Description
We are 2 labor and delivery nurses in Los Angeles, CA. On this podcast, we discuss all things birth, babies, breastfeeding, and beyond! We're getting behind the scenes of the nursing world--what makes us as nurses tick and how we can help you have a smoother experience in labor and delivery. Our goal is to provide education for patients-to-be as well as L&D nurses trying to navigate their way through providing care for patients in one of the most intimate (and sometimes scary) times of their life!
