Just US: Before, Birth, and Beyond
Welcome to Just Us: Before, Birth, and Beyond. We invite you to tune in for a podcast focused on perinatal and community health. In an effort to raise awareness and start a conversation about perinatal health, our hosts have joined forces with doulas, midwives, nurses, lactation consultants, physicians and more from across North Carolina to share best practices, lived experiences, and lessons learned. Just Us explores real topics and dives into what has happened, what is happening, and what can happen next in the sexual and reproductive health and wellness space. Our goal is to learn and grow together in order to take care of ourselves and each other so that we can all live our healthiest lives. Thank you for being here. Let’s get started!
This project was made possible thanks to the funding, guidance and support from North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services - Division of Public Health - Maternal Health Branch-Women, Infant and Community Wellness Section.
This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $10,216,885 with 0% financed with nongovernmental sources.

Season 2, Episode 12: Voice of a Father
Join us in listening to Michael Hall illustrate the importance of fatherhood, which is an angle we don’t normally hear from in the maternal health realm. Cindy McMillan asks Michael about his experience as a father through the whole process of bringing new life into the world. He discusses the importance of practicing “Hands on Fatherhood,” and how this change can make the birthing process and postpartum healthier for the mother and the child. If you want to hear more about Michael’s personal experiences as a father, tune into “Voice of a Father!”
