“Had enjoyed listening to this podcast until I kept hearing politically charged ads on repeat. A pregnancy forum is a super sensitive place for this, and makes me rethink the “advice” I’m hearing on this podcast.”

“These episodes are so helpful for me while expecting. They’re also short, enjoyable and not too medical. I enjoy the factual and casual nature of this podcast!”

“All birth is natural, it’s 2023, c’mon. Stop saying “natural” when referring to birth without intervention or without medication. The correct term is “unmedicated”.”

“Not particularly informative. Very sexist/ gender-normie. The conversations are in no way substantive - and takes a very yt approach to what concerns one may have and what resources one may have available to them. I skipped around episodes and didn't hear any advice I intend on using.”Read full review »

“Some really wonderful advice in here but the common discussions about putting on “weight”, with negative undertones (for example having to break the habit of having two breakfasts - why is this a bad habit? Well done you for nourishing your body!) could be quite damaging to some people. I think...”Read full review »

“Not expecting but I enjoy learning about what it will be like with family planning. I liked the easy going conversation and variety of viewpoints. The topics were interesting but not too drawn out. Glad I listened!”

“I never made it through a full episode. First of all, it started at week 9 of pregnancy, which is 4-5 weeks after many women now find out they are pregnant. I had so many other questions ahead of this point.
Ultimately, I was completely turned off by how the women spoke - in a juvenile way?...”Read full review »

“Started listening to this podcast with high hopes. It’s not positive or uplifting, a bunch of opinionated women giving advice on how things should or shouldn’t be during pregnancy. For example: baby showers should be an all women affair? Really? What about women who’s mothers and grandmothers...”Read full review »

“Wow - these women are so annoying - highly suggest NOT listening to this podcast. There seems to be an obsession around weight (not gaining too much weight being the emphasis) and eating healthy - which I find really grating/triggering. My first trimester I was nauseous non stop and the only...”Read full review »

“When I first found this podcast, I was so excited! I thought it would be the perfect thing to listen to weekly as my pregnancy went by. I liked how they use the term partner instead of husband or wife, but often noticed that they would then refer to a partner as a “he”. Finally, I reached the...”Read full review »

“Very western medicine based (in week 24 they go on about how great epidurals are and not to be scared of them), and no balance with natural pregnancy discussions. Also many of the weeks topics are totally irrelevant/not important. Very surface level discussions.”
