This was the most helpful resource for me when I was pregnant and preparing for birth. My husband and I would listen to the birth stories together and it was a great way to facilitate discussion around decisions we might have to make. Dr. Nicole is SO great at explaining things in an accessible way. Cannot recommend this podcast enough! ❤️
So much good, easily digestible information here. Dr Rankins explains many pregnancy topics with ease and poise. I’ve learned so much already and just started listening to her episodes last week. Thank you, Dr Rankins!
Always excellent information delivered in an approachable way.

This podcast in my opinion is the most informative and unbiased on this platform for learning about all things pregnancy and birth related. I always recommend this to anyone I know who is expecting.
