Tell me about your pregnancy!

August 10, 2015 9:55 AM

I'm looking for podcasts that have in-depth, first person accounts of pregnancy and childbirth.

I’ve watched or listened to The Business of Being Born, Radiolab’s 23 Weeks 6 Days, and Sawbones: Our Birth Story many times over. What else might I be interested in? I prefer podcasts, just for the convenience of being able to listen at work, but would welcome any TV/movie recommendations you may have to offer.

One Bad Mother and Longest Shortest Time both have some episodes specifically about childbirth (and both hosts of OBM got pregnant and gave birth in the course of the show ~1.5 years ago).

Pregtastic hasn't been updated for a while but the archives are awesome.

My wife really enjoys Totally Mommy.

The creators of Totally Mommy, talked about their first child's birth on the episode A Tale of Two Cheeks.

This would be a good question to ask on one of the subreddits about pregnancy (BabyBumps, cautiousBB, predaddit). Also, lots of birth stories get shared there.
