Have you ever wondered why so many hospital birth protocols include interventions that don’t actually improve outcomes?
In this episode, we will cover:
- The hospital procedures that are “routine” but rarely necessary—and how they often lead to more interventions...
- Why saying no to things like continuous monitoring or coached pushing can actually lead to safer, smoother births...
- How to decline unnecessary hospital interventions without being labeled “difficult” (and still be taken seriously)...
- … and a whole lot more!
If you’re ready to protect your peace and advocate for a birth that feels aligned with your values—not hospital policy—then this episode is for you!
