Welcome to Ready for Baby! I'm your host Gigi Vincent, a postpartum doula dedicated to evidence-based, realistic prenatal and postpartum education and support. I'm passionate about changing the way we view pregnancy and postpartum care, and my goal with this podcast is to empower and educate you while dismantling common misconceptions. Through engaging conversations and expert interviews, I aim to make evidence-based information more accessible and equitable, so you can embark on your pregnancy journey with confidence. But it doesn't end there. We'll also delve into the postpartum period, addressing the challenges and triumphs of new parents as they navigate the early days of parenthood. From newborn and infant sleep to postpartum healing, we'll cover the topics that are often glossed over elsewhere. My frustration with the abundance of incorrect or inadequate information available fuels my desire to provide realistic expectations. I want to create a supportive community where you can find a reliable source of knowledge and a safe space to connect and share your experiences. The Ready for Baby Podcast isn't just a platform for education; it's also an avenue for change. We'll highlight the need for better access to prenatal and postpartum care and advocate for improved support systems and policies, such as extended paternity leave. If you're driven to have a safe and healthy pregnancy, as well as a fulfilling postpartum experience, you're our ideal listener. We understand that the plethora of information available can be overwhelming, leading to confusion and uncertainty. That's why we address your pain points by offering clarity, guidance, and a trusted source of information to help you navigate the complexities of pregnancy and early parenthood. Join me as we learn from the experts about everything from birthing positions to feeding to holistic healing. Our insightful discussions will leave you feeling informed and empowered. The Ready for Baby podcast is here to revolutionize the way you approach pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood. It's time to feel confident, supported, and ready to embark on this incredible journey.
