"Midwives, Doulas & Mayhem"

Welcome to "Midwives, Doulas & Mayhem" — the wildly honest, occasionally unhinged, and always heartwarming podcast that dives deep into the beautiful chaos of bringing babies into the world… and surviving what comes after.
Hosted by Ezra Hill, each episode features real stories from first-time moms, seasoned midwives, hilarious doulas, and adoptive parents navigating bottles, blowouts, and breakdowns — with equal parts wisdom and wit.
Whether it’s a doula’s first-ever delivery, the emotional ride of adoption day, or just trying to figure out why the baby won’t nap (again), nothing is off limits. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry (probably from sleep deprivation), and we’ll talk about it all — birth plans, postpartum panic, toddler tantrums, and the joy tucked somewhere between the messes.
This week’s episode:A doula recounts her first birth as a support partner (and what she forgot to pack). A first-time mom shares how labor went nothing like the books said. An adoptive parent opens up about bonding, waiting, and the moment everything changed.
Parenting isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is this show.If you're into raw stories, real community, and the occasional well-timed poop joke, you're in the right place.
Subscribe, laugh through the madness, and pass the burp cloth.
