Q&A: Am I taking my birth control pills correctly? (Part 2.5)
In Part 3 we’re going to cover: Does it really matter when I take the pill? What do I do if I miss the pill? How long do I wait in between packs? But first – just a tiny bit of the relevant theory. Actually, it’s a stretch to call it theory. Let’s call itContinue reading “Q&A: Am I taking my birth control pills correctly? (Part 2.5)”
Q&A: Am I taking my birth control pills correctly? (Part 2)
In the last post we talked a little bit about the reasons for taking birth control pills, and how estrogen and progesterone work together to support the uterine lining. I am not going to take this opportunity to dive deep into hormones (that’s a topic to discuss all on its own), but I’ll share aContinue reading “Q&A: Am I taking my birth control pills correctly?

When and Why is Pregnancy Spacing Important?
How long should a woman wait to get pregnant after a C Section? Why wait? And does it matter (medically) how quickly a generally healthy woman gets pregnant if she hasn’t had a C Section? Note: I want to make sure this was clear – if a woman wants spacing of over a year andContinue reading “When and Why is Pregnancy Spacing Important?”
Interview! Tamar’s Re-Lactation Story
To breastfeed or not to breastfeed – that was Tamar’s question. And she took some time to answer it. In this podcast, Tamar shares her recent experience nursing her 4th child. Not only was this her first time breastfeeding, but she made it happen when her daughter was almost 1 month old! Tamar tells usContinue reading “Interview! Tamar’s Re-Lactation Story”
Medications in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
As I was working on my “Preparing for a Healthy Pregnancy” podcast, I realized medications (aka medicines or prescriptions) in pregnancy and breastfeeding (aka lactation) definitely deserved their own post with links (scroll straight down for those!) and more explanation (read on, my friend!). Why do medications deserve so much attention? When grown adults takeContinue reading “Medications in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding”

Birth Control Options for Frum Women
So….birth control. (Also known as “contraception.”) It’s just not something generally spoken about in Bais Yaakovs, seminary, or even Kallah classes. I don’t have any statistics, but it seems that use of birth control is getting more common in the frum community. Perhaps societal expectations and pressures are changing; perhaps women are just sharing moreContinue reading “Birth Control Options for Frum Women”
