Expecting is a true crime podcast focusing on people who were pregnant at the time of their death. Homicide is a leading cause of death for pregnant people and while there is a person directly responsible for inflicting the violence or committing the murder, we (Jackie and Kate) think we are all culpable. We believe we all perpetrate systems like capitalism, white supremacy and misogyny and it is those systems that put us all in danger. You can contact Jackie or Kate expectingpodcastmedia@gmail.com (mailto:expectingpodcastmedia@gmail.com).

Kate covers the murder of Belinda Temple, who was 8 months pregnant and already a mom to another child. Jackie covers the murder of Vanessa Anderson and her baby Dior. She also describes the jacked up ways fetal homicide laws have been used against people like Purvi Patel and will continue to be used in this new post roe era with increased surveillance of pregnant people. #abortion #truecrime #postroe
