Dr. Erdman delivered my son almost exactly 5 years ago! I did a double take when I saw her name on the list of episodes but it’s really her! First of all I would love to know how you selected her for the show. Not that it surprised me. She is the perfect combination of a competent and incredibly calm & approachable professional. She told me something I have since repeated to many mothers about the decisions we make every day as a parent, “The thing is”, she said, “there are no wrong answers but there aren’t any right answers either”. Think about it. Or don’t.

I also appreciated this episode! My hormones are definitely changing as I enter my late thirties and this is helping me re-evaluate my opposition to “hormone pills.” 🙂

In reply to Megan. @Megan - turns out we have a lot of listeners between the ages of 35-45. Seems like it might be our prime demographic!!

I learned so much from this episode! As someone who is turning 40 next month, the timing was perfect and much of what Dr. Erdman shared corresponded with my own recent experiences. I also shared this episode with two friends who just turned or are just about to turn 40 and we all commented that our text exchange about the episode was the first any of us had actually talked about perimenopause. Thank you for shedding light on this topic and providing great information and advice!

Lived the episode even though I’m not close to the this phase yet. It has always sounded so horrible and mystical the way my mom and her friends described it. Now I wish I lived closer to Maryland! I wonder if you could also do an episode on what you would do again or avoid before getting pregnant the first time? Thanks for keeping us company this long winter :))

This was a great episode! I am a doctor too but I definitely learned some new things from her. Really great to focus on women’s health. Thanks!

In reply to Lisa of Lisa's Yarns. @Lisa - wow, that sounds like an incredibly not-fun mutation. Only a few more weeks to go, though, right??

In reply to Dominique.

@Dominique – great idea – framing things in terms of what we’re focusing on now helps move things along without the “hurry it up!” comments. I try to give my kids a warning “five minutes before we need to focus on this…”
