“I love this podcast so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. So many times have I experienced a symptom that I didn’t know was a pregnancy symptom until I listened to the podcast that week. I have felt so validated through my first pregnancy, like I have cute English friends helping me...”Read full review »

“This podcast has been such a lovely companion throughout my first pregnancy. Some of the information about the healthcare system is different since I live in the U.S., but I found each episode to be so helpful. I appreciated hearing from so many experts and the lighthearted approach to each topic.”

“Uses the term ‘birthing person’ which contributes to the eradication of women”

“I was really excited when I came to this poscast and saw specific weeks of pregnancy.. 18-20 and speaking of mental health. Beginning ad is weight loss and losing those stubborn pounds? Didn’t want to listen to the episode as I was so turned off.”

“Birthing person is one of the most offensive terms. Only women can give birth. Hearing professionals and experts saying birthing person is so off putting. I wanted to like this podcast, I thought it was interesting hearing about each week, but I can’t support any show that says birthing person.”

“I can’t listen to podcasts where they refer to a pregnant woman as a “ birthing person.” If you cannot even acknowledge the basic biological fact that only women give birth, then how can I take anything that you say seriously? You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“This in theory is very informative. However, shame on Jesse for going along with gender ideology nonsense and referring to women as “birthing person”. Luckily the majority of guests don’t follow this woke ideology.
Only women can get pregnant
Only women can breastfeed
Only women have a cervix...”Read full review »
