This podcast was so helpful in achieving my goal to have a physiological, medication-free second birth after a highly medicalised first birth (induction-epidural-forceps delivery). In week 39 of my pregnancy I had some bleeding and went in for monitoring. The doctors at the...”Read full review »

“Great podcast, super informative, evidence based conversations about all things pregnancy and birth. Although it’s painful the amount of times B talks over Mel. Super frustrating but I persevere as the information Mel has is great”

“No. This podcast, disguising as pro birth, is trying to erase women by using terms like people with penises/people with vaginas within the first couple of minutes of the episode about shoulder dystocia. No. You lost me forever. Women give birth, men don’t. You know it, we know it. What a...”Read full review »
