Down to Birth

by

Join Cynthia Overgard and Trisha Ludwig once per week for evidence-based straight talk on having a safe and informed birth, which starts with determining if you’ve hired the right provider. If we had to boil it down to a single premise, it’s this: A healthy mom and baby isn’t all that matters. We have more than 30 years’ experience between us in midwifery, informed rights advocacy, publishing, childbirth education, postpartum support and breastfeeding, and we’ve personally served thousands of women and couples. Listen to the birth stories of our clients, listeners and celebrities, catch our expert-interviews, and submit your questions for our monthly Q&A episodes by calling us at 802-GET-DOWN. We’re on Instagram at @downtobirthshow and also at Patreon.com/downtobirthshow, where we offer live ongoing events multiple times per month, so be sure to join our worldwide community. We are a Top .5% podcast globally with listeners in more than 80 countries every week. Become informed, empowered, and have a great time in the process. Join us and reach out any time – we love to hear from you. And as always, hear everyone, listen to yourself.
