Ep. 10: Shooting the S*%t with Nurse Midwife Teresa Keirns

Big Fat Positive is a smart and funny podcast about two best friends who found out they were pregnant at the same time. The show follows the moms-to-be on their journey through pregnancy and into new motherhood, week by week. With weekly check-ins, special guests and segments such as "OMG I’m Freaking Out," hosts Shanna Micko &amp; Laura Birek recount the often hilarious and always honest highs and lows of being a pregnant woman and new mom.

I love this podcast. I’ve listened to it religiously throughout my pregnancy and am looking forward to the postpartum episodes too. I love hearing from real people on their perspective of pregnancy, not just the facts all the time (there are plenty of other podcasts and books for that). I’m also having a scheduled C section (first baby) and this has been a nerve-calmer for sure for my last few weeks! Keep it up Laura &amp; Shanna!

Keeping Me Sane

I listened to one episode and couldn’t even finish because it kept getting so off topic. I wanted to listen to a podcast about pregnancy and get the information but don’t really care for all the extras. Maybe it’s just not my style.
