In this episode Stephanie's humour is on full display with a fun bag of cookies shaped like penises.  We discuss how Covid is affecting a surrogate family and we get a little political.

Even if your birth goes “smoothly and without a hitch” if you feel negatively toward your experience that’s okay. It is important that you speak to someone about it, preferably your family care provider, a counsellor, psychologist or psychiatrist.

This episode comes with a warning.  Do not listen while you are eating your lunch.  This week The Doulas describe things that gross them out during birth. You may not learn anything in this episode but you will definitely laugh, or vomit, or both.
