One Way or a Mother is a new narrative podcast from Dr. Elliot Berlin, DC, host of The Informed Pregnancy Podcast. Each season is an intimate story of one woman, one pregnancy, and all of the preparations, emotions, and personal history leading up to the birth. Episodes feature the expectant mother along with her family, doctors, and birth work team.

In season one of OWAM, we meet Arianna who is pregnant with her second baby after a traumatic first birth experience. Follow along over 10 episodes as we hear her tell her story. She’s a mother of one who is seeking new resources and using learned life lessons to create a different, more positive birth experience for baby number two. Episodes feature Arianna and her inner circle including her mother, husband, doula, doctor, and other birth professionals who supported her process.

Episode 1: Meet Arianna and her husband Zach as they prepare for the birth of their second child. Arianna recounts her tumultuous younger years filled with rebellion, experimentation, and the struggles of growing up with a single mother in southern California. Now a filmmaker, she delves deep into her past and shares about how her experiences are shaping her current journey. With humor and vulnerability, Arianna discusses generational trauma, how close companionship turned into marriage, and how she's planning for a better birth experience this time around.
