    To round off the 3-part series on child birth, Melissa and Elisheva wanted to peer into the world of women who have given birth during Israel's current war.

    They also interviewed friend of the pod Bracha Lamm Berger who takes us through the rollercoaster ride of her third trimester, birth, and post-partum period while her husband has been serving the IDF in Gaza.
