28 Jan 2023
Send us a textSophie Walker is the creator and host of the hugely successful Australian Birth Stories podcast. The poddy has more than 11 million downloads, and 350 episodes of women sharing their birth experience - and not just the blissful bits.Sophie’s podcast community has become a sort of virtual birthing village - especially during covid lockdowns. “I wish I had known!” or “Why didn't someone tell me!” are phrases often uttered by women after they give birth for the first time, but Sophie’s aim is to share the wisdom and the stories, so that others can make informed and empowered decisions as they prepare for their new stage of motherhood.And now, along with the help of brilliant author Jodi Wilson, the pair has written and released The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth.The book weaves through stories from the podcast but also draws on the expertise of perinatal experts and is medically reviewed by a series of doctors. It covers the first/second/and third trimester > labor and birth > and early post-partum. It also doesn't shy away from challenging topics which can often be glazed over.Sophie’s created the book she wishes she could’ve had.
