“Most of us got through child bearing and rearing without having to listen to a 30 year old behaving like she’s the first person to ever do it. It’s basically a Huggies ad.”

“They LITERALLY recommend watching Call the Midwife and One Born Every Minute as realistic birth preparation! These shows have women on their backs screeching in high stress situations for entertainment purposes not education.. so far from what normal or healthy birth looks like and will just make...”Read full review »

“Hi!
I love this pod, it’s great!
I’m pregnant and listened to the Bec Judd season all too quick early in my pregnancy.
There were bits I was hoping to revisit now that I’m further along, especially when she had Dr’s and Midwife Kat on.
Where did those episodes go?!

“I’m 12 weeks pregnant and when I first found out I was pregnant I started listening to hello bump season 1 and I loved it so much, it felt personable and had so much information on how I would feel and what should I know.

“I usually love Mumma Mia podcasts, and I usually love Jessie Stephens take on things on Out Loud, so I’m kind of baffled as to how much this podcast is missing the mark. The majority of women aren’t being represented in the discussion. Most people can’t afford private health care, a massage a...”Read full review »

“However please to any HG mums disregard what Martha said about HG not being genetic, it is and that was discovered a few years ago. There is also a 80% chance of it reoccurring. I’ve had it twice and it’s F***ed. hope for the best but prepare for the worst.”

“Entertaining but really disempowering. I still remember, when I was in transition, screaming for an epidural because it was so normalised and I’d heard here you can get it till basically the end. Then the cascade of interventions started. I’ll listen elsewhere next time.”

“These ladies meant well. There are plenty of good laughs to be had throughout this podcast, but it is SO hetero-normative and from a position of INCREDIBLE privilege. Made me a little sad to only hear the one VERY narrow perspective. Also, lesbians, trans men and non-binary folk have babies too. 😱”
