In this episode, we're exploring 4 sources of words that may be spoken over you during a pregnancy: your birth attendant(s), your husband, your self, and your birth preparation materials.

Words are powerful -- holding the power of life and death! -- so use them with intention and gather life-speakers around you during this vulnerable time.
