Customer Reviews
My Favorite Podcast!
I love hearing the broad selection of births - you can find anything you want - medicated, unmedicated, vaginal, cesarean, hospital, home, etc.
I had some issues with my blood pressure during the end of my pregnancy, so I just got on the website and search terms related and was able to listen to so many other women who had had similar experiences, which was so comforting and gave me lots of ideas for taking care of myself.
Amazing Podcast
I recommond this podcast to all my pregnang friends and friends who want to be pregnant some day or are facinated with birth. Honestly, listening to all of these women's stories made me more prepared for pregnancy and delivery than any class. The editing is great. LOVE IT!
Beautiful Community
I love birth stories and the variation in these is so beautiful! I’m fascinated by birth education in general and this is a great way to learn from many different women in one place. Thank you, Bryn, for hosting so well! ❤️
