All Your Second Trimester Questions Answered

All Your Second Trimester Questions Answered

Author: Liesel Teen June 26, 2023 Duration: 27:57

On this week's episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, we'll be discussing second-trimester topics in an "ask me anything" style episode.

I love doing these for you all, and it seems that you enjoy them too! We'll cover subjects such as peeing while sneezing, kick counts, the glucose tolerance test, birth classes, placenta previa, and more!

All the questions on today's show were submitted via Instagram stories, and I've selected a few that I want to answer in more detail than I can provide on Instagram.
