Liesel Teen

Why We Like It

Liesel Teen built a 3-million-follower TikTok account by doing something elegantly simple: using her decade of labor and delivery nursing experience to explain birth in plain language, without the sanitizing and oversimplification that makes most pregnancy content useless. The hospital bag checklists, epidural explainers, and what-to-expect-in-the-delivery-room content she produces are genuinely the best free birth prep resources available in short-form format. If you are pregnant and on social media, you are probably already following her — and if you are not, start today.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Labor and delivery nurse background gives her content a clinical credibility that lifestyle pregnancy accounts cannot touch — she has seen thousands of births and the practical knowledge comes through in every post
• Birth prep content is genuinely useful: epidural explainers, cervical dilation breakdowns, what pushing actually looks like — the stuff OBs often forget to explain and first-time parents desperately need to know
• Posting frequency is exceptional — near-daily content across TikTok and Instagram means there is always something new, and the volume never compromises quality

Cons

• Heavy focus on the birth experience means pregnancy health, nutrition, and prenatal care content is less developed than the birth prep material
• High follower count and content volume means individual comments and questions get less personal engagement than smaller community accounts
