When Heidi Murkoff wrote the book ‘What To Expect When You’re Expecting’, she was pregnant with her daughter Emma. Her mission was simple: to help parents know what to expect, every step of the way. That mission has grown to include the world's bestselling pregnancy and parenting series and most popular pregnancy and parenting app. Now, Emma is a mom too—and they’re teaming up on the ‘What To Expe... more

I really enjoyed reading the hosts book so I came to check out her podcast, but it ended up being a personal discussion between a mother and daughter that no one wants to hear. Its very cringey when the daughter speaks, really don’t want to hear it.
Alot of awesome options out there for pregnancy podcasts
Unfortunately this podcast is so cringe. Things that should be so normal when talking about during pregnancy- the hosts take very normal terms and situations and make them feel like they should be embarrassing to talk about. I’d love to know less about how many times one of them had sex in Vegas.
So much personal talk about their family dynamics or children and less factual or informative. I cringe at the scriptedness. They aren’t experts. And when Heidi speaks it is very slow and condescending. Would be embarrassed for someone to know I listened to this. Would not recommend.
I love this podcast! I hope that it comes out with new episodes in 2023
I stopped listening after her guest Sara Reardon said “pregnant person.” As if anyone else other that a woman can get pregnant?? We have to stop disrespecting women and sacrificing them on the alter of “WOKE.” Only women give birth!!
Also this podcast is good for the type of woman who like daytime talk shows. It has the same tone.
