A new kind of Pregnancy Podcast! If you used to pop champagne in the clurrrrb and now you’re popping prenatal vitamins, well, you’ve come to the right place. From the writer and creator of the comedy Instagram and Podcast “Big Kid Problems†comes a brand new show about the roller coaster of Pregnancy. Each week, Sarah will be giving an honest (and often humorous) look into pregnancy while giving you tangible information on things to know for that week like common symptoms you may be facing, baby's development, expert tips, and to-do's to help keep you on track. It's a new kind of party!
The Bottle Service with Big Kid Problems podcast is an incredibly relatable and informative podcast for anyone going through pregnancy or planning to become a parent. Sarah Merrill Hall, the host, shares her personal experiences and provides a realistic perspective on pregnancy, making it feel like you're having a one-on-one conversation with a friend. This podcast has been a lifesaver for many listeners, providing them with knowledge and normalizing their experiences.
One of the best aspects of The Bottle Service with Big Kid Problems podcast is how relatable Sarah is. She opens up about her own pregnancy journey, sharing both the joys and challenges she encounters along the way. Listeners appreciate her authenticity and vulnerability as she discusses topics that are often not talked about openly during pregnancy. Sarah's ability to relate to her audience creates a sense of comfort and makes listeners feel less alone in their own experiences.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its educational value. Sarah not only shares personal anecdotes but also provides valuable information about pregnancy-related topics.

This podcast serves as a helpful resource for those who may feel naive or unsure about what to expect during their own pregnancies.
However, one potential drawback of The Bottle Service with Big Kid Problems podcast may be its lighthearted approach towards pregnancy. While many listeners appreciate the humor and cheeky perspective, some may prefer a more serious or scientific tone when it comes to discussing pregnancy-related topics. It's important for listeners to remember that this podcast is more entertainment-focused than strictly educational.
In conclusion, The Bottle Service with Big Kid Problems podcast is an entertaining and informative resource for anyone going through or planning for pregnancy. Sarah Merrill Hall's relatability, authenticity, and knowledge make this podcast stand out from others in its genre. Whether you're looking for advice or simply want to feel understood during your own journey into parenthood, this podcast provides a refreshing and enjoyable listening experience.

We're talking mom-shaming, the hacks currently saving our sanity, and how to keep that MILF energy alive… even on the days when you'd rather just dress like Adam Sandler

Now WAIT—I know what you're thinking… finance is probably your least favorite “F” word too. But when it comes to family planning and fertility treatments, it's an important piece of the puzzle. We've talked about the emotional side of fertility struggles and IVF on the show before, but today we're pulling back the curtain on the financial reality. Because let's be honest—things like IVF, egg freezing, and other treatments can be really expensive. And to make matters more complicated, insurance doesn't always cover them. So what are we supposed to do? This week, Claire Tomkins, CEO & Founder of Future Family (and mom of three via IVF) joins the show. After six rounds of IVF (and over $100K) to conceive her first child, she became passionate about making fertility care more accessible and founded Future Family to help others navigate the process. In this episode, we cover: ✨ The real costs behind IVF, egg freezing, and other common fertility treatments ✨ Creative ways to make treatments more financially manageable ✨ The role of insurance and what to look out for in your benefits ✨ Claire's personal advice for anyone thinking about or currently going through the process If you or someone you love is exploring fertility treatments, this episode is a must-listen!

Comedian and writer Rosebud Baker joins the show fresh off the release of her Netflix special, The Mother Lode, which is an absolute must-watch for anyone who's pregnant, postpartum, or just deep in the chaos of mom life. Filmed half while she was 8 months pregnant and half about a year into motherhood, Rosebud's special is laugh-out-loud funny, painfully relatable, and brilliantly honest. Sarah knew immediately after watching it that she had to get Rosebud on Bottle Service to share some laughs, talk real talk about the transition into motherhood, and celebrate the absurd, messy, beautiful ride that is becoming a parent. Expect giggles, truth bombs, and that rare kind of comic relief only another mom can deliver. Want more from Rosebud? Instagram: @rosebudbaker Watch: The Mother Lode on Netflix! See her LIVE!
