    If you’re looking for a podcast that will educate you about all things birth and quiet any fear surrounding birth, this is it! I listened to this podcast almost daily during my two pregnancies and it helped empower me and prepare my mind for what were two beautiful, power, and amazing unmediated hospital births. I contribute much of my mental preparedness and confidence to the things I learned and the birth stories I heard on this podcast. This was the only birth podcast I listened to during pre... more

  • Literally THE BEST Resource

    I’m 26 and not pregnant yet, but my husband and I are starting to prepare because we hope to begin growing our family soon. For years, I’ve been terrified of pregnancy and birth because of all the horror stories I’d heard, along with my own experiences in the medical field where it often felt like providers didn’t truly listen, educate, or care about what patients were going through.

    In 2023, one of my friends gave birth with a midwife at a birthing center and absolutely raved about her experie... more

  • Great Resource!

    I started listening after the birth of my first baby (I wish I had found it before I got pregnant the first time) and now that I am pregnant with my second, I am still finding so much value in the information presented. Highly recommend!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Birth Story: Unmedicated, Hospital Birth with Sally Steffy
Q: Talk to me a little bit about your providers and where you gave birth.
She explains initially planning around insurance with an OB-GYN who supported hospital protocols but not her natural birth goals, choosing hospital birth over a birth center due to cost, and the desire to avoid unnecessary interventions.
Birth Story: Unmedicated, Hospital Birth with Sally Steffy
Q: All right, jump me into the birth. Talk to me from that first contraction all the way through.
The guest describes recognizing the seriousness of labor, dealing with back labor, using the shower for relief, and the quick progression to delivery with a short pushing phase, followed by tearing and initial postpartum considerations.
Tongue Ties, Breastfeeding & Baby Development: Everything You Need to Know with Michelle Emanuel
Q: What is a tongue tie and why does it matter for feeding?
A tongue tie is an embryologic tissue restriction that limits tongue mobility, which can impact how effectively a baby latches, feeds, and breathes. The exact effects vary by severity, and management should focus on functional outcomes and, if needed, a multidisciplinary approach rather than assuming every case needs release.
Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Q: What practical steps can someone take now if they are trying to conceive?
Stabilize blood sugar with a robust breakfast, start seed cycling, begin a high-quality prenatal with an antioxidant, and run baseline blood work to assess vitamin D, B12, lipids, and cycle-day hormones; involve partner testing for sperm as part of the planning.
Eating for Your Cycle, Gut Health & Fertility with Nora DeBora
Q: Why are gut health and the microbiome important for fertility?
Gut health affects nutrient absorption, estrogen metabolism, and systemic inflammation; a healthy microbiome supports hormone balance and can influence egg quality and implantation, making stool tests and microbiome analyses valuable in fertility work.
