Birthday Announcement! - Beyond the Boob
Join us today for a birth announcement! Baby arrived just after 39 weeks and we made a special little birthday recording just for you.If this is your first time listening, here’s a recap. Beyond the Boob is a spin-off from the Milk Minute Podcast where Heather and Maureen go on a pregnancy journey together to birth our newest podcast baby! Nine months ago Heather surprised Maureen by announcing her pregnancy on the Milk Minute and asking Maureen to be her (homebirth) midwife. Since then its been a wild ride of TMI, prenatal education, and so much more. Today we bring you a very anticipated episode where we document the last prenatal and birth of the baby! While this isn’t the full birth story, we kept a mic set up for updates during labor and kept a little captains log just for you. Enjoy some birth deets and raw emotions and get excited for the full story next week!!
