This lady is obnoxious and her opinions take a Karen approach to birth plan. How they know better than the doctor and she could “fire him” at any moment of they don’t comply with her requests. I didn’t learn anything, what a waste of an hour. I came with an open mind hoping to learn useful...Read full review »

It’s okay, I was hoping for so much better. I came on this accidentally and listen to one episode and it was amazing. It’s discussed research and evidence that were found. And linked it back to childhood development. I’ve tried 3 more episodes and I hated it. It way too much about god and...Read full review »

Really good podcast But was surprised she mentioned recommendations about not getting vaccines or not taking prenatal vitamins. Some dangerous ideas.
Xysjoem via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/24
I discovered this podcast soon after it launched as another podcast I listen to, one of the hosts is friends with Laila, mentioned this podcast. I am SO glad I stumbled upon Learning to Mom. Laila is open, honest, covers so many ways of how and where your baby could be born, how to prep, things...Read full review »

Karley2024 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/24
I found this pod cast when I was 10 weeks pregnant, currently 25. I LOVE LOVE LOVE listening every Monday morning in my drive to work. Although I am a nurse there is so much more to educate myself on. Not only does Laila share her experience but has so many experts to share informative insights...Read full review »
Ya<3ya21 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/24
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was searching for podcasts that were easy to listen to and were informative. This one takes the cake. I love the range of people that Laila brings on the show, and that she still includes personal anecdotes in the discussion. She (and her guests!) answers...Read full review »

I knew Laila before she started the podcast and she was the person I turned to with all of my first time mom questions, since I really didn’t know anyone else who had had a baby before me! I even called her immediately postpartum to ask some VERY personal questions. She has always been willing to...Read full review »

I started listening to this podcast to prepare before even getting pregnant. I have been taking notes on this podcast for months and there is something to take away from each and every episode, no matter your beliefs or background. This podcast has lessened my anxiety when it comes to pregnancy,...Read full review »
Kaylyn Dillon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/24
Someone sharing their own experience is what I look for in birth videos, birth stories, advice articles, etc because they are automatically going to be more helpful than someone who is generalizing a thousand experiences and giving a 30,000 foot view. The questions Laila asks are questions that...Read full review »
Courtney13cs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/24
The host is amiable and sweet but she has no credentials other than her own experience. She brings religion up a lot and “woo woo” practitioners on to discuss scientifically unsound ideas and recommendations. I had to stop once she brought up Joe Rogan.
Dr.Pepper.V via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/24
This podcast is great for any first time moms! Laila is your mom friend but she keeps it positive but also truly honest. Glad to have this resource when moving around the world!

I found out I was pregnant in Feb 2024. It was a surprise pregnancy and being a first time mom I felt like I knew nothing.

Laila has created a podcast, platform, and support network for not just first time Moms, but all Moms! She started this podcast about a month after my first child was born.

kik123450 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/24/24
Hi Laila, I started searching for pregnancy and birth podcasts when I found out I was pregnant. So many just didn’t entice me enough to listen to the whole episode as it was hard to connect with the host and/or material presented. From the first episode I listened to (How to prepare your dog for...Read full review »

LOVE this podcast. While I’m not a mom yet, I work at a pregnancy center. It’s been challenging to connect with clients due to my inexperience.

My husband and I are going to start trying for our first baby here in a few months. I'm not really much of a podcast person but I figured I should try and find one with good info since neither one of us know what we are doing. LET ME TELL YOU This is the only one you need.

I’m a first time mom at 39 yrs old. As much as I’d been around so many friends through their births from home births to hospital births to c sections.

Bddnhdsaxc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/24
LOVE Laila’s take on all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum – her episode "17 things no one tells you about postpartum beforehand" is informative, thorough, and well worth a listen - knowledge is power and I'd rather be prepared for all the possibilities! If you’re looking for a...Read full review »

Learning to Mom is my go-to podcast. It’s so easy to listen to &amp; Laila has such a down to earth vibe. So much info on social media Is saturated with pushing home births, etc. I love that Laila touches on all different options but focuses plenty on the hospital birth way of things.
1stBabeBoyorGirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/09/24
Saying this podcast is amazing is simply an understatement. As a new soon to be mother I wanted to educate myself on all things pregnancy &amp; childbirth. This podcast has helped me immensely!

I found out I was pregnant with my first baby around the end of September. I had no idea what I was doing and I am the first of my friends to experience pregnancy.

First time preggo. It’s been less than a week and I’ve listened to almost all her episodes.

EmBerry125 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/23
Not all women are thrilled to learn they are pregnant - “congratulations” is not always the proper response. I am thrilled to be pregnant however if I received this news 15 years ago I would feel quite different.
