  • So reassuring and helpful!

    I was told I had to have a c-section due to past medical procedures. I was terrified and devastated. I listed to every single episode of this show and my mind became very reassured. I was able to take a lot of this info to my OBGYN to ask more informed questions. I now have a healthy baby boy and have recovered from my c-section with no issues. Thank you for putting this show into the world!
