| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. |
| 0:05.4 | On this week's episode, we've got our weekly check-ins. |
| 0:07.7 | We have a very special segment, an interview with lactation consultant Jessica Claire, answering listener questions. |
| 0:15.1 | It's such a great segment. |
| 0:16.9 | And we wrap it up with our weekly BFPs and BFNs. |
| 0:20.0 | Let's get to it. |
| 0:22.2 | Hey, welcome to the show. Hey, Laura. Hey, Shana. How are you guys doing? How old's your baby? |

| 1:25.1 | Yay! That was a benefit. However, he did have to get his little toe pricked for the hemoglobin test to see if his iron was doing okay. |
| 1:36.5 | Oh, yeah. |
| 1:37.4 | Yeah. |
| 1:38.0 | And turns out it's not. |
