Welcome back to Call Your Mom Friends, the motherhood podcast where we blend hilarious mom stories with honest conversations about birth, postpartum, and parenting.

In this episode, we dive into birth history—from the dark era of Twilight Sleep in the 1950s, to the overly medicalized hospital births of the 1970s, to how those experiences still echo in our own motherhood journeys today. You’ll hear:

The shocking reality of Twilight Sleep: women restrained, blindfolded, and left with no memory of their birth experience.

How formula feeding was marketed as “modern and scientific,” leading to historic lows in breastfeeding.

The generational impact of birth trauma—and why words like “deliver” vs. “give birth” matter.

The importance of choosing your birth team wisely and knowing your birth rights.

A surprising detour into elephants, dolphins, and what animals can teach us about intuition, birth, and postpartum support. 🐘🐬

Personal highs and lows from Lauren’s fertility journey, Charity’s bittersweet milestone as her son turns 4, and Amey’s reflections on friendship and motherhood.

✨ Fridays are for Call Waiting — our weekly mom-friend call-in segment where real moms share raw, hilarious, and relatable stories you won’t hear in the school pickup line.
