The Kick Pregnancy Podcast

Dr Patrick Moloney is an Australian obstetrician who has personally attended more than four thousand births, and he co-hosts this show with his wife Brigid, who is a midwife and the mother of their four boys. The combination works better than you might expect. Patrick handles the clinical pieces, things like what actually happens during an induction, why certain blood tests are ordered, how labor progress is measured, and Brigid pulls the conversation back toward the practical experience of being the person in the bed. The show is produced by Mamamia, which gives it a cleaner polish than a lot of independent pregnancy podcasts, but the Moloneys themselves are the reason to listen. They have a calm, conversational delivery that makes hard topics feel manageable, and they're willing to contradict the usual internet advice when the evidence doesn't support it. Episodes range across fertility, early pregnancy, common complications, birth planning, and early postpartum. If you want medical information from someone who has actually been in the delivery room thousands of times, paired with the warmth of a family that has lived through four pregnancies of their own, this one earns its place on the list.
