The Unplanned Parent is a podcast about what it actually takes to bring a child into the world: the decisions, the health prep, the weird legal conversations, and everything your doctor doesn't have time to explain. Hosted by pediatrician Dr. Angel Rampal and her free-spirited nomadic brother, Raman, the show follows Raman's real-time journey into platonic co-parenting with his longtime friend, Ashley, who is currently pregnant via IVF. Angel brings the science. Raman brings the chaos. Together they cover the questions most parents don't know to ask, from preconception health to the stuff no one puts in a birth plan. Whether you're expecting, considering it, or just curious what modern family-building actually looks like up close, this is the show for you. New episodes drop every other week.
