I’m not aware of any podcasts that fit this description! I’m sure they’re out there so hopefully someone will know!
The only podcast I have ever listened to is the Nateland podcast and it is really funny but not about birth at all. I know that’s not probably not helpful!
I started The Birth Hour yesterday and so far it seems pretty good. The only thing I wish is that she talked more about the things that happen after the baby comes out like delivery of the placenta and stitching up.
Hi! I've been wondering the same during my two previous pregnancies. I found most either to technical / medical or too hippie (if that makes sense?). Hence, I've decided to start my own haha. It's only 3 weeks old , with new episodes coming every Friday. The format is of two women sharing completely raw and openly their experience of pregnancy and birth. Imagine a quiet night on your sofa, the kids are asleep and you are listening to two slightly tipsy (although there is of course no alcohol involved in the recording of these episodes!) best friends just baring it all. I hope you find it informative but also entertaining and deeply relatable. It's called "9+9 The Honest Pregnancy and Birthing Podcast" and can be found on YouTube and all major podcasting platforms. <3
I definitely second the Birth Hour podcast!! It’s hits all of your criteria for birth stories. And I recommend Down to Birth for informative and insightful discussion.
Informed Pregnancy Podcast might be worth checking out. It’s got a nice mix of real stories and expert chats. I’ve learned a lot without feeling judged or pushed into a certain mindset.
