- I recommend this show ALL the time!
As a birth doula, I am hoping every one of my clients and family members will take my suggestion and listen to Down to Birth. Cynthia and Trisha have helped me prepare for my own home birth, learn about my body, succeed in breastfeeding, laugh on crazy days, prepare and educate myself as a doula, opened many conversations with fellow birth workers, provide be with evidence based research, and empowered me as a woman and mother. I am forever grateful. I found my mind expanded and my confidence st... more

United States2 months ago - Fantastic resource for pregnant women!
This podcast is one of the richest resources for all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and lactation. During my recent pregnancy I found it to be tremendously helpful and informative. I started by listening to all the Q&A episodes, because as a first time mom, I didn’t know what I didn’t know, and I didn’t know which things to look into. I then went on to listen to episodes with various experts. I found this really helpful as I was then able to branch out and read books and articles written b... more

The holy grail of birth podcasts. Easy to understand, evidence-based information shared in a relatable and thought provoking way. My absolute favorite podcast of any genre. I credit the information shared with my positive birth despite a 34w induction due to sudden and severe preeclampsia.
Apple Podcasts5BirthwithlivUnited States2 months ago - A podcast that will give you information and strength!
There was so much I gathered from your show and it gave me strength going into my second birth. I can proudly say I just birthed my second baby without one medical intervention at the hospital and it was so empowering and healed some of the trauma from my last experience. I credit this show with helping me feel prepared and empowered for this experience. Thank you, ladies!

I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and thankfully your podcast has empowered me and taught me to advocate for myself. I had to fire my OB after she told me that she will induce me at 38 weeks due to me being 41 and she never asking what my birth plan was. So after my plans for a midwife transfer fell through I let her know I originally wanted a home birth she stated “ your baby will most likely die with a home birth”. I was appalled and so happy I had facts to back up all my choices to my planned n... more
