Customer Reviews
Fabulously informative!
Have been loving listening to the podcast. Feels like I have a personal / private OBGYN in my pocket whilst navigating the public system. I feel informed making decisions!
Recent Q&A Episode
Dr Moloney’s explanation of the cascade of interventions was woeful. An epidural definitely starts a domino effect of interventions and speeding up labour is not a good reason to have an epidural. This is precisely the problem with hospital births. I hope the listener seeks some alternative advice as this was a classic obstetrician response. Pretty disappointing as other episodes have been informative.
Knowledge is empowering
Such a good podcast!! Love listening to Dr Pat and Brigid, they share so much valuable information that all pregnant women and their partners should hear. After listening to episode 3, I had the generic screening test done and was identified as a carrier of cystic fibrosis I shared this information with my six siblings and all my cousins all of child bearing years. They can now make empowered decisions around family planning. Thank you so much for your time and knowledge - knowledge is empowering!
