0:00.0 | Ask me! Ask a Liza anything it's time to ask! Ask me on your question! Leave them in the Instagram comments section! Leave them on your Twitter! |
0:15.0 | Or leave them on your Facebook! We'll see them! We'll read them! Then we'll give you answers! You know it! I've got it! |
0:23.0 | I've got the answer! You asked me! Ask me on your image! Help! Help! Help me! |
0:33.0 | Well, I had a baby! Why wait? Why do the podcast thing where we like draw it out? I got plenty of content. |
0:43.0 | If you start out like, I have something that I want to share with everyone. This is after last week's episode where you had to record because the baby hadn't come yet. |
0:54.0 | And you were kind of like, well, I hope it's here by the next episode. It was. |
0:58.0 | Yeah, it is. It was. It is. I'm going to tell you the abridged version of this because every woman has their birthing story. |
1:06.0 | And I have to be honest, I'm kind of glad to be recording it like this because there's such a connection that I'm so grateful for and an exchange when you talk to other women that have gone through this. |
1:20.0 | But what I have found is that a lot of sharing is less a dialogue and more, each person's having a monologue about their birthing experience, their child, and the words are just pinging off of each other. |
1:33.0 | Versus actually hearing it. And it's actually my least favorite type of conversation. |
1:39.0 | Like I just got out of the hospital and I'm telling a friend and she's like, yeah, well, when I went in, dead, dead, dead, and you're like, okay, I don't care about you, your baby. |
1:47.0 | Like, give me five minutes to act like I'm the only one that's ever given birth. And then I'll join the rank and file of mothers. |
1:55.0 | But so here's the. And I can't I'm not I'm not going to say, well, when I pulled my cat out of that car, I mean, you can only sit there and be an awe and in shock and horrified. |
2:08.0 | Long story short is her due date her second due date was the 13th. And no, and I had just decided like, look, we're very lucky. We have this time. |
2:17.0 | We don't go anywhere because of COVID. So it's not like I can go do a set because I'm trying to be safe because everyone has it. |
2:25.0 | Because I have the ability to do it. So we decided, you know what? We'll look at this like a gift. We're going to get up every morning. We'll go for a fun coffee. We'll pick a hike. |
2:33.0 | We'll get lunch like and we watch a movie like a criterion collection movie. So no big deal. |
2:40.0 | We can think out of it and it's slow and it's whatever, but that's okay. Like there are worse things. |
2:47.0 | And so we went for a week. Like day four of doing this went for a hike and we're eating and I get one of the I get a call from the doctor's office. |
2:54.0 | There's this generic voice that a lot of office administrator workers in LA have, especially medical offices. It's this like female sort of low tone like, hi, this is Angela calling from Dr. Smith's office. |
3:11.0 | I just wanted like, I don't know who like we have to teach women like speak with confidence. Hi, this is Emily. I'm calling like try to sound like a robot. |
3:20.0 | They all just sound like kind of beaten down. I'm calling to just check up. If you could call me back at a phone tree that will never answer again. |
