Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Bailey Gaddis, author of Asking for a Pregnant Friend and Feng Shui Mommy.

Once you’ve listened come share your takeaways or ask your questions in your dedicated FB podcast group. 

What We Talked About

• Having someone you trust to ask all the questions you have
• Sexuality during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum
• Does your partner really have to attend the birth?
• The choices you have as a birthing person
• The difference between OB-GYN and a Midwife

Things to Remember

“Don’t judge yourself too harshly, there are going to be plenty of times where we think we got it “wrong”. But I can almost guarantee you’re doing the absolute best you can.”
