All right, these last two are not physical. These are totally like mental, emotional, kind of weird

things. Maybe not weird, but just something that we deal with that isn't physical. But,

uh, so I want you to know that again, you are not alone with mental and emotional. I don't know

if we want to call it like negativity, but like negative thoughts or kind of outside things that make

us not feel good. It's not abnormal.

So even for a mom that like has never experienced any kind of like sadness, depression, like

where you would say like it's some kind of clinical form of whatever, you can still experience

that with all the hormones that happen during pregnancy.

Getting pregnant and giving birth are two of the most exciting things you can ever hope to experience in this life.

The moment you think you could be pregnant, you're frantically searching for all the best information, which is why you're here today.

I'm Stephanie King and with my many years of experience as a professional childbirth educator,

doula and lover of all things, pregnancy birth and postpartum, I'm here to make preparing for your

birth enjoyable, empowering, and totally easy. Each week, I'll cover different topics,

interview professionals, and get into the nitty-gritty birth stories from mamas just like you.

And when you're ready for more, you can join me in the My Essential Birth course at MyEessentialbirth.com,

where I take you step by step through exactly how to prepare your mind, body, spirit, and partner for a birth you love.

So let's get started. Welcome back to the podcast, guys. Let's start

with that reviewer of the week. If I haven't mentioned this before, I love reading these. I love that

you guys take the time to offer these kind of testimonials or whatever you have to say up.

And it puts me in a good mood every time.

So thank you.

So this one is from Car Bar and she says, amazing podcast.
