  • Dr Nicole is the balance you need!

    I found Dr Nicole’s podcast when pregnant with my second and man oh man do I wish I found her with my first pregnancy.

  • Pregnant “folks”

    I’ve listened to a few episodes, and while the information is great I cringe every time she uses and gender neutral term like pregnant “folks” when we all know we are pregnant women and women are the only people who can get pregnant. Unfortunately I can’t listen anymore.
