WEBVTT - MEGHAN TRAINOR: "Dear Future Mama" 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.680 Isn't the month of May marvelous? While April may be 0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:13.000 the official beginning of spring, it has to deal with Winter, 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:17.400 who's still hanging out like that last party guest who 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.279 just doesn't ever want to go home. But once we've 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:25.120 flipped the calendar to May, there's absolutely no doubt that 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:30.320 Spring has arrived in her full glory, and Winter finally 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:35.120 gets the message and says it's last goodbyes. The sun 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:40.559 shines warmly, the birds sing sweetly, and the air it 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:45.559 carries the floral sense of many thousands of blossoms in 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:51.479 my farm. Around my farm, I've got trees that are blooming. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:57.800 I've got rhododendrons and azelias. I've got all these beautiful 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:02.200 trees that are blooming. And it's smells so wonderful. It's 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:07.360 the earth giving birth. So of course we celebrate mother's motherhood, mothering. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:12.600 It's only natural that we should. Today's Grammy winning podcast 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:14.680 guest has a thing or two to add to the 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:20.800 conversation about mothers about motherhood. She's a Newish mom herself, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.840 with a toddler to tend to Riley and another babe 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.520 on the way, and in the same real talk fashion, 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.520 she pinned her chart topping singles All About That Bass 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:36.000 and Dear Future Husband. Meghan Trainers pinned a new book, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.640 Dear Future Mama, A TMI guide to pregnancy, birth, a 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.360 new motherhood from your bestie. Music has been a part 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.120 of Meghan's life always. Her dad was the church organist 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.480 and her uncle, Burton Tony, was a recording artist. She 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.440 began writing songs when she was a kid. Throughout junior 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.840 and senior high school, she learned to play a number 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.800 of instruments. She sang in choirs and bands, and entered 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:08.919 and won songwriting competitions. By the time she graduated from 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.200 high school, she'd already recorded three albums of her own material, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.000 and that's about the same time she signed her first 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.600 publishing deal. Her twenty fourteen smash hit All About That 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.840 Bass went to number one around the world and was 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:27.920 soon followed by Lipster Movin and Dear Future Husband. With 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:34.000 this much talent, ambition, determination and success, just imagine how 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.960 laughable it must have been when she was told that 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:41.639 pregnancy and motherhood would damage her career. I am such 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.400 a big fan of this bright, sassy mama. We're going 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.560 to get to chat about her book her babies, her 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.919 latest single mother, and anything else she has on her heart. 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:55.960 Just after I tell you about a podcast sponsor that 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:01.560 makes this conversation possible, The American strog Association wants you 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:06.200 to know that May is National American Stroke Month. I'm 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.000 helping to spread the word and doing all I can 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.880 to raise awareness of the number five cause of death, 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:16.080 the number three for women, and the leading cause of 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:21.640 disability in the US. Those numbers are alarming, but strokes 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:26.239 can be prevented by maintaining your optimal health and knowing 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.480 your risk factors. Get to know your healthcare professional and 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.639 work as a team to keep you healthy and happy. 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:38.080 And here do you know the warning signs of stroke? 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.280 Most adults don't, And because strokes need immediate medical help, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:49.080 recognizing the signs can save lives. Maybe your own learning 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:55.480 fast fast can save lives.

That's all the sweetest. 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.120 So I always knew like I wanted to write a 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.920 book someday. I didn't know what it would be about, 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.920 whether my career or but when I went through pregnancy, 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.960 it was like so wild and so different, and I 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:08.319 was so alone, and my best friends were strangers on 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:13.360 YouTube giving me advice, and I had gestational diabetes and. 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.280 There was like no YouTube videos on that. 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.720 Like I was like, give me a recipe, give me 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.800 like an idea of what I should do for a 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.400 workout or anything, and there was like nothing in My 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.240 first thought was, oh gosh, we need to make an 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:28.920 app to like help other mamas out there, because there 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.320 was no thing out here. I accidentally, I was so 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.480 afraid of carbs that I put myself on a Keto 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.960 flu on accident, and I just felt awful and I 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:38.440 had to. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.959 Keep working and do a Christmas album and I was like. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.280 I'm tired, I'm sick, I've got a fever. 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.880 I was like, I'm failing my blood tests every four 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:49.480 hours and I I'm not. 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:53.959 Doing this right. I need help. But then other crazy 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:55.040 stuff happened with my birth. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.800 I had a C section and he didn't come out crying, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.640 and they went to the nick You for five days, 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.920 which I'm lucky. A lot of people don't come out 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.560 of there for five months. So mine felt like a 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.400 breeze compared to the stories I've heard. But I wanted 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.960 to talk about it so that other Nikki mamas didn't 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.640 feel so alone. And then I was on my intied 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.720 presidents during my pregnancy, so I talk about that and 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.440 I have a dietitian in the book, a trainer who 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.920 specializes in pregnant women, and my actual obgyn who did 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.280 my surgery, and my husband all up in the book. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.560 So it's just what I wish I had before I 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:34.720 went through it alone. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:40.800 How sweet is that? Because I think about my mom 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:45.480 back in her generation, like they would knock women out 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.520 and four steps, you know, pull the baby out by 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.679 the skull, and the moms wouldn't wake up for twenty 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.920 four hours or whatever. It was like you had no 0:10:58.160 --> 0:11:02.800 say in the most profound experience of your life. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.720 Yeah, I wrote about that in the book.
