Welcome to The Birth Link podcast!
The Birth Link, hosted by Colette Wagholikar, a seasoned labor and delivery nurse and mother of two, welcomes you to listen in as herself and her mission are here to educate and support expectant mothers and parents like you.

The episode features an interview with her friend, Alexis, a new mom, who shares her emotional pregnancy and birth story, highlighting the importance of being informed and supported through the birthing process.
