The Birth Journeys Podcast®️

Ever wonder how drastically different two births can be? Imagine one which is calm and another being a chaotic rush - that's the compelling narrative of our guest Lindsay Bermudez, co-founder of Babycito. Lindsay takes us on a journey through her two unique childbirth experiences, the support she received, and the subsequent inspiration to create a platform connecting new parents with resources in Northern Virginia (and one day beyond1!)
As we delve deeper, we unravel the unspoken physical and emotional challenges of natural childbirth, highlighting the significance of equipping oneself adequately. Sharing our personal struggles, we bring up the topic of breastfeeding, including challenges faced with milk protein intolerance and the quest to find the perfect formula. We explore the necessity of having a strong mindset and support system, whether it's through childbirth classes or a comprehensive platform for new parents.
To wrap up our conversation, we delve into Babycito and the critical role it plays in bridging the gap between families and crucial services like doulas and lactation consultants. One thing is clear - the need for support extends beyond childbirth and evolves as the child grows. Tune in to learn how Babycito aims to support families and connect them with the resources they need throughout this incredible journey called parenthood.

This podcast is intended as a safe space for women to share their birth experiences. It is not intended to provide medical advice. Each woman’s medical course of action is individual and may not appropriately transfer to another similar situation. Please speak to your medical provider before making any medical decisions. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that evidence based practice evolves as our knowledge of science improves. To the best of my ability I will attempt to present the most current ACOG and AWHONN recommendations at the time the podcast is recorded, but that may not necessarily reflect the best practices at the time the podcast is heard. Additionally, guests sharing their stories have the right to autonomy in their medical decisions, and may share their choice to go against current practice recommendations. I intend to hold space for people to share their decisions. I will attempt to share the current recommendations so that my audience is informed, but it is up to each individual to choose what is best for them.
