About Vanessa and the Pregnancy Podcast
Hello! I’m Vanessa, and I’m here to support expecting moms (and partners, too!) with evidence-based information to navigate the awesome adventure of pregnancy, birth, and being a new parent.
After finding out I was pregnant in December 2013, I kind of freaked out. Don’t get me wrong, I was really excited!! But also freaked out. After doing some initial research on what this whole pregnancy and parenting thing was all about, I realized I was in over my head.

There are sample plans for everything from a home birth to a planned cesarean and everything in between, so no matter what type of birth you are planning, this book has you covered. Plus, the master template includes everything you could include in your birth plan, and it is super quick and easy to customize it to fit your preferences.
