Birth Story Submission

Thank you for your interest in sharing your birth story on the All About Pregnancy & Birth podcast. My focus is on sharing the stories of birth that occur in hospitals in the United States, and to include as many perspectives as possible. Please note that not all recorded birth stories will be released on the podcast.

Due to the tremendous number of requests we receive, we are not able to provide individual responses. If we think it's a good fit we'll reach out. Please note that it may be several weeks (or even months) after your initial submission. Thank you!
