Send us a text

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!
