Then, midwife and "Queer Conception" author Liam Kali joins the podcast for a life-affirming conversation about the differences between a midwife, an OBGYN, and a doula, the specific gender and sexuality needs of queer and trans fertility and pregnancy, and how to make childbearing more comfortable and inclusive for everyone.
