Own Your Birth Experience

Show notes

Congrats, you're pregnant! Now what? Welcome to Birth with Babylist, where we answer all the questions that are keeping you up at night.

In our first episode, we walk through what birth actually looks like, from early labor through delivery. We talk to experienced OB-GYNs and midwives as they break down the stages of labor, what’s normal, what’s unpredictable and what you can prepare for.

And because no two births are the same, real parents share what it was really like for them.

Hosted by journalist, author and mom of three Jo Piazza. New episodes every Thursday.

Featuring Dr. Laura Hanks, MD (@drhanks_at_ur_cervix) and Victoria Dean CPM, LM (@refugemidwifery)
