Welcome to The Doula's Guide To... Podcast, season 2 episode 31. This is the final episode of season 2 of the podcast and I thought I'd round it out with a lovely big chat all about what I'd personally do if I was pregnant right now and how I'd embrace, prepare and surrender to the pregnancy. I hope you enjoy listening, this episode is just for fun and completely hypothetical but it may just give you some nice things to consider or to get clued up on.
