Customer Reviews
LOVE this podcast!!
Wow! I love this podcast! I am getting ready to have my first child, and growing up I didn’t have the opportunity to hear a lot of positive, helpful information about birth. I feel like this podcast is helping to fill in that gap by helping me feel confident and mentally prepare for the birth of my son.
Relatable and positive
Cannot wait to hear more from this pro.
