“Don’t get me wrong, I have gleaned a lot of knowledge and wisdom from this podcast over the years. It really helped me prepare for a natural birth in the hospital with my first baby. Now that I’m listening to it in 2024 while I’m pregnant with my second baby, I cannot get passed the language...”Read full review »

“It’s incredibly hard to listen to a podcast where pronouns are shoved down your throat, and references to “birthing person” occurs incredibly often. If you can’t recognize that men cannot get pregnant, there are only two genders, I’m not sure how reputable your research and reporting abilities...”Read full review »

“Started listening and after a one episode could not take the use of language. Chest feeding??? Breast milk comes from breasts, there isn’t a study out there that changes that fact.”

“They are good at breaking down and explaining studies but it’s ironic they don’t know only women get pregnant given they’re all about the “evidence”. It’s an immediate no for me when I hear “pregnant people” over and over.”

“By using politically triggering words like “birthing people”, you make “mothers” feel like a bad word. Considering that 99.9% of anyone who’s given birth is a mother, you are excluding everyone to make who happy? WHO is your audience?”

“Evidence based birth would show that ONLY BIOLOGICAL WOMEN CAN GIVE BIRTH AND BREAST FEED.

“Chest feeding” does not exist and neither does birthing “person”.

You are exclusive not inclusive....”Read full review »
