Birth Story Podcast

I listened to Heidi’s podcast leading up to my 5th baby and COMPLETELY credit my amazing birth experience to this podcast, her stories, her advice etc. As a mama who had already been through this several times I STILL learned so, so much about labor, delivery, pregnancy, and beyond. I felt so strong and empowered with my last birth, was able to go into labor on my own (I’d always been induced previously), and had a beautiful, un medicated birth which would not have been possible without you and this podcast. I LITERALLY heard your voice in my head right as I was pushing, so you must have really worked your way into my head and heart! I cannot thank Heidi and Birth Story Podcast enough. As a nurse and mama of 5, she gets all my praise for what she does and how she helps so many.

I’m due with my third baby in a few weeks and have listened to Heidi’s podcast leading up to all three births. I love her sensitivity to the people around her and the passion she has for her career. My first two were textbook pregnancies and births, but was surprised this time around with a diagnoses of cholestasis… listening to the stories women share about the somewhat unwelcome challenges they’ve experienced is helping me cope and prepare for an induction at 36 weeks that I desperately wish I could delay. Love the work, the women, and the raw stories this podcast offers♥️.

I love this podcast so much that I impatiently wait for new episodes to drop every week! Started listening to podcasts when I was pregnant with my second. I wanted less drama/trauma and more voice in my second birth experience and listening to these podcast episodes helped me do just that. Even more than the physical tips, I learned how to be a confident advocate for myself and my baby. I’m currently pregnant with my third and am going back to listen to old episodes. They help me to know that whatever happens with my birth, I’m probably not the only one and I can learn from other people's stories and experiences. Thank you Heidi, for your wonderful, calm interview style mixed with nuggets of wisdom for us to learn and grow!

I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast. The host seems kind, informative and relatable. However she refers to mothers as “birthing persons” so that’s a hard no for me. Only women have babies and become mothers in the process. We are not “birthing persons.”
