About
Are you fascinated by all the parenting, pregnancy, and childbirth stuff few people talk about because they’re too embarrassed? If so, welcome to the motherload of all things taboo, wild and super interesting.
The Asking for a Pregnant Friend podcast is based off the book of the same name and dives into all the parenting, pregnancy, and birthing topics that make many people blush, or scratch their heads.
My hope is that every time you listen you’re relieved to find information about one of the questions you didn’t think other people had, feel more connected to the worldwide community of soon-to-be parents and new parents, and find peace as you become informed about the aspects of your journey most shy away from.
This is like the modern day Dear Abbey for pregnant people and new parents, or just curious people, who want to get straight, yet loving, answers to the parenting, pregnancy, and childbirth questions they’re too afraid to ask.
Many of the episodes are intentionally short so you can listen to the full shebang on the way to a prenatal appointment, or coming home from dropping the kids off at school.
New episodes every Tuesday and Thursday.
