Talking to perinatal pros and new parents to inform your intuition.
Do you know why I decided to do this podcast? The short answer is YOU. You, mighty one, are the reason this podcast exists. And also because there are some really amazing and passionate birth professionals out there with tons of great information that you should know about.
Why inform?
Pregnant people get bombarded with all sorts of advice: a lot of it unsolicited, and often outdated or just plain incorrect. In Birthful, I’ll be talking with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experts to distill that information down to the relevant stuff. Think of us as your own specialized team of birth pros!
We know that pregnancy can be tough.
That being a parent can be hard.
That having a baby can be exhausting.
We hope to make it all easier, by giving you tried and tested tools that you can use. From “laid-back” nursing to safer bed-sharing, circumcision to vaginal-births-after-cesareans (VBACs), we’ll give you well-researched, evidence-based information so you can make the choices that best fit your family.
What about your intuition?
Just because we’re birth pros, it doesn’t mean that we have the perfect answers. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all Truth – with capital T. Circumstances happen. Everyone’s experience is different and you have to find the answer that best fits your particular situation. That’s where your intuition comes in. I encourage you to take the information we present and run it through your critical filters. I believe you are ultimately responsible for your body and your children, and are capable of making the choices that are right for you.
