We also touch on holistic home gifts, simple baby essentials, and a few underrated but incredibly supportive ideas that make a real impact during pregnancy and postpartum.

• Understanding Rhogam, Anti-D, and the Rh Factor | with Rachael Nalley

  In this week’s episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of Rhogam (also known as Anti-D) and the Rh factor—what it means, when it’s offered, and how to make an informed decision about whether it’s right for you. This is one of those topics that’s often brushed over in prenatal care, but understanding it can make a huge difference in how you approach your pregnancy from a place of awareness and autonomy.I’m joined by Rachael Nalley, a believer, wife, mom of four, homebirth doula, and creator of The Labor Comb. Rachael’s passion for birth began in 2017 when she was pregnant with her first and became fascinated by the beauty of natural, physiological birth.
