Under Construction!!

Pregnancy Place Radio - New Horizons

We are so excited about new programming options with Pregnancy Place Radio. We're admittedly teasing you with not divulging all the information just yet. We are in the process of the technical details of our website. As soon as we complete this first phase of our transformation, we will be able to share with our listeners the exact date of the debut of our new look.

Check back with us next Tuesday and we will share more of what we are doing...but guaranteed... it is going to be a great addition to the wonderful programs you have come to love!

Or...if you follow us on Facebook and Twitter, you will be one of the first to hear the great news!

Babies 411 & Twins 101

Pregnancy Place Radio - Episode 61 - Erica's Favorite Picks

(From Karen: I asked Erica to pick her favorite show from 2010, and rebel-that-she-is ;-) here's what she responded with…gotta love her!!!)

I CAN'T CHOOSE!!! I really like the shows with the label "Birth Processing" and "Hospital Birth" because many of my favorites are in there. While looking at all of the shows, though, I think the two I "feel" the most about is:

Twins 101 … because two of my most bestest friends share their voices to the community.



Babies 411 because of Diba Tillary and all the support Nurses give to families under their care.



So there, I picked two! Who says I have to play be the rules :-) There are to many great programs that I would like to bring back to the table. I don't have to because they can be listened to any time in our archives, but to choose my favorite, it's like picking my favorite kid!

Thank you for listening and making our efforts worth while. We are honored to be a part of your journeys and so thankful for all of the connections this show has allowed us.

We are looking forward to continuing our "I'm Pregnant, Now What!?!?" Series next week, when we interview a great friend and colleague, OBGYN Lara Williams and talk about hospital births. You do not want to miss this show...she is so informative and entertaining!

We also have some fun new changes to our format coming in the new year. After the holidays, we will be sharing with you a new approach we are going to take to be able to connect with you, our audience with the content and format you desire. We are going to be able to be more interactive and diverse. Be watching for this in January.
