mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 21:04
Jessie and Amanda, hosts of the Baby Then What podcast, formerly Pregnant Bitchez, get real about motherhood, why they can't film together right now, and why that doesn't mean this is goodbye. They talk about launching Substack, the flood of emails and DMs they've gotten since, and why writing in the in between hours might end up being even more raw than the podcast ever was. Then they go all the way back to the beginning, how this started as Pregnant Bitchez, how it became Baby Then What, and everything that happened this summer. Amanda also gives a first look at a possible solo season with guest moms.
If you're pregnant or new to motherhood, this is the perfect place to start. Then go back and listen from episode one for the full story.

5:48 Sex After Baby, Toddler Tantrums, 2 Under 2 & Are We Done Having Kids? The Season 5 Finale Q&A
Saison 5 · Épisode 46
jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 30:02
Season 5 is a wrap, and we're ending it the way we started: with your questions. No filter, no BS.
We kick things off by looking back on everything this season was. Amanda had a baby. We recorded in the Bahamas and took a pregnancy test on camera. First-time moms kept reminding us that every journey is different but the feelings are universal. And you guys kept us honest every single week, the good feedback, the bad feedback, and everything in between. We love you for it.
Then we get into the Q&A, the questions you texted, Googled at 2am, and slid into our DMs.
This week we're answering:
The 1–2 year old stage: what it's really like and how to survive it
What life with three kids is actually like right now
Is 2 under 2 as terrible as everyone says? (Spoiler: not really)
Toddler tantrums: how to get through them without losing your mind
Daycare doing things you don't love when it's your only option
Pregnant with a one-year-old: how to manage
Gestational diabetes : our experience and what helped
Positive ovulation tests before a missed period: and what that might mean
What to actually do to prepare for baby #2 (hint: build your team)
Breastfeeding in public: our honest take (it changed a lot between kid one and three)
Postpartum hair loss: when it starts, when it ends, does it ever end?
Sex after baby: realistic timelines and what actually affects it
How do you know when you're done having kids?
What to do when you desperately want another baby but your partner is done
Would we ever do a live tour or meet-and-greet? (We're thinking Montreal and Miami 👀)
Plus, we have news. We're taking a summer break and will be back in September with new guests, our husbands returning, topics we've never covered, and a few surprises. Our Substacks are launching this summer with bonus Q&As, product reviews, personal stories, and things that don't always fit into a podcast format. And merch, BTW merch or Pregnant Bitches merch? We need your vote.
5.47: The Questions You're Googling at 2AM Postpartum (Mom Guilt, Resentment, Identity Loss + More)
Saison 5 · Épisode 47
jeudi 25 juin 2026 • Durée 19:46
We pulled the questions you're actually Googling at 2am, the ones you're too scared to ask out loud, and we're answering all of them, no fluff.
In this episode of Baby Then What, Amanda and Jessie tackle your most-submitted postpartum questions: Is it normal not to feel instant love with your baby? Why does mom guilt never go away? Why do you secretly resent your partner postpartum? And what's the real difference between a night nurse and a mother's helper?
This is the unfiltered Q&A you've been asking for, the stuff nobody prepares you for, answered honestly.
In this episode, we talk about:
Is it normal not to feel instant love with your baby?
Why you might miss your old life (even when you love being a mom)
The truth about resenting your partner postpartum
Mom guilt: why it never actually ends
Feeding guilt, breast, formula, combo, and why it hits so hard
What to actually ask your village for help with
Night nurse vs. mother's helper: what's the difference and which one you need
How to ask for help without feeling like a failure
The identity shift no one warns you about after baby #2
When you actually start feeling like yourself again (and if you ever fully do)
Pregnancy and birth in your 30s vs your 20s
The first time going out postpartum, what it's really like

5:46 Nobody Warned Us Our Marriage Would Do This: Relationships After Kids, The Honest Version
Saison 5 · Épisode 46
jeudi 18 juin 2026 • Durée 27:01
The two most common DMs we get? "I want to murder my husband" and "mother in law."
So we made the episode. This week Amanda and Jessie get into everything that actually happens to your relationship when you have kids, and nobody warns you about. The tier one tier two love shift the moment you hold your baby. The mental load and why just saying "how can I help" doesn't cut it. Why you're both exhausted and both think the other has it easier.
The new category of fighting that only exists when you have kids, because now everything is a decision. The touched out conversation and why mat leave and work life are two completely different worlds that are suddenly supposed to merge at 6pm. What real connection actually looks like when you have zero time. And what to actually say to the couple who is really struggling right now, not the therapist answer, the honest one. Plus: we are bringing the husbands back on in September. Comment if you want it.

5:45 Breastfeeding, Pumping & Formula: The Honest Truth Nobody Tells You
Saison 5 · Épisode 45
jeudi 11 juin 2026 • Durée 31:08
Amanda is seven weeks postpartum and officially off her blood pressure medication, and today we're getting into everything breastfeeding, pumping and formula.
From the first time they shove the baby on your boob in the hospital, to latching, supply issues, engorgement, mastitis, the boob vibrator that saved Amanda's life, and the combo trifecta that nobody warns you is completely exhausting.
We also get into what actually tanks your supply, why you're not losing the baby weight while breastfeeding, the pumping hack most people don't know about, and the one question every mom asks, when is it okay to stop? No judgment here. Just the real stuff.

5:44 The Mind F*ck That Is Postpartum - What Your Body Actually Goes Through
Saison 5 · Épisode 44
jeudi 4 juin 2026 • Durée 30:20
Amanda is officially five weeks postpartum and we are getting into all of it.
This week: what happens when postpartum doesn't go to plan, four days in, Amanda's blood pressure spiked, she ended up in the ER sobbing, and the next two weeks were a revolving door of hospitals downtown Toronto.
We break down the medication spiral (shoutout to everyone on labetalol, we see you), what OB Med is and why you might need it, and the postpartum stuff nobody puts in the baby books.
We cover breast engorgement and milk coming in (the good and the painful), the real reason for your six week checkup (hint: it is not about sex), bleeding, uterine contracting, hemorrhoids, sitz baths, peri bottles, tucks pads, all of it.
Plus: postpartum anxiety and depression, the mom guilt that hits hard with older kids at home, and why postpartum is not four weeks, it's two years.
If you're pregnant, postpartum, or you've ever grown a human this ones for you!

jeudi 21 mai 2026 • Durée 29:28
Part 2 is here and this is where it gets real.
After a year of heavy periods, depleted iron, and being told everything was normal, Jessie finally has answers. She walks through the exact protocol her functional medicine doctor put her on, what it actually did, and what happened after one month. Spoiler: her first normal period in years.
She also breaks down the new protocol based on her Gut Zoomer results - parasites, mold in her gut, leaky gut, low butyrate and why functional medicine keeps changing the plan (and why that's actually the point).
Plus the non-toxic swaps she's made at home: laundry, cookware, water, skincare, sun protection, coffee makers; not sponsored, not affiliated, just what she actually uses and what her own testing confirmed is working.
This one's for the mom who's been told she's fine and knows she's not.
