| 0:00.0 | It is that time of year. I am recapping the top episodes of the podcast from 2024. |
| 0:11.6 | Welcome to the All About Pregnancy and Birth Podcast. If you're having a baby in the hospital, |
| 0:17.2 | you are giving birth in a system that too often takes away power from women over what |
| 0:21.6 | happens in their own bodies. I'm Dr. Nicole Calloway Rankins, a practicing board certified |
| 0:27.0 | OBGYN, who's had the privilege of helping well over a thousand babies into this world. I've been |
| 0:32.3 | a doctor for over 20 years, and I'm here to help you take back your power, advocate for yourself, and have the beautiful |

| 1:20.8 | episodes in the beginning of the year have been out longer, so they have a longer opportunity |
| 1:26.5 | to have been downloaded. What happens a lot |
| 1:29.6 | when people first come to the podcast is that they listen and then they go back and download |
| 1:34.2 | lots of episodes. So the longer the episodes are out, the more opportunity they have to be downloaded. |
| 1:40.2 | So just keep that little tidbit of information in your mind when you're here, the episodes. |
| 1:44.6 | It's not that the later ones aren't great also. It's just that the earlier ones have a little |
