After seven incredible years of sharing stories, wisdom, and support around pregnancy and parenthood, this is my final episode... for now. It's a moment of both celebration as we wrap up this chapter of The Pregnancy to Parening Show.

From heartfelt interviews with experts to the real, raw conversations with fellow parents, The Pegnancy to Parenting Show has been a labor of love, and I'm beyond grateful for every listener, guest, and supporter who's been part of this adventure. As I transition my content, I share my why and hope you will join me on my website.

From my years of doula work and creating free content, I am creating a one stop shop on my website:

www.elizabehjoy.co

All of the podcast episodes will be organize here along with blogs, free education, resources and my Birth Plan Prep Course. Make sure to subscribe to my email list to stay in the loop on all the exciting things to come!

While this is the last episode, the conversations we've started will continue to resonate, and I hope you carry them with you. Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey.

Liz really wants a home birth if they go for baby number 4 and Vito is not on board. They invite Tiffany Alblinger from Beautiful One Midwifery to come on the podcast and answer all of Vito's questions.

Vito asks Tiffany all about safety, transfers,things they bring to the birth and more. Will Vito get on board or does he need more convincing?

Tiffany is a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). She and her parter, Kelley, started Beautiful One Midwifery in 2018 from a dream they had to offer services to San Diego that made homebirth accessible, woman-led and a normal family experience.

Meagan Heaton is the co-founded the VBAC Link in 2018. She really found her love for birth in 2014 after her second C-Section, and since has supported over 300 couples as a birth doula. Meagan's passion for VBAC started after her own experiences. She had two C-sections and then went on to have a VBA2C. Her drive is to help women like herself feel educated, supported, and empowered during their birthing time.

We dive into this episode the research, statictics and facts about vaginal and cesarean births. The pros and cons of VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and what your providers may not be telling you. We also talk about the arrive trial which has increased the cesarean rate in first time moms.

Have you ever wondered what to look for in a prenatal? Ryan Woodbury is the cofounder of Needed, an amazing company that is changing the prenatal game. She answers all of your questions this episode about what to look for in a prenatal, what to avoid, and what to add in supplementation.
Through navigating her fertility and nutrition journey, she realized most prenatal nutrition information and products fall far short of empowering real nourishment for mamas-to-be. Needed empowers women to meet their biochemical nutritional needs, and to find nourishment beyond nutrition through better products, better identification of nutrition needs, education and community to support nourishment beyond nutritional needs alone.
