Navigating through pregnancy and planning for birth

It was shortly (but not soon enough) after becoming pregnant that I found this podcast, as I was scouring the internet. So much great contact with relevant information new moms need and/or want. Definitely recommend and highly suggest listing to the hot topics they cover. This podcast is “decline-phone-calls while-driving worthy!! 🙂

Everyone preparing for a new born needs to listen to this!

Every parent should listen to this series when preparing for a new born. My wife and I are preparing for our first baby and are so grateful for this podcast. Ciarra and Samantha are so thoughtful and helpful! All the episodes are helpful but really loved “Dude you need a doula”. Every partner should listen to dude you need a doula. Wow what a tough birth Natalie had! Jordan sounds awesome and your post visit story resonated a lot for me on some family trauma I have been stuck on. Thank you so much for this podcast 🙂
