Guests are sometimes ridiculous but still like Dr. Berlin

I do really like this podcast because Dr. Berlin has a gentle demeanor and asks a lot of interesting questions. However, some of the guests are just so self absorbed, it’s cringy to listen to. Women who hire videographers AND photographers (for first time home births…. girl, this is not your wedding). It does always make me chuckle because the guests who are the most extra always end up medicated at the hospital after laboring at home in pain for 24 hours unnecessarily. I’m not sure why so many of these women put so much pressure on these ridiculous birth plans so they can be as “natural” and “pure” and “manifesting” as possible. Anyway, lots of eye rolls, but 4 stars because I can’t stop listening even though many guests are living on another planet.

“Fertility journey”

A note for future episodes - some of us have really struggled with infertility, recurrent miscarriage, etc and saying a guest will be discussing her “fertility journey” when the episode states that she got pregnant on the first try is just unnecessary.

Awesome information and guests!

Listened to episode “Michele Maturo-After”. Love the intro! Very lively and upbeat. Great interview with Michele. Enjoyed hearing from her experience.

What a champion that she was able to go through that experience. I can only imagine the trials that she was tasked with.

Great guests and great questions. Enjoy your interviewing style. Recommend this podcast to any expecting parents or people who want to learn about informed pregnancy.
