Hello and welcome to Gossip Time, a weekly guide to the stars by Allie Jones. I\u2019m out on maternity leave, but today I\u2019m bringing you some celebrity gossip via the parenting podcast world.<\/em><\/p>\nIn the lead up to giving birth to my second baby, I revisited one of the strangest but most revealing podcasts available today: the \u201cInformed Pregnancy\u201d podcast with Dr. Elliot Berlin. <\/strong>Have you heard of this guy? He is a \u201cprenatal chiropractor\u201d \u2014 yes, that\u2019s a thing \u2014 who is plugged into the woo-woo home-birth parenting world in LA that intersects with a fair number of celebrity moms. I can\u2019t tell you anything about his services, but I do recommend the podcast, which has become one of the most under-the-radar venues for celebrity gossip over the past few years.<\/span><\/p>\nI have not personally ever been interested in a home birth (and was not a candidate for one anyway \u2014 I had polyhydramnios at the end of both pregnancies and needed to be in the hospital), but I love listening to all kinds of birth stories. They reveal so much: What the person\u2019s romantic relationship is like, how they view the medical establishment, what kind of parent they desire to be, and sometimes even what they eat in a day or what the layout of their house is like. These episodes are gold! Even though Berlin is kind of a weirdo and not even a particularly good interviewer.<\/p>\n
Most of these are two-parters: Berlin interviews the women before birth and after. Here are some of my favorites.<\/p>\n
