As I am anticipating the birth of our eighth child any day now, I sat down to answer some of your questions about how my pregnancy has been going, my plans for birth, and how we are preparing for baby number eight!
In this episode, I’m answering:

What would I tell my first-time pregnant self?

What kinds of tests do I have while pregnant?

Do we have a list of names for this baby?

How long do I nurse my babies and how do I wean?

What do I love so much about the Bradley method?
