I am 17 weeks pregnant with my first and this podcast is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. It’s so hard to know what to trust and which ones are worth your time but as soon as I listened to the first episode I KNEW this is what I’ve been looking for.
The first one I listened to was one about Unmedicated Birth and it made me SO EXCITED. I already feel more empowered and ready to ask the right questions and figure out what’s best for me after one 50 minute episode!
I look forward to my walks and down time 100x more now specifically because of this podcast.
THANK YOU!!!
Breach Birth
Excellent Information!!! I had a at-home breach birth with my first (only 6 hr), and I was expecting some of the normal “pushing” feelings everyone talks about and was a little confused and very exhausted by the end. Everything worked out and the midwife was extremely skilled - and our baby was born safely into our home.
It was very reassuring and empowering (again) to listed more of the technical details of how the breach birth works. Thank you for sharing all of the information you do!! Keep up the great work!
Heteronormative and unrelatable as queer parent
I started listening to “The Episode Your Birth Partner NEEDS to Hear…”, and despite the title making it seem inclusive, “mom” and “dad” were used exclusively so much in the first 5 minutes I didn’t want to continue. If you don’t acknowledge the existence of queer people, then queer people won’t listen to you.
