So informative and interesting, I work at an NHS library and have always been interested in the science and culture or pregnancy childbirth and postnatal, I am learning so much from your podcast. Your presenting is really calming and approachable.

I enjoy some of these podcast episodes but I was really hopeful the labor pause ep would be directed more towards mothers, or periodically. It’s important for us too to understand how to better redirect our focus and comfortability. How do we get past the uncomfortable, the pauses, how do we...Read full review »

Katie and Rachel were my trusted companions during my long journeys to and from my placement for 3 years. The nuggety-nuggets have been invaluable and I don’t think I could have seen this through without you. Now half way through my preceptorship, I still turn to you and it gives me hope while...Read full review »

thank you for all your hard work and humour .
zacollie via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/06/24
This episode was extremely helpful and informative . here in the US so many moms get home from a hospital birth with absolutely no resources to lactation consultant. If they even knew about nipple shields, it could get them through until they could find someone. When I teach couples prenatally, I...Read full review »

I started listening when I was pregnant with my 2nd and am still listening because it’s fascinating and the hosts are real and funny. If you are interested in getting balanced and honest information about birth you should listen to this!

Came across Rachel Reed’s book and then was guided to this amazing podcast. Thank you both so much for the incredible content. I feel so much more empowered than I did before.

This my absolute favorite midwifery podcast! As a midwifery student and (pregnant) mom of littles, this is my favorite place to come to get in touch with the latest research, and hear about what is happening with birth work around the world!
FertileFern via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/24
Thank you so much! This made me feel so much better… it’s not my fault I’m not doing anything wrong! That in itself feels better than any medication I’ve been prescribed thus far! I needed to hear this Pod more than anything else this year 🤞🏽it won’t be long until a cure/ prevention is made
BenaBerry via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/17/24
Great insight into the vast information needed to be a midwife, being a student mid way through my degree I find it very helpful and informative.

If you even have one curious little toe in the world of birth, lactation or becoming a parent, this podcast is The One.

Wonderful podcast thank you ladies for making us think. Standing transfers in skin to skin, a game changer. The partner can do this from the start, Mums may need to be evaluated as to their ability to move some will be better than others.

Thank you Katie and Rachel for the wealth of information you’ve shared on this podcast.

Love this podcast, love the ladies and what they bring to us each episode. It simplifies so much crooked information that is out there these days and gives so much info to us for free! Very lucky to have this resource over my pregnancy and birth/ postpartum

After 18 years as a midwife in large California HMO, I have reached a new level of dissatisfaction with the status quo of maternity care in the US. This podcast not only names the many areas of moral injury for midwives but it does it in a kind, funny and compassionate way. We are going to use...Read full review »

We are currently listening to S1E5 and we reached the part about women being unable to birth in water in some place, with some places even not allowing women in the shower. My two children (daughter 9, and son 7) are sitting at our kitchen bench listening with me while I prep dinner, & both...Read full review »

You are changing the lives of women and their babies with this podcast. Filled with wisdom and reminding women just how powerful they are. Reclaiming birth as ours - it does not belong to the patriarchy or the medical system. Thank you Rachel and Katie. You are both the women we need now.
Jessica Stoneman via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/09/23
I cannot recommend enough, or be more grateful for this podcast. The wisdom, humour, and guidance is so essential for our entire world. If we can get birth right we can get the world right. These conversations are massively impacting our ability to do that. Thank you. Thank you a million Katie...Read full review »

Listening as a non health care professional who is pregnant with baby no 2 and birth is approaching in the next 2 months ish and with my first baby I 100% felt that sense of a time pressure during my Labour.
