Comforting and real
I struggled to find a podcast that was directed to someone in my position - starting to plan for having a baby/trying to have one. Most are about pregnancy or parenting. I’ve gotten so many tips from this and love hearing about how other regular people approach this process.
Hope they make more episodes!!
Birthing Persons?
I’m sorry but I’m out when mothers are being referred to as “birthing people,” this is disrespecting the powerful and beautiful aspects of womanhood.
Finally!!
This podcast came into life at the perfect time! It is so refreshing to listen to a couple who so closely resembles my husband and I! Thank y’all for the honest look into the TTC journey :)
