Hi, my name is Megan Jennings, and I am a birth junkie *raises hands* ;) I am a wife, a mother of two little crazy people, a gym addict, a lover of beach volleyball, a marketing & communications specialist at a medtech start-up, a transplant from the beaches of Los Angeles to the rural countryside of Sweden, and now... a podcast host!

​

My love of all things birth was born (pun intended?) the day I became a mother.  I had always feared pregnancy and childbirth, but little did I know what an absolutely incredible and transformative life experience it would be! But I also never foresaw myself becoming a mother abroad... and considering as I knew no one who had done it themselves, I had no idea how many pitfalls and challenges would be involved.. everything from language barriers to guilt about keeping my babies so far from their maternal grandparents to trying to navigate a foreign medical systm for help.

​

My intention with this podcast has always been to be a forum for women to share their stories - fertility journeys, miscarriage and loss, pregnancies and antenatal care, childbirth and postnatal care, cultural differences and lifestyle considerations, and beyond... all from the perspective of women doing it away from their "first home".  

​

This is a safe place to speak about the highs and lows of birthing abroad, the challenges and triumphs, and a place to share our wisdom with the women who will follow after us.
