- A great pregnancy companion
“As a mum, I found this podcast invaluable. Both during my ivf process and during my pregnancies. Listening to such a wide range of birth stories gave me both reassurance and strength, and helped me prepare for my own journey with knowledge and highlighting the amount of choice we do have. There’s something so powerful in hearing these experiences shared so openly.”

As a medical student interested in O&G I’ve found this podcast really helpful in understanding the birth world from the lens of midwives and doulas and most importantly, the women!

It is important to talk about this to effect change in a historically patriarchal and paternalistic system. Sophie... more

I could be wrong I haven’t scrolled through every single episode to make sure that’s accurate. But don’t love the way this ... more
