This week's episode is a Power Replay that’s packed with essential info every expecting parent should hear.

Amniotic fluid might not be something you think about every day, but let me tell you, it plays a huge role in your baby’s health. Whether it’s too little or too much, the amount of amniotic fluid matters. And understanding it can help you feel more confident and informed as you navigate your pregnancy journey.

In this replay, I’m breaking it all down for you:

What exactly is amniotic fluid and why it's so important
What it's made of and how it's created
How we measure it (and why those measurements matter)
What happens when there’s too little (oligohydramnios) or too much (polyhydramnios)
What causes these conditions and how we manage them

I'll also share personal insights from my own pregnancies—yes, I had polyhydramnios myself—and what that experience was like.

Whether you're preparing for birth or just want to deepen your understanding, this episode is a must-listen.
