LOVE listening to Australian Birth Stories. I listened to podcasts during my first pregnancy but also love listening to the birth stories during postpartum as I find this a great time to reflect & prepare for future possible pregnancy.

I’ve listened to ALLLL the birth podcasts and Sophie is by far the best interviewer/host out of all of them! She is so respectful and so interested at the same time. She has a gift of asking just the right questions and prompting the guests to tell their stories in such an interesting way!

When I was preparing to have my second baby home in Australia I had no idea what to expect so I started listening and it was such a great educational resource but also just really comforting hearing other women’s stories. I still listen 6 months post partum

A non-pregnant listener, started listening when we were thinking about trying to conceive and I’ve been OBSESSED ever since. I learned soooo much within even just a few podcasts. There is so much Australian women have to share and it is so darn helpful. Thank you Sophie.
