“This show is one of the most important things a woman can do for her birth into motherhood. For her physical birth, yes, but so much more than that. The many topics covered on this show can serve as a voice that drowns out the loud narrative telling you “birth is horrible, painful, impossible”....”Read full review »

“The hosts were leading the guest, trying to get him to say that Pediatricians make more money on shots. If you’re going to lead a question like a journalist, at least be sure you’re right. And to be fair, the medical system is a bit corrupt but it seemed unnecessary to keep pressing to make...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast at about 20 weeks with my second and knew I desperately wanted a VBAC but wasn’t sure it would happen. They were talking about how important your provider is to your experience, and it inspired me to leave my OB, hire a midwife and start planning a home birth. I listened to...”Read full review »

“Thank you for giving back the power to women to make their own educated decisions around their births. I was told my baby had IUGR with only one ultrasound on my third trimester. Because of this podcast I now t have the tools to defend my case and ask for more time and more data on this diagnosis.”
