Big Fat Positive: Pregnancy and Parenting (BFP)

Laura Birek and Shanna Micko started this show when they were both eight weeks pregnant, and that origin story tells you everything about the vibe. Big Fat Positive is two best friends who happened to get pregnant at the same time, talking through every weird, wonderful, and slightly terrifying part of the experience together. With over 440 episodes now, they've long since graduated from pregnancy into full-on parenting territory, but the show still feels like sitting in on a conversation between your funniest mom friends.
Each week runs about 45-60 minutes and follows a loose structure that keeps things moving. You'll hear recurring segments like "Internet Insanity" (exactly what it sounds like), "Mom Wins" for celebrating small victories, and "What I Googled This Week" -- which, if you've ever been pregnant at 2 AM, you know is peak relatable content. Every episode wraps with their signature "BFPs and BFNs," where they share their big fat positives and negatives from the week.
What sets this apart from more clinical pregnancy podcasts is the comedy angle. Laura and Shanna are genuinely funny, and they bring honesty without taking themselves too seriously. They still weave in evidence-based info and expert interviews, but it never feels like a lecture. The 4.7-star rating with nearly 500 reviews backs that up. If you want pregnancy content that makes you laugh as much as it informs you, this is the one.
