Have you ever had or heard of brief, intense, negative emotions associated with breastfeeding?

That is called dysmorphic milk ejection reflex, and I'm going to break it down for you in this shorty episode.

Welcome to the all about Pregnancy and Birth Podcast.

If you're having a baby in the hospital, you are giving birth in a system that too often takes away power from women over what happens in their own bodies.

I'm Dr. Nicole Calloway-Rankins, a practicing board certified OBGYN, who's had the privilege of helping well over a thousand babies into this world. I've been a doctor for over 20

years, and I'm here to help you take back your power, advocate for yourself, and have the beautiful

pregnancy and birth that you deserve. This podcast is for educational purposes only and it's not a substitute

Now I'm on a mission to spread the word.
