Lo & Behold | Pregnancy, Birth, Motherhood

Lo Mansfield holds an MSN, is a registered nurse with obstetric certification (RNC-OB), a certified lactation counselor, a mother of four, and the founder of The Labor Mama online birth education platform. She launched Lo & Behold in mid-2025, making it one of the newer entries in the pregnancy podcast space, but her clinical background gives the content a depth that belies the show's youth. The podcast covers pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, and modern motherhood. Lo draws on her years working as a labor and postpartum nurse to explain what's actually happening during each stage of the process -- not just the textbook version, but the reality of what you'll see, feel, and deal with in the hospital or birthing center. Her clinical perspective is especially valuable for first-time parents who want to understand procedures and protocols before they're in the middle of them. Episodes feature a mix of educational content and birth stories from other mothers. The birth story episodes give listeners a chance to hear varied experiences -- from fast unmedicated hospital deliveries to complicated situations involving postpartum and breastfeeding struggles. Lo lets her guests tell their stories fully while adding clinical context where it's helpful. The show is still in its first year, so the archive is smaller than many of the established pregnancy podcasts. But the weekly release schedule is building it steadily, and Lo's combination of nursing credentials, lactation expertise, and personal experience as a mom of four makes each episode substantive. A promising new voice for expecting parents who appreciate clinical accuracy wrapped in an approachable style.
