It’s about preparation, advocacy, and trust… inside the hospital and inside our home.šŸ‘£ Let us know your thoughts — Did anything feel suddenly real to you in your pregnancy journey?#PregnancyJourney #BlackParents #DoctorParents #ParentingPodcast #Episode15 #NestingMode #MaternalHealth #WaddleWaddle #HealthyHappyHeard
