I've been listening nearly every work day since I first found out I was expecting! it is like having pregnant friends going through the experience with you. not to mention there is a decent amount of learning and tons of cute stories involved in their parenting! I am always telling my sweetheart stories from the podcast and recommend it to my friends and family.

A fun listen for a pregnant mom!

I started listening to BFP when I was about 24 weeks, and I have absolutely loved it! It is a great combination of comedy, education, and commiseration.
