Customer Reviews
Folic acid ?
Please stop advertising folic acid .. we need to be preaching methylated folate . Come on ladies !
Waste of time
Yak yak yak. A lot of talking without saying anything of value. I tried 2 episodes, one on the Bradley Method and another on a different birthing method, I cannot remember the name…They were basically advertisements for the methods without actually explaining how to do them.
My holy grail pregnancy guide!
I’m a young first time mom, navigating my pregnancy journey. I lost my mom to breast cancer 2 months before finding out I was pregnant and I honestly look up to all the ladies on the show for questions I would have asked my mom. I love the variety of panelists and experts, as well as the great tips and advice! I recommend all of New Mommy Media’s podcasts!
