I have been listening to the birth hour for 8 years. It is a valuable resource and an enjoyable listen. Bryn does such a good job of presenting stories with all kinds of births. The know your options childbirth course was the perfect next step when we got pregnant with our first baby. After I had my twins I got to share my own birth stories on the podcast, which was a literal dream come true.
I highly recommend this to anyone who is considering becoming a parent!
I am pregnant with my first baby and have been loving this podcast as an excellent resource to learn the many different ways that labor and post partum can unfold. I also loved the episode from June 9, 2026 - Michelle is now a midwife and has been caring for me with the Centering Pregnancy model of care! Loved hearing her story and so many others.
For how many stories include women considering or carrying out killing their babies, there should be a trigger warning. Also stories of women who are choosing to deny their child access to their biological father because of their own preferences and desires. Unfortunately there is a lot of woke garbage in this show and you have to weed it out to find the good stories.
