0:00.0	Hi, ladies. I had a question about postpartum depression, anxiety, or rage. I was told I had a low-line placenta. My OB at the time told me not to exercise or have intercourse.

Like you you have the nerve to tell a couple when they can and cannot have sex. Like, get out of their bedroom. Obviously, if there was, like, something major going on, like an infection or reading. If there was a true reason, fine. What's the first thing you put in your mouth in the morning? How can that not be a toothbrush for everybody? Okay, good. It's not for you, is it?
0:40.0	Definitely not my toothbrush. I have to wake up and brush my teeth. I cannot even imagine not.
0:46.1	No. And you drink coffee before you brush your teeth. For sure. I can't believe that.
0:53.1	We should do a poll on that because one of us is definitely crazy.
0:58.6	I'm Cynthia Overgard, owner of hypniburthing of Connecticut,
1:02.1	childbirth advocate, and postpartum support specialist.
1:05.5	And I'm Tresha Ludwig, certified nurse midwife and international board certified lactation consultant.
1:11.7	And this is the down-to-birth podcast.

1:39.4	We're back.
1:40.6	That should be a silent R in that word.
1:42.3	Nobody says February.
1:44.1	It's just impossible. Always a tough one to spell in that word. Nobody says February. It's just impossible.
1:45.9	It's a tough one to spell because of that. It's just, they should just declare it silent.
1:50.8	It stresses me out every time I have to say it. We can declare it silent. It's silent.
1:55.3	You know, like I'm not articulate anymore when I have to say the word February.
1:59.3	All right. Well, what have we got? We asked a question
2:04.4	to everyone, didn't we? Yeah, yeah. We asked some fun questions this morning. Then we got a lot of
2:09.2	fun responses. Which ones are we going to discuss? The one I figured that we should talk about
2:13.8	today is someone asked us to ask the community if they lost a friend since having
