  A Gynae’s Guide to Getting Pregnant: Positions, Timing & Gender Myths (w Dr Christopher Chong)

  Aug 8, 202642 minS1

  What does it take to actually conceive, and how much of what we hear about fertility is just internet noise? In the twenty-seventh episode,  James Wong  and  Hazelle Teo  welcome premier obstetrician, gynecologist, and urogynecologist  Dr. Christopher Chong  to the studio for an unfiltered Q&A session on pregnancy, conception techniques, and female health. Having delivered over 10,000 babies—including his own three children—Dr. Chris brings decades of clinical expertise and medical authority to the classroom.   The episode tackles real questions submitted by viewers, ranging from the mechanics of uterine tilting and optimal sexual positions to the truth behind changing vaginal pH for baby gender selection. Dr. Chris debunks common myths—like whether green tea destroys male sperm count or if belly shapes predict a baby’s gender—while breaking down complex medical conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, and the step-by-step reality of IVF. This session serves as the ultimate practical guide for any couple navigating the journey to parenthood. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  WHEN TO WALK AWAY.

  Jul 25, 202632 minS1

  What happens when one partner is ready to build a future, but the other continuously shuts down every conversation about marriage, housing, and finances? In the twenty-fifth episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo address a deeply personal viewer DM from an anonymous listener ("Alice") who finds herself at a crossroads: at age 33, her 39-year-old partner wants to delay all serious milestone discussions for another three years. Rooted in the clinical research of Dr. Sue Johnson and Dr. John Gottman, the couple unpacks why avoiding future-oriented conversations sends an unspoken message of insecurity and breaks down trust. The discussion explores the "Pursuer-Distancer Dynamic”, the exhausting cycle where one partner’s urgent search for clarity causes the other to retreat, and evaluates how Singapore's unique "BTO Pressure Cooker" forces couples to make accelerated life choices.
