About This Show

Tokophobia and The Postpartum Project aim to change the conversation about maternal care in the U.S. Tokophobia explores the prevalence of our culturally created fear of pregnancy and birth . The Postpartum Project continues the conversation with moms after birth to find out how it’s going, and talks to experts about why postpartum care in the U.S. lags behind global standards. Both pieces are based on a series of verbatim interviews with mothers, birth partners, and medical professionals.
