She’s the chick who helps moms and babies, the one and only Nina Spears, founder and CEO of The Baby Chick®, is hereeee! Nina is a certified baby planner, birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, newborn care specialist, infant massage instructor, and perinatal nutrition expert who has worked with more than 800 families in person, thousands virtually, and has supported over 350 births over the past 15 years.
She’s also the host of Chick Chat: The Baby Chick Podcast and the author of The Baby Chick Guide to Positive Pregnancy, which just published June 2026. She says it’s, “essentially what I’ve been wanting my clients to have for the last 15 years”.
And what does it mean to have a positive pregnancy?
Nina says it’s all about feeling informed, supported, and empowered.
But, it’s also having conversations about the realities of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum that just aren’t happening…until this episode.
What we aren’t talking about enough that we take a deep dive into today:
- The invisible load of motherhood that starts DURING pregnancy
- Not just holding the baby, but also holding the mama
- Patrescence and the hormone shift of dads
- What actually helps women feel prepared and supported for a baby
- Why peace on earth begins with birth
- Villages are never free
- Deciding to VBAC and honing in on what YOU really want
- The pressures that VBAC moms carry
- Debunking the superiority of birth
Nina is an absolute joy! We promise this episode is SUCH a good one.
