Unfortunately this podcast is so cringe. Things that should be so normal when talking about during pregnancy- the hosts take very normal terms and situations and make them feel like they should be embarrassing to talk about. I’d love to know less about how many times one of them had sex in Vegas.

So much personal talk about their family dynamics or children and less factual or informative. I cringe at the scriptedness. They aren’t experts. And when Heidi speaks it is very slow and condescending. Would be embarrassed for someone to know I listened to this. Would not recommend.

I love this podcast! I hope that it comes out with new episodes in 2023

I stopped listening after her guest Sara Reardon said “pregnant person.” As if anyone else other that a woman can get pregnant?? We have to stop disrespecting women and sacrificing them on the alter of “WOKE.” Only women give birth!! Also this podcast is good for the type of woman who like...Read full review »

I enjoy the discussions but sometimes Emma’s mic is turned up higher. So I turn up the volume to hear her mom and then Emma comes back in and it hurts my ears.

Really thrown off by their choice in sponsorships….
preggermack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/22
Pros: because this is so scripted, the host doesn’t spend much or any time greeting her guests or beating her on the bush, so you do get pretty straightforward information. A con to this: not a very heart warming or entertaining podcast. Other cons: the information on this podcast is very much in...Read full review »

Good info- host sounds tipsy when she’s talking.

I started this podcast at 38 weeks looking for another podcast on labor and delivery, relationship, and postpartum content. I decided to ditch this one and move to something else; the ads are so bad. As soon as I heard the weight loss ad, “$9 a month you’re guaranteed to lose weight within the...Read full review »

I have learn so much with the what to expect app and this show, as this is my first pregnancy. However, sometimes the hots can get a bit political. I wish they were a bit more neutral on their policial views. Besides that, I think they provide valuable information that is helpful.

Not actually diving deep & way too many ads
Aubrey Q via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/22
I gave it a good go and listened to at least 10 episodes because I really wanted to like this podcast, but I’m calling it. The ads just killed me. There’s A LOT of them. I’m fine with ad breaks in podcasts - I mean it’s free entertainment so I get it. But this was a ton and the iHeart Radio ads...Read full review »

Heidi and Emma, hosts of the What to Expect podcast, highlight all aspects of parenting and more in this can’t miss podcast! The hosts and expert guests offer insightful advice and information that is helpful to anyone that listens!

Thank you for putting this podcast together - I’m currently 28 weeks and listening to these podcasts helps a lot 🥰

Love Heidi and the WTE app but not as impressed with the podcast. It’s sweet that they have mother and daughter perspectives but Emma doesn’t work for this podcast, in my opinion. The sex episode was awful but overall some good info.

It’s such a helpful podcast, so informative! I love the mother-daughter relationship and their own advice and stories on their own personal experiences! Heidi and Emma are so funny!

I really like this show and it has been helpful for me. Most of the info I am already aware of however sometimes the hosts have helped me see things in a different way. My only criticism is that Emma’s voice can be too too loud. Perhaps back away from the mic just a tad.
Kradford81 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/21
I enjoy listening to this podcast, but I do agree with others that there are wayyyyyy too many ads.
Lpazdhhdheue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/20
This podcast is so scripted and the tone of it is terrible. Also there podcast is probably half the time the actual podcast and the other half filled with ads. I would not recommend this at all. There are better podcasts out there with actual EXPERTS that come on and speak on things.
Indi1313 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/20
Why does Heidi speak as though she is reading a book aloud to a child? Not to mention overacting. Women, pregnant or otherwise, should not be spoken to as though we are children. The tone of this podcast is demeaning.
cynical_idealist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/20
I use the WTE app and was hoping to really love this podcast. Unfortunately, for me, that wasn’t the case. It’s extremely scripted and has WAAAAY too many ads for how short the episodes are, plus, I had such a hard time listening to Emma and the mother/daughter episode on sex was so cringeworthy...Read full review »

Emma is wayyyyyyyy too loud, sounds like she’s trying too hard and kind of annoying. Love Heidi though.
AmberMaeJ0125 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/20
I loved following the app, so I thought for sure I would also love to listen to the podcast. However, I listened to two episodes and it seems to be a platform to bring awareness to how pregnant African American women aren’t getting appropriate care. I don’t disagree that this is an issue, but it...Read full review »

Scripted, lots of ads, and outdated suggestions. Just like the book of the 80s, this is not the best resource for pregnant women out there. The “eating well” episode particularly had a nauseating amount of puns.
skierlo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
The daughter does not seem to be an expert in anything pregnancy related, some interviews with experts/doctors or even data oriented people like Emily Oster would be good.
dcwcvz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/20
I wanted to like this but it’s just a miss. It’s way too scripted, yet the content is not interesting. Also I’m sorry to say but Emma is not pleasant to listen to and I think lacks any professional qualifications. The mother daughter sex talk episode was cringy. This is not a podcast for...Read full review »
Rjf122247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/20
Although I enjoy the content of this podcast, I am disappointed in 2020 that we are still referring to moms and dads. It is quite easy to change “dad” to “second parent” or “support person”. I’d have to believe that there are plenty of queer couples who listen who cannot relate when you mention...Read full review »

Heidi and Emma are so funny and relatable, love how real they are about the not so pretty aspects of pregnancy!
foxbeinsocks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/20
I am 36 years old. 5 years ago, I delivered stillborn twin boys. When you say “motherhood is the ultimate sisterhood” you are very wrong and hurtful. I have no interest in this podcast, but I am bombarded by ads for it because I listen to a lot of iheartradio podcasts. Anyone who claims they...Read full review »

I’m so glad that there is now a What to Expect podcast. Although my son is two now, I wish this podcast was available when I was pregnant and in the first year post partum. I am just listening to the episode about Baby Blues and PPD. This is a topic that is not covered enough in media outlets and...Read full review »
sexiSrivera via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/20
A LOT of ads play before and during the episodes; more than the other podcasts I follow. I wish they could cut a few of them because I find it pretty annoying. Otherwise, I think the information is great.
EFrannieB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/20
It’s my first pregnancy and am loving this podcast! While I have ordered some of the pregnancy books, I find I don’t always have the time to sit down and read and this podcast delivers so much helpful information that I would find in the books. Such a fun and positive listen, I am thoroughly...Read full review »

You are just like true romance, spamming my shows as a kid and also not a girl it is a nuisance as i have to listen to you cr*ping on every ad break
