- Should be called the abortion hour
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.

Love this podcast for birth stories
Apple Podcasts5Melody United States4 months ago - Too scripted
Used to love listening to these but over the last year it seems like most of the “interviews” have become totally scripted/ the guests are just reading straight from prepared notes, no conversation no questions. For obvious reasons this is less engaging than the typical podcast format of a structured conversation like other birth podcasts, such as Australian Birth Stories. The most recent episode was especially glaring (Dream Uncomplicated Unmedicated Birth). This used to be my go to podcast bu... more

Australia5 months ago - Wokie woke woke woke
I used to be obsessed with this podcast and recommended it to everyone. I’m shocked how woke it’s become… she literally interviewed a woman who was very obviously in a cult and raising her kid in a “four parent household”? Like it’s okay to have boundaries and recognize when a situation is amoral. This podcast isn’t about family, it isn’t about women, it isn’t about what’s best for babies, it’s about this strange progressive ideology and worshipping that religion. So disappointing.
