- Used to listen.
I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with baby number 4. I used to teach child birth ed, was a doula, and I currently work as a firefighter paramedic. I will say I have a handle on anatomy and biology for the most part. That being said, if I’m listening to a podcast, and hear a person refer to a PREGNANT MOTHER as a “BIRTHING PERSON” while all in the same breath stating that said “BIRTHING PERSON’S” perineam resides between the VAGINA AND THE RECTUM, I have to stop listening.

While I appreciate the inclusion of personal stories and social justice in birth related content, I value the EBB episodes that focus on clinical evidence the most. EBB provides excellent research based information for clinicians and healthcare consumers. I find that when an episode is dedicated to people’s stories, their experience can mislead listeners from a medical standpoint. Someone’s personal story is not necessarily medically accurate. For example, people who say because they had an IVF ... more

As a childbirth educator, EBB is one of my go-to resources when I need to refresh and check I have the latest research evidence on a variety of topics. Great for anyone interested in data for informed decision making.
Apple Podcasts5spid3ygirlUnited States2 months ago - My go to resource
As a doula, childbirth educator, and perinatal patient advocate, this is my go-to resource. It helps me learn and decipher the evidence on a wide variety of topics and it is also helpful to share with my clients and students. Highly recommend following this podcast and searching through the tremendous archive of past episodes.
Apple Podcasts5RachHutchinsUnited States3 months ago - Denies biology
I don’t want to listen to a podcast that refers to women as birthing people. The staff also lists their pronouns on the website, so it’s hard to take any of them seriously.
