Welcome to Season 3 of the Blessed Be Birth podcast!

Join Gabbie and Maggie as they talk about all things birth stories; the weight that they hold, when and where to share your own story, the difference of processing versus sharing, and where to find some helpful stories to prepare for your own birth.

The end to our first mini-series is here! We truly enjoyed walking through each trimester of pregnancy with you. Hopefully giving you new information to consider or just some encouragement from moms who have been there before! The last months of pregnancy are really important when it comes to making decisions and being fully informed is important. So listen along as we give you the bullet points for the third and final trimester of pregnancy!

On today's episode we're sharing all of the ridiculous things people have said to us (or the stories we've heard) while pregnant or a young mother. Laugh (or cry) along with us as we wonder why people think it's okay to just say whatever thought comes to mind when women are pregnant!

Welcome back to our mini-series! Where we're taking the time to discuss each trimester so you don't have to go in blind! We talk about what to expect physically, what's happening to your baby developmentally, and even what your appointments might look like. So send to a friend who is entering the second trimester or tune in yourself if you're ready to learn more!

There's no going back to who you used to be once you become a mother. But that doesn't mean its always easy to accept that change, even if it's inherently good. Today's episode is us chatting about how important it is to honor the person you are after motherhood while holding space for the hard parts. Grab your drink of choice and tune in as we share our hearts.
