Today we have a profound and powerful conversation with Dr. Rachel Herbst, pediatric psychologist and therapist Kara Messmore about these types of depression and their impact on families and children. We learn how to identify symptoms of PPD and discuss psychosocial stressors that pre-dispose parents to depression. Kara and Rachel also provide tips on how families and friends can support new parents and ways for caregivers to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing a new parent can do for their own health and for their baby.

It is well known that menstrual cycles can be stressful and painful – especially when a young person first starts their period. Most people learn from their family members about what to expect and how to be as comfortable as possible during menstrual cycles.
But what if your family’s “normal” isn’t normal at all? Margo D’Agostino had excessively heavy menstrual bleeding for years – including some symptoms, that in hindsight, were quite alarming. But her mom had the same experience, so they together decided it must be normal. Spoiler, it wasn’t normal – Margo has a bleeding disorder called Von Willebrand’s disease, that other members of her family likely have too.
On the podcast today, Margo and Dr. Maria Carter Febres, a pediatric hematologist, join us to talk about bleeding disorders and Margo’s journey to find answers about her health. We talk about typical menstruation experiences, the importance of normalizing conversations about monthly cycles and what to do if something doesn’t seem quite right with your own or your child’s health.

Do you think your baby has a flat spot on her head? Does it seem like he always lays his head to the same side when laying down? Your baby could have positional plagiocephaly or torticollis, or both! These conditions are common for infants and both concerns are worth seeing a doctor about. They are big words, but so much simpler than we realize. Torticollis is Latin for “twisted neck” and just means an infant may prefer twisting their head to one side or the other. Plagiocephaly is the flattening on an infant’s head due to repeated twisting and lying flat. In the second episode of the Young & Healthy infant series, Dawn Rothchild, advanced practice nurse in the division of plastic surgery and Dr. Amy Mischnick, pediatric physical therapist, join us to tell us more about these two conditions. We discuss causes, treatments, and prevention for both. Dawn and Amy also share how the two conditions can occur simultaneously and provide advice for next steps if you are concerned about your baby.
