It's a brand new show and it's really important in the launch of a new podcast to gather reviews.

Will you please help us spread the word by leaving a review so that more

mamas have a chance of finding this podcast when they search for one? We read every single review

and we promise to keep doing that. We love what everyone, all of you ladies, have been saying

about the Pregnancy and Birth Made Easy podcast here with My Essential Birth. So thank you everyone

for your continued support.

Our reviewer of the week is Shelby 1231, who says, this podcast has helped me so much.

When I found out I was pregnant, it was February and COVID had hit our state hard. I felt

so overwhelmed and depressed and it was making me more sad that I couldn't feel

happy. I found this podcast and it has helped me find my voice with my providers. I'm a health care

professional and it's still hard for us. I have since hired a doula and listened to the podcast every

week while driving to work. It's been my saving grace. Thank you, Courtney and Stephanie. I love that so much.

I, yeah, that one touched my heart very much. Thank you, Shelby. This is a question that you guys

asked us a ton when we were like, what do you want to know about? And this is a common question.
