We've heard about Postpartum Depression but whats the difference between PPD and Postpartum Psychosis? Why do new moms wake up in the middle of the night and frantically dig through their bed looking for their baby who is safely sleeping in a bassinet beside them? Why do breasts lactate from the mere sound of a baby crying? Should you eat your placenta? Are there lasting health risks/benefits from giving birth? And finally, whats the word regarding cord blood? In this episode, Mike PhD, Kevin PhD and Samantha discuss what happens to a woman's body and mind after giving birth. Learn more: www.wysp.us

Mike PhD and Kevin PhD are back to discuss genetic dominance in the womb and why some predispositions can be predicted and/or verified while others cannot.   As science continues to progress, will the accuracy of quantifiable predictions sharpen? Samantha and her husband are expecting their first child this summer and it wasn't even halfway through their first trimester when they realized the experience of becoming a parent is nothing like they imagined.  Endless screenings, tests, judgmental opinions from doctors, nurses and friends and essentially no resource for support.  Fed up with being guilt tripped and scared, Samantha turned to the Scientists at WYSP to discuss what was actually going on with her body and her baby and quickly realized that the word "fault" should be struck from the vocabulary of any expectant parent.

We are STOKED to be part of a six episode series with Samantha, our boss and host of the Human Interest podcast, "When I Knew" which is also from WYSP. In this series, the three of us are going to be discussing the science of pregnancy, labor, delivery and early childhood development. It's no secret that parents are under a ton of pressure with the rise of perfectionist lives displayed all over Social Media and everyone thinking they're a Philosopher a la Google.  But the truth of the matter is that getting pregnant has millions of scientific obstacles that prevent even the best of "candidates" from procreation.
